Which terminal device is recommended for a TR patient wanting to pick up a small coin from a table?

The 5XA terminal device is specifically designed to enhance precision grip and is well-suited for activities that require fine motor control, such as picking up small objects like coins. Its design allows for a more precise grasp compared to other terminal devices, making it ideal for tasks that demand dexterity.

This particular device features a dual-adjustable hook that can mimic the function of a natural hand more closely than simpler designs. The ability to finely tune the grip strength and position makes it advantageous for someone with a transradial (TR) amputation who needs to grasp small items.

Other options may provide broader or less precise gripping capabilities, which are less effective for tasks requiring finesse, such as handling small coins. The mechanical prosthetic hand option, while functional, may not offer the fine motor control necessary for such delicate manipulations compared to the 5XA. Its capabilities are generally geared towards more generalized tasks rather than specialized handling of small objects.
