Live To Roll - Another informative video on what tinodesis is and how quadriplegics use tinodesis grasp to pick things up in daily life. I show how I use it to hold basic stuff like a water bottle and how I use it pick things up off of a coffee table and the floor.

What it is - Tenodesis grasp and release is an orthopedic observation of a passive hand grasp and release mechanism, affected by wrist extension or flexion, respectively. It is caused by the manner of attachment of the finger tendons to the bones and the passive tension created by two-joint muscles used to produce a functional movement or task (tenodesis). Moving the wrist in extension or flexion will cause the fingers to curl or grip when the wrist is extended, and to straighten or release when the wrist is flexed.
Simply explained it's the wrist extension tightening the tendons in your hand to close your fingers and form a grasp.
