Meanings of prehension in English

Two experiments were carried out: the prehension experiment and the grasp perturbation experiment.

In the stationary-object prehension task, subjects had to pick up a stationary target object.

Such a precision grip device may form the groundwork for future studies on prehension mechanisms.

The presentation of distractors had no effects on the prehension kinematics of the control subjects.

TENTACULA or TENTACLES.-Delicatefleshy organs of prehension or touch possessed by many of the lower animals.

Augustus was delighted-notso much at the acceptance of this guest, but his own wonderful prehension.

The results of this study are interpreted in favour of the strict dependence of prehension control on proprioception.

In the prehension experiment temporal parameters of the patient's movements were generally slowed, with greater variability on some measures.

Hers is not a strong or focused talent, and trying for such powerful prehension of the earth debases her to it.

In this study we investigated the role of proprioception in the control of prehension movements, with particular reference to the grasp component.

This indicates that the final position of the thumb and the index finger is a controlled parameter of visuomotor transformation during prehension.

The data allowed us to investigate also the respective contribution of proprioception and of vision of the hand in the control of prehension.

Both the transport and the grasp components of prehension were influenced by the distance between the resting hand position and the object position.

In the grasp perturbation experiment a mechanical perturbation was applied to the fingers during prehension movements, again executed with and without visual feedback.

To this purpose we studied the kinematics of prehension movements in a patient with a right parietal lesion and in six right-handed healthy control subjects.
