Despite the broad utility of grasp taxonomies to describe manual abilities, no such tool exists for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). This leaves gaps in the practical assessment of assistive devices and tools that people with SCI might use during dexterous manipulation. Here, we evaluate the grasp strategies employed by individuals with C5-7 SCI using six publicly available videos to develop a preliminary taxonomy.
