Key points

  • Useful for watching hand position and small, localised movements close up.
  • Shows friction applied with fingertips, thumbs, reinforced fingers and a soft fist.
  • Frictions are worked in small areas and repeated along the muscle.

Cautions

  • No narration, so it does not explain pressure, direction or client feedback. Use it alongside the library note.
