The greater the need for maintaining balance, for example, during vertikal climbing or in movement along the narow branches, the mre complete the djustment of the hand form on the surface and the more complete the alignment of the hand on the branch will be. Additional support is supplied by the longitudinal palm furrow, caused by the radio-ulnar adduction of the hand edges and by the clinging properties of the volar pads...
