Difference between Hand and Knuckle-walking

Hand vs. Knuckle-walking

A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the end of the forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, and lemurs. Knuckle-walking is a form of quadrupedal walking in which the forelimbs hold the fingers in a partially flexed posture that allows body weight to press down on the ground through the knuckles.

Similarities between Hand and Knuckle-walking

Hand and Knuckle-walking have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bipedalism, Capitate bone, Chimpanzee, Finger, Hamate bone, Interphalangeal joints of the hand, Metacarpophalangeal joint, Phalanx bone.

Bipedalism

Bipedalism is a form of terrestrial locomotion where an organism moves by means of its two rear limbs or legs.

Capitate bone

The capitate bone is found in the center of the carpal bone region, colloquially known as the wrist, which is at the distal end of the radius and ulna bones.

Hamate bone

The hamate bone or unciform bone (from Latin uncus, "hook") is a bone in the human wrist readily distinguishable by its wedge shape and a hook-like process ("hamulus") projecting from its palmar surface.

Interphalangeal joints of the hand

The interphalangeal joints of the hand are the hinge joints between the phalanges of the fingers that provide flexion towards the palm of the hand.

Metacarpophalangeal joint

The metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) are situated between the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges of the digits.
