fine manipulation

Medical (general)
This is part of a form that describes any work restrictions a worker may have due to injury. Other terms include pushing and pulling, simple grasping, etc. The only word I have found that comes close to describing this is the ability to perform "Feinarbeit". Any help is appreciated!

Good Luck!
