Thank you all for your help.
As a matter of fact, I've found out that "FBM" does not stand for "fibromyalgia", but for "Funciones Basicas de la Mano".

power grip

One of the two types the human hand is capable of. The other is "pinza fina", "precision grip" in English, which also occurs as "fine grip" or "pinch grip". If you follow the link, on page 27 you will find a description together with an illustration.

Thank you!
agree Vepalm : Goog translation: power grip: fingers wrapped around the handles. Not "pinch grip"= "precision grip" is with all 4 fingers, against the thumb.
