b) a base portion operable to rotate the elongate digit having a proximal side and a distal side and being connected to said anchor portion through the bearing part;
c) the elongate digit having a proximal end and a distal end and extending along a longitudinal axis X;
d) a first portion of a pivot connection mounted on the base portion;
e) a second portion of a pivot connection mounted on the proximal end of the digit and being connected to the first portion of the pivot connection;
f) an actuator to cause pivotal movement of said digit around said pivot connection; wherein
g) said base portion includes a second longitudinal axis X2 extending between said proximal side and said distal side of the base portion and a bearing between the base portion and said anchor portion and in which said base portion is mounted to said anchor portion via said bearing and rotatable with the digit about said second longitudinal axis X2; and
h) including a rotation actuator for causing rotational movement of the digit within said bearing about said second longitudinal axis X2, wherein said rotational actuator comprises a motor mounted within the digit and including a torque tube connected at a first end to the rotational actuator and at a second end to the anchor.
