Note from asker to answerer
thanks to all for your contribution to my query, particularly Neil and Paul whose argument re loss mobility
vs. loss of the actual appendage brought up a valid point. In the end I went for "at the joint" since it seemed like the safest option. Thanks

[loss of] mobility

Explanation:
as this is not dismemberment ;-) but disability....are we not perhaps talking about the loss of mobility?

This would certainly be the case if we were talking about a machine worker, pianist, seamstress, athlete (for example) sustaining an injury where the hand were still functional for holding a fork to eat but not for continuing their trade.

loss of mobility or loss of use is key...not necessarily loss of the appendage

disagree Neil Crockford: The qyuery relates to two of a long list of injuries, each with a percentage of the disablement benefit which figure in the "Continental Scale" of benefits. Total & irrevocable loss of use is normally stated to be equivalent to physical loss.

  -> I don't think it is going out on a limb to say loss of use/loss of mobility...dismemberment would require other language...from an insurance perspective, such losses are often differentiated

  -> Thanks
neutral pcjohnz: loss of use/mobility (which I would suggest is not complete)//considering your link, loss of use of the hand up to the wrist is a 100% payout.

  -> See my comment on your answer. There's nothing in the Italian text to say it's "loss of use" and the normal wording shows physical loss percentages and explains that loss of use is deemed to be equivalent to it.
