In signing, "orientation" refers to the specific direction or position of the palm and fingers while forming a sign. It indicates how the hand is oriented or held in relation to the body or other objects. The orientation of the hand can affect the meaning of the sign. For example, a change in palm orientation can change a sign from meaning "open" to "close" or from "up" to "down."
