Furthermore, the flexor digitorum profundus—a deep muscle responsible for bending the fingers at the tips—is also under significant strain, pointing to intense gripping, pulling, or sustained finger ...

Strong pulp-to-pulp pinch between the thumb and fingers, with flexion of the metacarpophalangeal joints and extension of proximal and distal interphalangeal joints, cannot be performed.

Thus, finger joints should be passively mobilized through a wide range of motion (ROM) with physiotherapy. During passive mobilization, sequential flexion of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint ...

Which ones among the three factors: complexity, intrusion of flexor bias, and unchecked biomechanical constraint, dominate the finger individuation impairment after stroke? Here we set out to examine ...

These results suggest that finger individuation impairment after stroke is due to two dissociable factors: the loss of finger control complexity present in the healthy hand reflecting a top-down ...

A healthy 25-year-old man presented with worsening pain and swelling over the ring finger metacarpophalangeal joint and mild scissoring of the index finger 11 months after a procedure for a ...

This week: Robbie Ray ’s flexor strain has some fantasy players worried about eventual Tommy John surgery, we try to pin down a Jorge Polanco timeline, we unwrap the Kenta Maeda situation, there ...
