Fingertapping, often referred to in clinical and research contexts as the finger tapping task or finger tapping test, is a simple motor task in which a person rapidly taps with one or more fingers on a surface for a fixed period. The task is used to assess motor speed, dexterity, rhythm, and timing control, and to study neural control of voluntary movement.
Procedure commonly involves tapping the index finger on a key or surface as fast as possible for
Applications span clinical, research, and technological domains. In neurology, fingertapping helps assess motor speed and bradykinesia
