fingerbøyning
Fingerbøyning, or finger bending, is the movement of bending the fingers at their joints. In Norwegian medical language the term describes the flexion of the fingers, primarily at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints. It is essential for grasping and manipulating objects.
Anatomy: The finger joints, tendons, and muscles allow flexion. The primary flexors are flexor digitorum superficialis
Clinical relevance: Reduced or painful finger bending can result from injuries or diseases, such as Dupuytren's
Treatment and rehabilitation: Depending on cause, treatment includes physical therapy, splints, anti-inflammatory medications, or surgery for
