The range of motion of the index finger is 90° for MCP flexion, 45° for MCP extension, 100° for PIP flexion, 0° for PIP extension, 80° for DIP flexion, 0° for DIP extension. All the range of motion for thumb, middle, ring, and little finger is normal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
