title: The motion analysis system and the fingertip motion area. Normal values in young adults.
abstract: The reliability of the motion analysis system and the normal value of the fingertip motion area have been studied in young adults. The results indicate that the motion analysis system is a reliable tool for the evaluation of fingertip motion. It was found that the fingertip motion area in young adults has a linear correlation with the square of the finger length. Therefore, the normal value of the fingertip motion area can be calculated from the finger length.
