Finger dominance.
Two hundred and ninety-eight normal participants were reviewed to assess finger dominance. Participants were recruited from several large hospitals across the north-west of England and the study was done under blind conditions. From the 298 people originally in the trial, six had to be excluded as the dominant finger could not be confirmed with certainty. The index finger was the most dominant in 82.5% of the test group. However, in 10.6% of the test group, the middle finger was found to be the most dominant.
