- The study aimed to establish normative data for the active range of motion (ROM) of finger joints in a healthy Indian population, as such data was previously unavailable.

- Results showed the middle finger had the highest flexion at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint, while the index finger had the greatest proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint flexion, providing insight into finger joint functionality in the sampled population.
