If the pinky finger is responsible for 50% of the hand strength, why my insurer only give peanut if I lost that finger in an accident vsvthe others? Why the British raise their tea cup without that finger and why I can raise heavy load without it?
The muscles that control the fingers are predominantly in the forearm. I’m not sure just what are they measuring to come up with a quantitative value for each finger. Strength flexing, extending, abducting? The hand and fingers are mostly a system of tendons, like cables and pulleys.

If the pinky is 50%, does the thumb or index finger have the next highest percent?

Virtually certain that this is a repost of an earlier BION. Anybody else think so?

An “or not” story. I think he had lazyitus and his operation was getting his arse out of bed.

I should think it’s the middle finger since that gets the most use…
