Flexor tendon gliding in the hand. Part II. Differential gliding

M A Wehbé et al. J Hand Surg Am. 1985 Jul.

Abstract

Flexor tendon gliding was studied in vivo in 48 hands. Three finger motions--straight-fist, hook, and fist--were found to provide maximum differential gliding for superficialis and profundus tendons in respect to each other, as well as in respect to the flexor sheath and bone.
