Patients (n = 9) and controls (n = 11) completed a finger tapping task, a simple auditory monitoring task and a challenging working memory task, designed to induce mental fatigue, while undergoing fMRI.
The child's one complete finger was curled in a tiny grasp, much like a young chimpanzee's.
The time required to perform a complete finger extension (grip myotonia time, GMT) at maximum velocity (MV) after maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) was evaluated through an ad hoc protocol including rest, exercise, and ice effects on handgrip myotonia.
i Clinical aspect 3 years post-operatively: complete finger flexion.
j Clinical aspect 3 years post-operatively: complete finger extension (plantar view).
k Clinical aspect 3 years post-operatively: complete finger extension (lateral view).
In such cases, after releasing the contractures, skin grafting, and assembling the frame, slow distraction can be started and continued until complete finger extension is obtained.
The result 2 weeks after operation Open image in new window Fig. 9 Severe volar contracture of all four fingers following burns Open image in new window Fig. 10 After releasing the contractures, skin grafting and assembling the frame, slow distraction was started and continued until complete finger extension was obtained.
Finally, we tested whether 2D:4D ratios differed when the complete finger, including the non-bony finger tips, was measured.
For 53 randomly sampled digit ratios, digit lengths were also measured for the complete finger (i.e., including the non-bony finger tip).
