Abstract

Flexion and extension of are simple to and fro movements of the digits. The articulations producing the fully extended or flexed finger are simple condyles. Analysis of the kinetics of the exercise shows that despite its seemingly rudimentary biomechanical sortie, flexionextension of the fingers follows a characteristic mathematical precision and geometric equilibrium, circumscribing a cochlea spiral. Moreover, linear measurements of each osseous elements of the individual digit show a sequential series of increments in dimension, a rise that strictly adheres to the Fibonacci ration. To exemplify the principles of motion, this brief paper describes the movements at example this study describes the flexion-extension complex of the index finger of the hand.
