Bunnell method
The Bunnell method is a simple technique used by healthcare professionals to measure the flexibility of the finger's tendons, specifically the flexor tendons that help you bend your fingers. It involves using a ruler to measure how much a finger can be bent and then comparing that to the finger’s straight position. This helps doctors assess whether the tendons are functioning properly or if there’s stiffness or injury. The method provides an objective way to monitor finger movement and guide treatment or rehabilitation plans.
