Can You Bend Your Pinkie Without Bending Your Ring Finger?

[eplebnista]

No

 

[AreaCode707]

I can touch the palm of my hand with my ring finger joints straight but the ring finger leaning a bit at an angle. If I move my pinky about a quarter inch from my palm, my ring finger is perfectly straight up from my hand.

I can't bend my pinky past 90 degrees even with the ring finger.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Only with my left hand, and only if I keep the fingers shut instead of spread out.

 

[Aquaman]

Yes but only 90 degrees

Cheers,

Yes, years of playing piano have helped improve my finger/hand flexibility.

i can bend it 90 degrees without moving my ring finger. after 90 degrees, my ring finger bends too.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Right hand yes, all the way. Left hand just a little bit, with great struggle.

edit: seems like some people can while some can't. Do you think it's something you are born with, or can you train yourself?

easy

 

[sswingle]

Nope

Left hand van move the (whole pinky) pinky to touch the palm without thinking about it and moving the ringvinger a mm.
Right hand can move it up to 130 degrees with some thought.

I am righthanded BTW 😕

It uses the same main muscle, so most people can't.

**EDIT**
Oops not muscle ligament.

Yes... I didn't used to be able to do it, but I've gained a lot of dexterity working with playing cards over the years.

 

[JujuFish]

Har. I didn't think I could, so I voted no. Turns out I can. 😱
