Ring or little finger limited motion

Because any limitation of motion of the ring or little finger is rated at 0%, the main role of medical evidence here is to document that a service-connected limitation of motion exists and to establish which hand is your major (dominant) hand and which is your minor (nondominant) hand.

Useful evidence includes range-of-motion measurements from a physician or VA examination showing the degrees of flexion and extension at the metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints. Normal ranges under the rating schedule are zero to 90 degrees of flexion at the metacarpophalangeal joint, zero to 100 degrees at the proximal interphalangeal joint, and zero to 70 or 80 degrees at the distal interphalangeal joint. If other fingers on the same hand are also affected, records documenting each finger's motion or ankylosis become relevant because those digits may be evaluated separately and combined.
