Evaluation of Flexor Digitorum Superficialis-Small Function: A Novel Dynamic Assessment Technique in Professional Music Performance
Absence of FDS-small does not impair, and may even enhance, fine motor performance in pianists. For string musicians, FDS-small status does not influence technique. These findings may contribute to evaluating the risk versus benefits of FDS-small surgical repair and have implications for instrument selection and pedagogy.
