A 90-second hand check

Three quick things in front of your camera: tap your finger and thumb, open and close your hand, and touch your thumb to each fingertip. Everything stays on your device — no video is saved.

It's a rough check to share with your clinician — not a diagnosis.

Before the camera starts

You'll be asked to allow camera access. The video feed never leaves your browser — only per-frame finger angles are used to count taps and cycles.

  • Sit at a desk or table with good lighting.
  • Hold your hand 30–50 cm from the camera, palm facing you.
  • If anything hurts, stop. Don't push for a higher score.

Confirm none of these are true right now:

  • Sudden new severe pain or swelling
  • Numbness, tingling, or color change in your hand
  • Recent surgery without your surgical team's clearance to move
