In reply to PeteH:
If the ring finger is the strongest why is this the most commonly injured?
In a small survey of the people at work, this was not the strongest, the middle finger was the strongest for all of us. I guess it depends on how you measure strength, we were using a grip dynomometer (sp?).
With no equipment, I suppose you could push one finger from your left hand against a different finger from your right hand and gauge which 'feels' stronger. Using this not hugely scientific method my middle finger is definitely the strongest, though followed fairly closely by my index. Significantly weaker is my ring finger and ten my pathetically weak little finger.
