A feature of the elbow (wrist joint), which is the most mobile joint in the human body, is that the thumb moves not only with the other fingers, but also with the entire hand. As a result, pressure arises on the muscles, ligaments, and nerves, which in this place are located very close to each other and can undergo compression if any disturbance occurs.

Statistically, most people pay attention to the position of the index finger in relation to the middle finger (or
