📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot
You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:
- Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
- The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
- The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.
Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.
Finger Extension (PIP)
Proximal Interphalangeal Joints • Hand • sagittal plane
Straightening the fingers at the proximal interphalangeal joints.
Axis: medial-lateral
Normal Range of Motion
Normal PIP extension is return to the 0-degree neutral position; hyperextension beyond 0 is not considered a normal component of active PIP motion in AAOS/Norkin & White norms, though a few degrees of passive hyperextension can occur in lax individuals.
