finger control
Fine motor skill
Finger control is the ability to move individual fingers precisely and independently, essential for playing musical instruments, typing, or performing delicate manual tasks.
Musicians practice scales and exercises to develop finger control: Her finger control on the violin improved after months of practice.
The term also appears in contexts requiring fine motor skills, from surgery to video gaming.
