Saludos and Happy Holydays, beside the injuries related to other affairs,the main reason for injury individuals fingers is not keeping them together when playing,(something which I have observed many times in percussionists).When the fingers are together, the impact of the stroke is shared by all of them at the same time,but when they are separate, each finger is receiving in dividual impact with each/strokes,so the weak one is going to suffer.Also what about the diet which fortify the ligaments,muscles and bones like,Calcium,Potasium,Magnesium,Iron,etc.Dr. Zaragemca
