Fine motor skill (or dexterity) is the coordination of small muscles, in movements—usually involving the synchronisation of hands and fingers—with the eyes. The complex levels of manual dexterity that humans exhibit can be attributed to and demonstrated in tasks controlled by the nervous system. Fine motor skills aid in the growth of intelligence and develop continuously throughout the stages of human development.
Rapid use field tourniquet
ActiveUS8652164B1Prevents and minimizesPrevents and minimizes frictionDiagnosticsTourniquetsFine motor skillTourniquet time
The tourniquet is a lightweight, compact, and highly efficient device that can be used to assist in the control of life threatening extremity hemorrhage. The tourniquet utilizes a ratchet mechanism to obtain a mechanical advantage when tightening the tourniquet. A ratchet assembly is located a distance away from a strap end of the tourniquet and overlays a contiguous portion of the strap, allowing the tourniquet to be tightened while minimizing pinch, and further includes an elongated ratchet lever for ease of use, requiring minimal, if any, fine motor skills. The design also includes an indicator region for assistance in use of the device and a sealed and tapered strap-end with indicator for efficient use.

System and Method for Improving Fine Motor Skills
A system for improving fine motor skills includes a stylus. An electronic tablet detects a position of the stylus (or finger) when the stylus is near a surface of the electronic tablet. A process defines and draws tolerance band on the electronic tablet. The tolerance band may be defined by a visual marker. The process may define a starting position and an end position within the tolerance band. The system includes an auto challenge module that determines if the user is ready to advance to a more difficult lesson. The system also includes an auditory association module that plays a sound associated with the shape. The system includes a foreign language module that teaches the user how to correctly write a foreign language. Finally, there is an analysis module that provides both instantaneous feedback and show the progress of the user over time.

Learning/Play Quilt for development of toddlers' fine motor skills (dexterity): zipping, tying, buttoning, lacing, snapping, hooking, use of Velcro, buckling, and identification of numbers, letters, words and containing pockets for storing small toys in addition to being used as a blanket
The Learning / Play Quilt or Denim / Learning Play Quilt is a compilation of components of children's clothing sewn together to facilitate development or practice of fine motor skills (dexterity) such as zipping, buttoning, lacing, tying, snapping, hooking, use of Velcro, and buckling. The quilt format provides an extensive selection of fine motor skills not found in other formats such as books, vests, dolls and mats, and, at the same time, provides utilitarian uses as a cover for the child in a car seat or stroller. It also features pockets for storage of small toys and treasures. The components of children's clothing also expose children to numbers, letters and words while the embroidery thereon creates a product that is attractive and, therefore, promotes the child's interest in learning. The recommended lap quilt size predisposes its use to places where supervision is more readily available then if used on a bed. This is not only a safety feature but one in which more peer and adult interaction can occur.

An individual's fine-motor skills can be assessed using a force-feedback haptic unit that includes an end-effecter and programmable settings. To assess these skills, a tangible computer readable medium initializes the programmable settings with a set of initial settings. It then presents a 3-D representation of a character or characters to a user. The user in turn is prompted to mimic the character(s) on a work space. While the user is attempting to mimic the character(s) using the end-effecter on the work space, timed stroke data are collected from the force-feedback haptic unit. Using the timed stroke data, an analysis is then generated to determine the user's precision and accuracy of mimicking the character.
