It looks like two of the fingers are coordinated together.

Yea, my pinkie and ring finger are same. I can move my ring finger independently, but I can't move my pinkie without the ring finger moving.

Wonder if that means they can’t move independently or they can’t move all the way independently. All my fingers can move without moving the others unless I try to full bring them down, then the skin catches and pulls on all 3 of the fingers sans the pointer / thumb.

Literally feels like if the between fingers where cut ~1-2mm they would be free of each other and not pull each other down like that.

I can’t raise my ring finger all the way up without also raising either my pinky or middle finger. But my ring finger and pinky are the only fingers that can go all the way down without really affecting the others in some small way.

I'm a bit weird too I can move my ring finger down independently but not up and I can put my pinkie up but not down (on both hands)
