Estoy traduciendo unos informes médicos de un niño de 6 meses de edad que tiene mano hendida.
"Mano izquierda: duplicación del pulgar con ausencia de los dedos medio y anular más hendidura central de la mano. Se evidencia en miembros inferiores dentro de los límites normales. En ambos miembros superiores e inferiores, se evidencian **dedos móviles**, sensibilidad conservada, fuerza muscular: 5/5."
Hasta ahora tengo:
"Left hand: Thumb duplication, middle and ring fingers missing, central cleft hand. Lower limbs within normal limits. In both upper and lower limbs, there is evidence of moving fingers, normal sensation and muscle strength of 5/5."
Pensaría que "mobile fingers", pero al buscar la expresión solo encuentro información sobre teléfonos celulares y no referencias médicas. Se me ocurre "infant is able to move fingers".
Un millón de gracias nuevamente

Moveable/movable fingers
Por lo que he visto en Oxford collocations y varios resultados en Google, se suele hablar movement y moveable/movable, pero también de "mobile fingers", en efecto. Comparando, veo que son términos básicamente sinónimos.
Sin embargo, tu opción me parece perfectamente válida también.

Example sentence:
"The range of movement of each finger differed significantly from those of the others (P < 0-01 in each case), the little finger being the most mobile".

You're right, Liz. As Cecilia, I was focusing on the hands only. Silly me. So the original English text would be wrong then by not mentioning toes as well. I'd say then a proper translation would be "mobile digits".

mobile fingers
En realidad no se habla mucho de la mobilidad de los dedos, sino más bien de la funcionalidad de la mano.
Pero "mobile fingers" es mucho más adecuado que "moveable".
Algunos ejemplos:
Mild symbrachydactyly: The hand has slightly short, mobile fingers with minor webbing. The hand bones and some of the finger bones and the thumb are present.
https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/condit...
The most difficult problem is the index ray, which lies in a "no man's land" between the central cleft and the mobile thumb.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20138711/
It is important that the repositioned index ray not interfere with gripping and precision maneuvers between the mobile thumb and the ulnar two digits (ring and small) of the hand.

True, but I was concentrating on "cleft hand" descriptions and my point was the use of "mobile". Rodrigo seems to have made the same mistake. Funny you gave him a neutral and me a disagree.

: Agreed. I actually made a mistake with my own proposed answer. I think "moveable digits" is also an acceptable option.
