What Is Dupuytren's Contracture?

6. Diagnosing Dupuytren’s
Dupuytren’s contracture is thankfully relatively easy to diagnose. A medical professional will be able to take a look at your hand and feel to see if there is any scar tissue. They can also check to see whether the fingers are being forced to curl up.
Your doctor will also likely perform tests to see how strong your grip is, and how much the movement of your fingers is restricted. Another common test is that they will ask you to put your hand on the table, palm down, and try and see if you can hold your hand out flat.
