This question is a bit vague to answer. Often bishops raise their hand in blessing. Bishops may also offer their hand that the faithful may reverence the ring they wear which is a symbol of their position as a prince of the Church. The reverence made by the faithful here is a demonstration of faith towards the Church hierarchy, specifcally the bishop's office, not to the man himself. Perhaps it would be worth submitting a question that is a bit more precise in its wording if the above answers have not addressed your query.

If asking about the deformity seen in an ulnar nerve palsy, it is a wasting of the hypothenar, interossei and 2 medial lumbrical muscles in the hand. (causes flexion of the 4th and 5th digits) (magee) all from the ulnar nerve being impinged or damaged. ^__^

Do you kiss the ring of the archbishop?

Do I? No. I am Russian Orthodox, and our Bishops do not wear rings. When we ask the Bishop's blessing, we lay our right hand (open hand, palm up) over our left hand, and gold them in front of our chest area; the Bishop will make the Sign of the Cross over us, then lay his right hand on our hands, at which time we kiss his hand. Roman Catholics kiss the ring of the Bishop-any Bishop, "arch" or not...and, of course, the Pope and Cardinals...who are, after all, Bishops too.
