25
Q

Q

What is the action of palmar interosseous muscle? How to test for it?

Adduction of fingers
Put a piece of paper between adjacent fingers and ask the patient to squeeze them together with sufficient force to hold the paper.

30
Q

What is precision grip? What muscles?

A

Precision Grip where there is a change in position of object that is held (fine control of movements of digits) e.g. writing, buttoning shirt.
Long flexor & extensor muscles hold wrist joint and joints of digits, Intrinsic hand muscles control fine movements of digits: interossei, lumbricals, opponens pollicis, thenar muscles.

31
Q

Identify this nerve

A

Digital branch of median nerve

32
Q

Following an injury to the elbow region, a patient complains of a tingling sensation of the skin of the little finger. You suspect a nerve injury. Weakness of which movement(s) will confirm the most likely diagnosis?

A

Wrist flexion is weak & associated with radial deviation (flexor carpi radialis is unopposed).
Distal phalanges of little and ring fingers cannot be flexed (FDP). Unable to adduct the thumb.
Unable to adduct or abduct the fingers (interrosei).
‘Claw hand’ deformity: hyperextension of MP joints of ring & little
fingers & flexion of IP joints (medial 2 lumbricals).

What is power grip?

A

Power Grip: entire hand is used e.g. holding a hammer.
