30
Wrist extension arthrokinematics
Anterior slide, posterior roll
31
Wrist flexion arthrokinematics
Posterior slide, anterior roll
32
Ulnar deviation arthrokinematics

34
Primary wrist extensors
Extensor carpi radialis longus Extensor carpi radialis brevis Extensor carpi ulnaris
35
What two actions do long. Finger flexor create?
Finger flexion and wrist flexion-- counteracted by extensors which cause wrist extension in grip (ECRB, etc)
36
How much wrist extension occurs in maximal effort grip?
30 degrees of extension.
37
Primary wrist flexors
Flexor carpi ulnaris Flexor carpi radialis Palmaris longus

Radial
41
Ulnar deviators are innervated by which nerve(s)?
Median and ulnar nerves
42
First metacarpal rotated
90 degrees medially--required orientation for prehension
43
First metacarpal positoned anterior, allows
Thumb to position itself at fingers for prehension.
44
Transverse arches of the hand
Proximal | Distal
45
What is the proximal transverse arch formed by?
Distal row of carpal bones
46
What is the keystone of the proximal transverse arch?
Capitate
47

2/3
52
Which cmc joints are mobile
4/5 | -look at when you make a fist-- four and five flex much more than 2/3.
53
Why is the first cmc joint capsule loose?
Allows movement-- reinforced by musculature/ligaments
