from lateral to medial mention the superficial group of flexors
Pronator teres.
Flexor carpi radialis.
Palmaris longus.
Flexor carpi ulnaris.
flexor muscles arise from
medial epicondyle
extensor muscles arise from
lateral epicondyle
a flexor muscle that does not cross wrist joint
pronator teres
action of pronator teres
pronation of forearm especially during flexion of elbow joint.
action of flexor carpi radials
Flexes and abducts hand at the wrist joint
action of palmaris longus
flexion of the hand at wrist joint.
action of flexor carpi ulnaris
flexion and adduction of the hand at wrist joint
action of Flexor digitorum superficialis
lexion of MP and proximal IP joints of
medial 4 fingers.
Helps of flexion of wrist joint.
innervation of superficial & intermediate groups
median nerve
nerve that innervates flexor carpi ulnaris
ulnar nerve
lateral 1/2 of FDP is innervated by
ant. inter-osseous nerve
middle 1/2 of FDP is innervated by
ulnar nerve
action of FDP
Flexion of MP, proximal IP & distal IP (all)
joints of medial 4 fingers.
Helps in flexion of wrist joint
action of flexor pollicis longus
lexion of MP and IP (all)
joints of the thumb.
action of pronator quadratus
Pronation of forearm at radioulnar joints.
Thickened band of deep fascia bridges over the carpal groove
FLEXOR RETINACULUM
thickened band of deep fascia bridges over the carpal groove transforming it into
carpal tunnel.
FLEXOR RETINACULUM medial attachments
pisiform and hook of hamate.
FLEXOR RETINACULUM lateral attachments
scaphoid and trapezium.
