Q

Arches of the hand

A

When relaxed – the palm assumes a cupped position. There are 3 arches responsible for this.
Proximal carpal arch ,distal carpal arch and the longitudinal arch. – These arches contribute to the various grasps of the hand.

Q

Carpo-metacarpal Joint ( CMC)

A

The distal row of the carpals articulate with the proximal metacarpal
helps shape hand
No motion at 2nd and 3rd CMC
Motion at the 4th and 5th CMC joints allow cupping of the hand and tight grip
Provides more stability than mobility
