Q

How is the adductor pollcicis muscle tested?

A
  • asking the patient to adduct the thumb against resistance
  • This is done by having the patient place the thumb in a fully abducted position (at right angles to the supinated palm, sticking straight up in the air) and then by providing resistance as the patient tries to move the thumb back into an adducted position (flat in the palm just lateral to the index finger).

A

inserts on the palmar surface of the body of the 5th metacarpal

20
Q

What is the action of Opponens digiti minimi muscle?

A
  • Abducts
  • Flexes
  • Laterally rotates 5th metacarpal, enhancing cupping of hand, increasing power of grip and opposing the little finger to the thumb
21
Q

What is the innervation of Opponens digiti minimi muscle?

A

Deep branch of ulnar nerve (C8 and T1)

22
Q

is the Opponens digiti minimi muscle part of the hypothenar muscles?

A
  • The opponens digiti minimi muscle is 1 of the 3 muscles that make up the hypothenar muscles, which constitute the intrinsic muscles of the little finger.
  • All of these muscles are innervated by deep branches of the ulnar nerve and supplied by deep branches of the ulnar artery.
23
Q

How do you test the Opponens digiti minimi muscle?

A

To clinically test opposition, have the patient touch the tips of the thumb and little finger together and then, with a finger on the patient’s thenar and hypothenar eminence, try to pull the opposed fingers apart to test the strength of the opponens muscles

24
Q

Where do the lumbrical muscles 1 and 2 arise from?

A

2 lateral tendons of the flexor digitorum profundus

25
Q

Where do the lumbrical muscles 3 and 4 arise from?

A

3 medial tendons of flexor digitorum profundus

26
Q

What is the insertion of lumbrical muscles?

A

Attach to the lateral sides of the extensor expansions of digits 2 through 5 (index finger to little finger)

27
Q

What is the action of the lumbrical muscles?

A

Flex the metacarpophalangeal joints and extend the interphalangeal joints

28
Q

What are lumbricals 1 and 2 innervated by?

A

median nerve (C8 and T1)

29
Q

What are lumbricals 3 and 4 innervated by?

A

deep branch of ulnar nerve (C8 and T1)

30
Q

What might the lumbricals prevent?

A
  • Because of the way the lumbricals pass by the proximal interphalangeal joint, they prevent the extensor digitorum from hyperextending the joint.
  • The lumbrical muscles may exhibit considerable variation in their attachments.
31
Q

How do you test the lumbricals?

A

The lumbricals can be tested clinically by having the patient flex the 4 medial metacarpophalangeal joints against resistance while keeping the interphalangeal joints extended

32
Q

Where do the 4 dorsal interosseous muscles origin?

A
  • The 4 dorsal interosseous muscles are bipennate.

- They arise by 2 heads from adjacent sides of the metacarpal bones.

33
Q

Where do 4 dorsal interosseous muscles insert?

A

-Each interosseous muscle inserts into the base of the proximal phalanx and into the aponeurosis that forms the extensor expansion of digits 2 through 4.

34
Q

What is the action of the 4 dorsal interosseous muscles?

A
  • Abducts the fingers from an imaginary longitudinal line through the middle finger (arrows).
  • Also, the dorsal interossei flex the fingers at the metacarpophalangeal joints and aid in extension of the 2 distal phalanges at the interphalangeal joints.
35
Q

What is the innervation of the 4 dorsal interosseous muscles?

A

Deep palmar branch of the ulnar nerve (C8 and T1)

36
Q

What is good about the 1st dorsal interosseous muscle?

A
  1. The 1st dorsal interosseous is the largest. It fills the space between the metacarpal bones of the thumb and index finger and is sometimes referred to as the “pinch” muscle. 2. The 1st dorsal interosseous also is used with the adductor pollicis muscle during a precision grip
37
Q

How do you test the 4 dorsal interosseous muscles?

A

The dorsal interossei are clinically tested by holding the adducted extended fingers together and asking the patient to spread the fingers (abduct them) against this resistance

38
Q

Where do the 3 palmar interossei muscles arise?

A

-The 3 palmar interossei muscles arise from the palmar surfaces of the metacarpal bones of digits 2, 4, and 5.

39
Q

Where do the 3 palmar interossei muscles insert?

A

Tendons of the palmar interossei insert into the extensor expansions of the digits and bases of the proximal phalanges of digits 2, 4, and 5

40
Q

What is the action of the 3 palmar interossei muscles?

A
  1. The palmar interossei adduct the fingers at the metacarpophalangeal joint, moving them toward an imaginary line through the axis of the middle finger (arrows).
    2/ They also assist in flexing the proximal phalanx at the metacarpophalangeal joint and aid in extension of the 2 distal phalanges at the interphalangeal joints.
41
Q

What is the innervation of the 3 palmar interossei muscles?

A
  • Deep branch of the ulnar nerve (C8 and T1)

- The 3 unipennate palmar interossei are smaller than the 4 dorsal interossei

42
Q

How do you test the plamar interossei?

A
  • asking the patient to hold a sheet of paper between 2 adjacent adducted fingers
  • As the patient holds the paper, the examiner tries to pull the paper away
  • With weakened adduction, the patient will have difficulty holding the sheet of paper between the fingers.
43
Q

What do the muscles at the base of the thumb compose?

A

-Thenar cone or eminence

44
Q

What do the intrinsic muscles at the base of the 5th digit make up?

A

Intrinsic muscles at the base of the 5th digit make up the hypothenar eminence

45
Q

What abduct and adduct?

A
  1. The palmar interosseous muscles adduct the middle 3 fingers, whereas the dorsal interosseous muscles abduct the middle 3 fingers.
  2. Together, the interossei also flex the metacarpophalangeal joint and, because of their insertion into the extensor expansion, extend the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.
46
Q

Why is the palm susceptible to infection?

A
  • Several potential spaces exist in the palm and can become sites of infection.
  • The thenar space exists just anterior to the adductor pollicis muscle.
  • The midpalmar space exists posterior (deep) to the central compartment that contains the long flexor tendons and lumbrical muscles.
