wrist/ hand Flashcards
wrist joint (4)
- compound/ complex (radial/ ulnar disc)
2 components: - radiocarpal- distal end of R/RU disc articulating with proximal row of carpals (except pisiform)
- midcarpal
- biaxial: flext/extend (x) 80-90’/ 70-80’ radial/ ulnar deviation (z) 25’/35’
movement analysis: fully flexed -> extension (3)
- midcarpal- full flexed -> neutral
- distal carpals (plus scaphoid):neutral -> 45’ they are moving on proximal row and distal radius
- radiocarpal- 45’ -> full extension
ulnar deviation analysis of movement (and plane) (3)
1. scaphoid movement (saggital plane) extends carpals movement (frontal): 2. distal row -> ulnarly 3. proximal row -> radialy
wrist ligaments (8)
dorsal:
1. radiolunate
2. radiotriquietrium
these two only stabilize RC joint
palmar:
3. radiotriquietrium
4. radiocapitate
5. ulnocapitate
these three stabilize Mid carpal and RC joint
6. ulnolunatecollateral
7. radiocollateral (to scaphoid)
8. ulnarcollateral (triquetrium, pisiform, 5th MC)
primary wrist flexors (7)
- FCR
- FCU
- plamaris longus
(all are shunt muscles for elbow) - FDP
- FDS
- FPL
- AbPL
these 4 are extrinsic finger flexors
primary wrist extensors (7)
- ECRL
- ECRB
- ECU
shunt muscles for elbow - ED
- EI (extensor indicies)
- EDM
- EPL
these 4 are extrinsic finger extensors
primary radial deviators (7)
- EPL
- EPB
- AbPL
- FPL
- FCR
- ECRB
- ECRL
primary ulnar deviators (3)
- FCU
- ECU
- EDM
CMC joints and functional movement(4)
- distal carpals with MC- all work on corresponding MC #
- function of MC is to orientate hand around object (cupping and uncupping)
- function of MC 1 is opposition
- 1st (thumb) is most mobile, then #5, 4 and 2/3 are not very mobile
CMC 2nd -> 5th cupping muscles (4)
cupping = flexion
- FCU
- FCR
- FDP
- FDS
CMC 2nd -> 5th uncupping muscles (4)
uncupping = extension
- ECU
- ECRB
- ED
- ECRL
MCP joint (type of movement and ROM) (6)
- knuckles
- proximal phalanges (concave) move on 3. convex heads of MC ==> translatory and rotary movement is in the same direction
- 2nd -> 5th MCP joint- biaxial
flexion/ ab/duction with third finger as reference point for ab/duction
normal ROM - flex/ extend 90-110’/ 45-60’
- ab/duction 20’
- 1st MCP = hinge (uniaxial)
PIP and DIPs (type of movement and ROM) (5)
1. uniaxial (hinge) ROM - PIP 2. 100-130' (digit 5 moves less than digit 2) 3. concave moving on convex ROM - DIP 4. flex/extend 80-90'/ 10' 5. thumb: flex/ extend 80/10'
hand flexor muscles (digits 2-5) (4)
extrinsic- forearm flexors
1. FDP- MCP flexor/ IP extensor (inn ulnar and median nerve)
intrinsic:
2. 4 lumbricals (don’t attach to bone)
3. 4 dorsal interossei (abduct in neutral wrist)
4. 3 palmar interossei (adduct in neutral wrist)
hand extensor muscles (digits 2-5) (3)
extrinsic: 1. extensor digitorum (codependent with lumbricals and interossei intrinsic: 2. lumbricals 3. interossei (flexors and extensors)
