  2. Muscles of the thumb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_thumb

    The muscle is inserted onto the radial sesamoid bone of the metacarpophalangeal joint. It acts to flex, adduct, and abduct the thumb, and is therefore also able to oppose the thumb. The superficial head is innervated by the median nerve, while the deep head is innervated by the ulnar nerve (C8-T1). [6]

  3. Muscles of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hand

    The radial nerve innervates the finger extensors and the thumb abductor; that is, the muscles that extend at the wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints (knuckles) and abduct and extend the thumb. The median nerve innervates the flexors of the wrist and digits, the abductors and opponens of the thumb, the first and second lumbricals. The ulnar ...

    The EDM has a similar role for the little finger. The ECU inserts at the base of the 5th metacarpal to extend and adduct the wrist. The APL inserts into the radial side of the base of the first metacarpal bone to abduct the thumb at the carpometacarpal joint and may continue to abduct the wrist.

    From the top position, the participant lowers their body until the arms and shoulders are fully extended. [1] The end range of motion at the top end may be chin over bar or higher, such as chest to bar. [2] Pull-ups are a closed-chain, compound movement involving flexion at the elbow and adduction or extension of the shoulder joint.

  6. Froment sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froment_sign

    Froment sign is the flexion of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb rather than adduction of the entire thumb. Note that the flexor pollicis longus is nearly always innervated by the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve. Simultaneous hyperextension of the thumb MCP joint is indicative of ulnar nerve compromise. This is also known ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_interossei_of_the_hand

    In human anatomy, the dorsal interossei (DI) are four muscles in the back of the hand that act to abduct (spread) the index, middle, and ring fingers away from the hand's midline (ray of middle finger) and assist in flexion at the metacarpophalangeal joints and extension at the interphalangeal joints of the index, middle and ring fingers.

    Adduction is a motion that pulls a structure or part towards the midline of the body, or towards the midline of a limb, carried out by one or more adductor muscles. In the case of fingers and toes, it is bringing the digits together, towards the centerline of the hand or foot.
