  2. Muscles of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hand

    The muscles of the hand are innervated by the radial, median, and ulnar nerves. 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.

  3. Flexor digitorum profundus muscle - Wikipedia

    Thus, the flexor muscle is used to aid the lumbrical muscles in their role as extensors of the interphalangeal joints. As the lumbrical muscles originate on the palmar side of the hand and attach on the dorsal aponeurosis, power is transferred from the flexor digitorum profundus muscle to fully extend the fingers as well as flex the ...

  4. Extrinsic extensor muscles of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrinsic_extensor_muscles...

    The extrinsic extensor muscles of the hand are located in the back of the forearm and have long tendons connecting them to bones in the hand, where they exert their action. Extrinsic denotes their location outside the hand. Extensor denotes their action which is to extend, or open flat, joints in the hand.

    Problems with the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, or joints can also have an effect on fine motor skills, and can decrease control. If an infant or child up to age five is not developing their fine motor skills, they will show signs of difficulty controlling their hands, fingers, and face.

    [6]: 123 Inversion occurs at the subtalar joint and transverse tarsal joint. [7] Eversion of the foot occurs at the subtalar joint. The muscles involved in this include fibularis longus and fibularis brevis, which are innervated by the superficial fibular nerve. Some sources also state that the fibularis tertius everts. [6]: 108

  7. Extensor digitorum muscle - Wikipedia

    It tends to separate the fingers as it extends them. In the fingers, the extensor digitorum acts principally on the proximal phalanges, acting to extend the metacarpophalangeal joint. Extension of the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints, however, is mediated predominantly by the dorsal and palmar interossei and lumbricals of the hand.

  8. Lumbricals of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbricals_of_the_hand

    The lumbricals are intrinsic muscles of the hand that flex the metacarpophalangeal joints, [1] and extend the interphalangeal joints. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The lumbrical muscles of the foot also have a similar action, though they are of less clinical concern.

  9. Palmar interossei muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_interossei_muscles

    The palmar interosseous muscles adduct the fingers towards the middle finger. This is in contrast to the dorsal interossei, which abduct the fingers away from the middle finger. In addition (like dorsal interossei) they flex the finger at the metacarpo-phalangeal joint and extend the finger at the interphalangeal joint and thus assist the ...
