?????????
The muscles that are considered to be the agonists of phalangeal flexion include flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus, and flexor pollicis longus.
T
The only muscle involved in extending all of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the four fingers is the extensor digitorum.
T
The ulnar nerve branching from C8 and T1 provides sensation to the ulnar side of hand, the ulnar one-half of ring finger, and the entire little finger.
T
Ulnar flexion is movement of little finger side of hand toward medial aspect or ulnar side of the forearm
T
The flexor pollicis longus may be palpated on the posterior surface of the thumb.
F- replace posterior with anterior
Muscles that are considered to be wrist extensors include the extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and extensor carpi radialis.
F-replace extensor carpi radialis with extensor carpi ulnaris
The flexor pollicis longus is located lateral with respect to flexor digitorum profundus.
T
All of the wrist and hand muscles are innervated from the radial and median nerves of the brachial plexus.
F- and ulnar nerves
The median nerve and all of the flexor tendons except for the flexor carpi ulnaris pass through the carpal tunnel.
F- flexor carpi ulnaris & palmaris longus
There are eleven muscles that are considered to be "intrinsic" to the hand.
F- replace 11 with 18
The flexor digitorum superficialis performs its action in the frontal plane.
F- replace frontal with sagittal
Hitting the funny bone is actually a contusion to the humeral nerve.
F- replace humeral with ulnar
Radial flexion is movement of the thumb side of hand toward medial aspect or radial side of forearm.
F- replace medial with lateral
"Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" is swelling and inflammation from increased pressure in carpal tunnel that results in decreased function of the median nerve.
T
All of the wrist flexor muscles generally have their origins located on the anteromedial aspect of the proximal forearm and the medial epicondyle of humerus.
T
Each finger has three interphalangeal joints while the thumb is has only two.
T
Motions of the finger metacarpophalangeal joints include flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
T
Motions of the wrist joint include flexion, extension, abduction and adduction
T
Muscles that are considered to be wrist flexors include the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and palmaris longus.
T
Normally, the wrist has more adduction range of motion than abduction range of motion.
T
Opposition is movement of the thumb across palmar aspect to oppose any or all of the phalanges.
T
The extensor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi ulnaris are the prime movers in ulnar deviation.
T
The extensor digiti minimi is innervated by the radial nerve (C6, 7, 8).
