Study Notes
Upper Limb Anatomy
- The subclavian artery supplies blood to the right arm.
Muscles of the Upper Limb
- The extensor muscles originate from the lateral epicondyle.
- The flexor muscles originate from the medial epicondyle.
Carpal Bones
- The distal row of carpal bones consists of the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate bones.
- The scaphoid bone is not part of the proximal row of carpal bones.
Blood Supply to the Hand and Wrist
- The radial and ulnar arteries are the main suppliers of blood to the hand and wrist.
Sensory Receptors
- Meissner's corpuscles are responsible for detecting vibration in the hand.
Nerve Assessment
- The two-point discrimination test is typically used for nerve laceration and recovery.
Fractures
- A mallet finger fracture involves avulsion of the terminal tendon and is splinted in full extension for 6 weeks.
Outcome Measurement
- The DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) questionnaire is used to measure outcomes before and after therapy.
