Study Notes

Finger Motion and Tests

Major substitution for flexor digitorum superficialis motion is flexor digitorum profundus.
In the DIP test, Grade 3 instructs the patient to actively flex the DIP joint.
In Grade 1 of the DIP test, the forearm is in a neutral position.
Extensor digitorum communis and extensor indicis proprius are prime movers for FINGER MP EXTENSION ROM.
A 'tenodesis' action in the context of finger motion refers to the flexion of the fingers when the wrist is extended.
Flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis are prime movers for finger MP flexion.
The range of motion (ROM) for finger PIP flexion is 100-110 degrees.
Intrinsic muscles (interossei and lumbricales) may substitute for the lumbricales during finger MP flexion.
A grade of 5 is given when a patient completes full range of motion in a gravity-eliminated position for finger flexion.
In the PIP test, the patient is instructed to actively flex the PIP joint while the examiner resists the movement.
