Study Notes
Anatomy of the Forearm and Hand Muscles
- Continuous and forceful movements cause inflammation of the medial epicondyle, leading to pain on the medial side of the elbow
- Deep muscles of the forearm include abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis longus, which cause abduction and extension of the thumb
- Extensor digitorum muscle extends the 2nd-5th phalanges, while extensor carpi ulnaris causes extension and adduction of the hand
- Anconeus muscle helps in the extension of the forearm and is stimulated by the radial nerve
- Supinator muscle is responsible for external rotation of the radius and works with the biceps brachii in strong or fast supination
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is caused by repetitive use of the extensor muscles of the forearm or vigorous supination-pronation movements
- Carpal tunnel syndrome results from compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, leading to pain and weakening of the tenar muscles' function
- Tenar muscles, stimulated by the median nerve, include abductor pollicis brevis, adductor pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis, and opponens pollicis
- Hypothenar muscles, stimulated by the ulnar nerve, include abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi, and opponens digiti minimi
- The deep layer flexor muscles include adductor pollicis, abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, and opponens pollicis
- Extensor indicis muscle assists in the extension of the index finger and hand
- Anatomical snuffbox, located on the back of the hand, is defined by the tendons of extensor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis and the retinaculum musculorum extensorum
