27 wrz 2024 · Intrinsic muscles – located within the hand itself. They are responsible for the fine motor functions of the hand. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand – their attachments, actions and innervation.
Purpose: The objective of the present review is to assemble the recognized anatomical variations, classifications, and clinical evidence with regard to innervation of the hand and discuss the clinical significance of these variations.
Median nerve—normal anatomy. The median nerve enters the hand through the carpal tun-nel. Usually, the Palmar Cutaneous Branch of the median nerve (PCBM) branches off just prior to the carpal tunnel [15]. After exiting the carpal tunnel the median nerve divides into medial and lateral branches.
13 lis 2023 · The nerves of the hand and wrist originate from the structure called the brachial plexus which is located proximally in the root of the neck and axillary region. This plexus is formed from the combination of the anterior rami of the spinal nerves C5-T1 and is responsible for motor and sensory innervation of the upper limb.
19 lip 2017 · The objective of the present review is to assemble the recognized anatomical variations, classifications, and clinical evidence with regard to innervation of the hand and discuss the clinical significance of these variations.
4 paź 2024 · Motor Functions. The ulnar nerve innervates muscles in the anterior compartment of the forearm, and in the hand. Anterior Forearm. In the anterior forearm, the muscular branch of the ulnar nerve supplies two muscles: Flexor carpi ulnaris – flexes and adducts the hand at the wrist.
The RCA is a motor anastomosis, and facilitates the Ulnar nerve innervation of the thenar muscles [9, 11, 25, 69, 70]. It has a reported prevalence of 19 – 77% [2, 28, 57, 70]. Yang et al recently noted an incidence of bilateral RCAs in 31% of dissected hands, and a unilateral RCA in 38%.
