brachialPlexus in the hand: 3 thenar muscles associated with thumb, 2 lateral lumbrical muscles associated with movement of index and middle fingers, skin over palmar surface of lateral 3 and 1/2 digits and over lateral side of palm and middle of wrist. innervation: intrinsic mucles of hand (except three thenar and 2 lateral lumbrical muscles), flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, medial half of flexor digitorum profundus muscle, skin of palmar surface of little finger, medial half of ring finger, palm and wrists, skin of dorsal surface of medial part of hand. innervation of median nerve: branches innervate most muscles of the anterior compartment of the forearm (except for flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and medial half of flexor digitorum profundus muscle). eliu.freeshell.org /bookkeeper/brachialPlexus.html

hands The intrisic muscles of the hand are divided into three groups: (1) the thumb or thenar muscles, (2) the little finger or the hypothenar muscles, and (3) the lumbrical muscles. With the lumbrical muscles are the long flexor tendons, which are the extrinsic muscles of the hand. The muscles which accomplish this feat are stronger than you might imagine, for the biomechanics of the hand require that the force generated by the muscles which bend the fingertips must be at least www.arch.mcgill.ca /prof/sijpkes/arch374/winter2001/pham/stucture.htm

Hand Article, Hand Information The Intrinsic muscle groups are the thenar and hypothenar muscles (thenarreferring to the thumb, hypothenar to the little finger), the interosseus muscles (between the metacarpal bones, four dorsallyand three volarly) and the lumbrical muscles. Thetendons unite with the interosseous and lumbrical muscles to form the extensorhood mechanism. These muscles arise from the deep flexor (and are special because they have no bonyorigin) and insert on the dorsal extensor hood mechanism. www.anoca.org /bones/muscles/hand.html

Lumbrical muscle The lumbrical muscles of the index and middle finger are innervated by the median nerve. The lumbrical muscles are intrinsic muscles in the fingers that allow flexion at the metacarpophalangeal joints, while maintaining extension at the interphalangeal joints. This muscles are unusual in that they do not attach to bone, instead attaching proximally to the tendons of flexor digitorum profundus and distally to extensor expansions on the dorsal surface (back of) the hand. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/l/lu/lumbrical_muscle.html

Thenar eminence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The innervation of these muscles by the median nerve is unusual, as most of the intrinsic muscles on the palm of the hand are supplied by the ulnar nerve. The three muscles in this location are usually innervated by the median nerve, and they all control movement of the thumb. Another muscle that controls movement of the thumb is adductor pollicis. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Thenar_eminence

Forearm Flexors Lumbrical muscles (four small worm-like, intrinsic muscles of the hand) originate from the four profundus (FDP) tendons. people.musc.edu /~bacrotr/anatomy/Forearm-flex/forearm-flexf-04_files/slide0195.htm

Lumbrical Muscles The lumbrical muscles are four small, fleshy muscles that are associated with tendons between the four small toes of the foot and the four fingers of the hand. Each lumbrical muscle flexes the corresponding digital joint to extend the finger or toe in question. www.innerbody.com /text/musc17.html

Palm of the Hand is motor to the flexor muscles of the forearm (except flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial 1/2 of the flexor digitorum profundus),the muscles of the thenar compartment and the lateral 2 lumbricals lumbricals, (lumbricus is Latin for "worm") arise from the profundus tendons and have the same pattern of innervation as does the profundus muscle (ulnar and median nn. is motor to most of the muscles of the hand anatomy.uams.edu /AnatomyHTML/palm.html

Anatomical Variations Rarely may be interrupted by an additional muscle belly on back of hand. Muscle belly may be central, distal or digastric (proximal and distal muscle belly connected by a central tendon) in position. Lumbricals alter the balance between flexors and extensors and are important proprioceptors. www.musicandhealth.co.uk /differences.html

The Foot These muscles have gross functions rather than delicate individual functions like those in the hand. These broad thin muscles form a fleshy mass on the lateral part of the dorsum of the foot, anterior to the lateral malleolus, which can be seen in most feet and felt in all of them. The muscles, nerves and vessels may be described according to these compartments, but the muscles are usually described by layers. www.geocities.com /medinotes/foot.htm

Architectural design of the human intrinsic hand muscles - Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics Intrinsic muscle lengths were relatively similar to one another, which we interpreted as representing a space constraint within the hand. However, several specialized architectural designs were observed: lumbrical muscles had an extremely high fiber length/muscle length ratio, implying a design toward high excursion.

intrinsic muscles - definition from Biology-Online.org For example, the interossei and lumbrical muscles are intrinsic muscles of the hand. Muscles fully contained (origin, belly, and insertion) within the structure under consideration. www.biology-online.org /dictionary/intrinsic_muscles

Anatomic Predisposition to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome showed that in a patient with repetitive hand motions, the lumbrical muscles had hypertrophied and compressed the median nerve. The lumbrical muscles usually originate from the radial sides of the tendons of the flexor digitorum profundus at the level of the metacarpals, which is distal to the carpal tunnel. The surrounding palmar fascial aponeurosis (with possible aberrant muscle attachments and its connections with the flexor retinaculum that overly the carpal tunnel, and the antibrachial fascia over the flexor digitorum superficialis) represent areas where fascial release, friction massage and, most recently, Graston technique has0 shown to be beneficial in the treatment of CTS. www.chiroweb.com /archives/20/03/09.html

GAlab07(UL5)PC.doc Identify the lumbrical muscles and reflect the flexor digitorum profundus distally to observe the branches of the ulnar nerve to the third and fourth lumbrical muscles. It is useful to remember that almost all of the intrinsic muscles of the hand on the ulnar side of long flexor tendon of the thumb are innervated by the ulnar nerve. Be sure that you understand the function of the lumbrical muscles and how their paralysis affects the movements and position of the fingers. medweb.pc.edu /students/med2002/carlisl1/Resources/Limbs/GAlab07(UL5)PC.doc

Median Nerve In the hand it supplies the thenar muscles, and two lumbrical muscles. The median nerve supplies the muscles of the volar forearm except two, the flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar half of the flexor digitorum profundus. At one year after nerve repair there is good thumb opposition and function of the intrinsic muscles. microsurgeon.org /median_nerve.htm
