Full transcript
- 0:00hello everyone this is my fifth video on
- 0:02motor system examination today i am
- 0:05going to tell you how to assess the
- 0:07muscle power of hand and fingers muscle
- 0:11in first four video i have already
- 0:13covered how to assess the posture bulk
- 0:16and the tone and the muscle power of the
- 0:18neck
- 0:20shoulder elbow and the wrist movement
- 0:23for assessment of hand and fingers
- 0:26muscle power we have to perform the
- 0:28movements at the finger as a flexion
- 0:31extension adduction abduction
- 0:34of the fingers
- 0:35and a position of little finger
- 0:38so first is flexion of finger
- 0:40in this flexion at the
- 0:42metacarpophalanges joint
- 0:44proximal and the distal interphalanges
- 0:47joint should be assessed
- 0:49for assessment of flexion of finger we
- 0:51have to keep the forearm supinated palma
- 0:55position and the finger should be
- 0:57extended
- 0:58and we will tell the child to flex the
- 1:01finger at metacarpal phalanges proximal
- 1:04interphalanges and the distal
- 1:05interphalanges joint and for against
- 1:08resistance we will keep our finger over
- 1:11the joint
- 1:12so the muscle for the
- 1:14flexion at the distal interphalanges
- 1:16joint by the fdp muscle flexor digitorum
- 1:20profundus
- 1:21and there are two heads of fdp
- 1:25radial head and ulnar head now supply to
- 1:28the radial head is by
- 1:30anti-atrocious branch of the median now
- 1:32and ulnar head of the fdp by the ulnar
- 1:35now
- 1:36now the flexion at the proximal
- 1:38interphalanges joint of the finger by
- 1:41the fds muscle flexor digitorum
- 1:43superficialis
- 1:45it also flexes the mcp joint
- 1:48metacarpophalanges joint ultimately it
- 1:51helps in flexion at the wrist also it is
- 1:54supplied by the main trunk of the media
- 1:56now ca to t1
- 1:58now the flexion at the
- 2:00metacarpophallenges joined by the intros
- 2:02i and lumbricans
- 2:04which is supplied by the ca to t1 deep
- 2:07palmer branch of ulnar
- 2:09also we have to tell the child to make
- 2:11the fist
- 2:13whenever child will make a fist there
- 2:15will be flexion of finger at the
- 2:17metacarpal phalanges and interphalangeal
- 2:19joint
- 2:20also thumb flexion to grasp the finger
- 2:23and slight wrist extensor also work
- 2:26whenever child will make the fist
- 2:29now the extension of finger for this we
- 2:32will keep the forearm of the child
- 2:34pronated and hand should be out
- 2:37stretched and
- 2:39we will keep our hand over the finger
- 2:42to push it downward and we will tell the
- 2:44child to resist the finger flexion at
- 2:47the
- 2:48metacarpophalanges joint so the muscle
- 2:51for the extension of fingers are
- 2:54edc
- 2:56eip and edm
- 2:58edc extensor digitorum communist it
- 3:02extend the mcp joint
- 3:04eip extensor indices proprious it
- 3:08extends the index finger and edm
- 3:11extensor digiti minimi
- 3:13it extends the little finger
- 3:16and
- 3:17all these three nouns are supplied by
- 3:20the posterior atrocious branch of radial
- 3:23now
- 3:23c7 to c8
- 3:26and intro shy and lumbricans extend the
- 3:29interphalanges joint both proximal and
- 3:32distal interphalangeas joint
- 3:34now for the adduction of finger we will
- 3:37tell the child to bring the finger
- 3:39tightly together or we will give the
- 3:41paper to the child to hold it between
- 3:44two finger and the muscle for the
- 3:45adduction are volar or palmar intrusion
- 3:49now for the abduction of finger
- 3:52first we will tell the child to split
- 3:54the finger apart
- 3:55and for the against resistance we will
- 3:58give the adduction force
- 4:00and child will try to
- 4:02abduct the fingers
- 4:04and the muscle for the abduction are
- 4:06dorsal intrusion except for the little
- 4:08finger for which the muscle is abductor
- 4:11digitized minima
- 4:13now for the opposition of little finger
- 4:16we will tell the patient to move
- 4:19the extended little finger toward the
- 4:21thumb and the muscle for the opposition
- 4:23of little finger is
- 4:25opponents digitize minimize supplied by
- 4:28the ulna now ca2 t1
- 4:31so this is the way to assess the muscle
- 4:33power of hand and fingers in next video
- 4:36i will explain how to assess the muscle
- 4:38power of thumb muscle
- 4:40thank you so much
