Cards

Term
Wrist flexion
Definition
Bending of the wrist, or anterior movement in the sagittal plane so the anterior surfaces of the hand and forearm come together
Term
Wrist extension
Definition
Posterior movement in the sagittal plane so the anterior surfaces of the hand and forearm move apart
Term
Wrist Radial Deviation
Definition
When the hand moves laterally from anatomical position toward the radius (abduction)
Term
Wrist Ulnar Deviation
Definition
When the hand moves medially from anatomical position toward the ulna (adduction)
Term
Proximal Row of Carpals
Definition

Lateral (thumb)--> Medial (Pinky)

Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform

Term
Distal Row of Carpals
Definition

Lateral (thumb)--> Medial (pinky

Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate

Term
Names of finger bones from wrist --> fingertips
Definition

Metacarpals, proximal phalanges, middle phalanges, and distal phalanges

(note: thumb has no middle phalanx)

Term
Joints of the hand from the wrist bones--> fingertips
Definition
CMC, MCP, PIP, DIP--- for the thumb CMC, MCP, IP
Term
Wrist Muscle Origins
Definition

Flexors: Medial epicondyle

Extensors: Lateral epicondyle

Term
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus OIA
Definition

O: Lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus

I: Base of the 2nd metacarpal

A: Wrist Extension, Radial Deviation

(Called "Longus" because it reaches above the lateral condyle to the supracondylar ridge)

Term
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis OIA
Definition

O: Lateral epicondyle humerus via common extensor tendon

I: Base of the 3rd metacarpal

A: Wrist extension, some also say it contributes to radial deviation

Term
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris OIA
Definition

O: Lateral epicondyle humerus via common extensor tendon

I:Base of the 5th metacarpal

A: Wrist extension, ulnar deviation

Term
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris OIA
Definition

O: Medial epicondyle of humerus via common flexor tendon

I: Base of 5th metacarpal, pisiform, and hook of hamate

A: Wrist flexion, ulnar deviation

Term
Palmaris Longus OIA
Definition

O: Medial epicondyle humerus via common flexor tendon

I: Palmar fascia of anterior carpals

A: Assists wrist flexion

Term
Flexor Carpi Radialis OIA
Definition

O: Medial epicondyl humerus via common flexor tendon

I: Base of 2nd and 3rd metacarpals

A: Wrist flexion, radial deviation

Term
Carpal Bone Pneumonic
Definition
