Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:16

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

3.0K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

6.5K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Handwashing II: Pre-procedure and Initial Procedure Steps

1.6K
The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury.  The nails must be short and clean, without nail...

Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

4.4K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.3K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Hand Dominance and Common Hand Conditions.

    Summary

    Common hand disorders affect dominant and non-dominant hands equally, except for lateral epicondylitis. Dominant hand involvement slightly worsens function scores, with women experiencing higher disability than men.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Hand Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal Disorders

    Background:

    • Hand dominance is a key factor in daily activities.
    • Understanding its impact on common hand disorders is crucial for patient care.
    • Previous research has not fully elucidated the relationship between hand dominance and functional outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the frequency of hand dominance in patients presenting with common hand disorders.
    • To evaluate the influence of hand dominance on functional outcomes (DASH scores) in these patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 1029 patients with unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), de Quervain's tenosynovitis (DEQ), lateral epicondylitis (LE), hand osteoarthritis (OA), or trigger finger (TF).
    • Analysis of hand dominance and its correlation with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores.

  • Comparison of DASH scores based on diagnosis, hand dominance, and sex.

    • Main Results:

    • CTS, DEQ, OA, and TF affected dominant and non-dominant hands equally (45%-53%).
    • Lateral epicondylitis (LE) showed a higher incidence of dominant hand involvement.
    • Dominant hand involvement led to a slight increase in DASH scores (3.2 points overall).
    • Men reported lower DASH scores than women (7.9 points difference).
    • Specific subgroups (men with LE, women with TF and OA) showed significantly higher DASH scores when the dominant hand was affected.

    Conclusions:

    • Most common hand disorders affect dominant and non-dominant hands with similar frequency, with LE being an exception.
    • Dominant hand involvement correlates with a small but significant increase in functional disability.
    • Women generally experience greater functional disability from these hand conditions compared to men.
