The E-flat hand
1Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Scotland.
Abstract:
The disability suffered by a professional pianist because of difficulty in carrying out certain of the finger movement sequences involved in playing in the key of E flat appeared to be caused by limitation of independent flexion movements between the index and long fingers of his right hand. The range of independent movement of the fingers was considerably increased, with relief of his disability, by dividing the intertendinous connection between the extensor tendons of the two fingers on the dorsum of the hand.

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 radialis,...
