What is Aductor Pollicis?
ADUCTOR Pollicis is a muscles in the hand that participates in the movement of the thumb. Specifically, the muscles are used in the Aduction of the thumb, which is movement towards the palm plane. ADUCTOR Pollicis consists of two separate heads that cooperate but have a different origin. These are known as oblique and cross heads.
Due to the two heads that make up the Aductor Pollicis, there are two different origins for the muscles. The transverse head has its origin on the third metacarpal bone, located in the hand. On the other hand, the oblique muscle head comes through several different small pieces of tissue that connect to several metacarpals and capital bones. Capital is a small bone found in the wrist.
different muscle heads have different shapes and locations. For example, the transverse head of the muscle is located deeper in your hand. It also has a triangular shape than an oblique head.
before insertion, different muscle heads are joined and connected to several places. One of them is Ulnar Sesamoid, which is a bone in the thumb. Both heads also attachThey take the proximal phalanx - the first bones of the thumb on the joint. Muscle innervation is through Ulnar nerve.
The primary effect of the muscle is the adction of the thumb, but it also participates in moving the thumb towards the index finger. Aduction occurs when the thumb is brought back to the palm of your hand, usually when it has already been kidnapped from this level. Although the muscles help to attract the thumb to harmonize with the index finger, this happens in conjunction with other hand muscles.
different hand muscles cooperate to achieve movement. The two muscles with which Aductor Pollicis works with are Aductor Pollicis Longus and Aductor Pollicis Brevis. The victim muscles are specifically involved in the motion of the thumb.
If there is a problem with ADUCTOR Pollicis, the test known as a sign from the company from the company is used to check the problem with the nerve attached. To perform this test, the patient has a thin object with forefinger and thumb and attempts to hold while he orbitkt towed. A healthy aductor Pollicis will allow the patient to maintain adhesion while the nerve problem will make it more difficult.
