Voorbeelden van metacarpophalangeal

• The human metacarpophalangeal joint is mapped to the proximal joint of the robot hand.

• The articulations are: interphalangeal articulations between phalangeal bones, and metacarpophalangeal joints connecting the phalanges to the metacarpal bones.

• Congenital clasped thumb describes an anomaly which is characterized by a fixed thumb into the palm at the metacarpophalangeal joint in one or both hands.

• Using splints will initiate flexion in the metacarpophalangeal joints while also allowing extensions and flexion in the interphalangeal joints, thus increasing range of motion.

• It is blended with the palmar metacarpophalangeal ligaments.

• The extensor digitorum is left unopposed and the metacarpophalangeal joints of digits 23 remain extended while attempting to make a fist.

• These articulations result in the formation of the metacarpophalangeal joints, which are colloquially referred to as the knuckles of a clenched fist.

• The middle digits, which support most of its weight, are extended at the metacarpophalangeal joints and bent at the interphalangeal joints.

• In rare cases, sesamoid bones have been found in all the metacarpophalangeal joints and all distal interphalangeal joints except that of the long finger.

• The muscle is inserted onto the radial sesamoid bone of the metacarpophalangeal joint.

• All three intrinsic groups of muscles pass palmar to the axis of the metacarpophalangeal joints and therefore contribute to flexion there.

• Exercises to strengthen lumbricals, strengthen flexion in the metacarpophalangeal joint, and extension in the interphalangeal joints are beneficial.

• The bone itself is located between the joints called the metacarpophalangeal joint and the carpometacarpal joint.

• Anatomically, it is said that the knuckles consist of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the finger.

• On either side of the head is a tubercle for the attachment of the collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint.
