Great video. However, when it comes to Thumb ABduction, you have to specify *RADIAL ABDUCTION* (which you did not show at all) from *PALMAR ABDUCTION* (which you showed). The radial abduction is in the same plane as the abduction of the other four fingers and also the same plane as abducting the entire arm away from the body.
@@sachinchauhan5853 when talking about the thumb, radial abduction looks a lot like extension but the joints involved are different. Radial abduction occurs closer to the wrist/radius. It occurs at the carpometacarpal joint. Extension on the other hand refers to unfolding your thumb if it was tucked under the other fingers. It occurs farther from the wrist/radius. It occurs at the interphalangial joints and the metacarpophalangeal joint. I hope I haven't lost you.
You should note that opposition is generally done with a straight thumb coming across to a straight finger. Thumb pad meeting finger pad is the full form of opposition; thumb tip to finger tip is a structural/functionally weaker version of the same. Forgive me for being so bold!
If you adduct to the point where the thumb moves away from the palmar plane in the dorsal direction, is it still adduction? (At least I’d think you are using the adductor muscle?)
Whats the deal with thumbs? Everyones thumb is different, some bend back some go straight. But as i get older i feel like i can utilize less muscles in my hand, and that larger ones are taking over the smaller ones, like theres two ways i can move. One way thats gonna tie me up, one way thats gonna let everything move free. It must have something to do with your heart and circulation. I feel like somethings changed since i went from a teen to 22. Like im not growing, like im slowly receding
Depends what you read. According to AM4 moving the thumb laterally away from the hand is radial abduction and moving the thumb towards the palm is adduction. Also if you adduct the hip or shoulder, you are moving it away from the body not in front of the body. So really I am totally confused right now.
Is there a name for the movement of an opposition type movement, (flexing at the base of the thumb), then extending the thumb back at the metacarpalpharangeal joint, and flexing at the IP? That’s how I hold my pen.
All the above mentioned movements are with respect to the Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb! What ur saying is flexion of the Interphalyngeal joint of the thumb. Both are different movements at different joints.

Your comment has solved 6years of confusion. Palomar abduction and radial abduction makes sense
I just came to learn this difference thank you so much
Radial Abduction: coronal plane
Palmar Abduction: sagittal plane
Radial abduction and extension are same or i am confused?

I'm a DPT student who still gets very confused on this sometimes. Thank you for the clear and concise video!!
So helpful. Beautifully explained. Better than any book I`ve read. Thank you!
I think you could add that opposition is a combination movement including abduction at the MC joint and flexion of the MCP and IP joint
Exactly what I need!!! Thank you!!!!
wwae
THANK YOU!!! I had trouble with ABD/ADD, but you made it clear
Thank you very much, this was very helpful!
Thank u!! It’s not in my textbook ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos are suuuper helpful! Thank you! :)
Straight to the point, clear and life saving❤
Got messed up before flex,ext and abd,add.Wan quite helpful
شكرا لك على المعلومات القيمة ❤️
Thank you sir 🙏.... love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you explaining clearly
short and sweet. thanks
You saved my life for CNA stateboard exam tomorrow.Thank you so much friend!!
Very instructive .thanks is helping me
Very helpful. Adding for ADduction is a brilliant way I can remember now. Thank you
So helpful, thank you!
Thank you!!
الله يوفقك شكرًا لان مترجم الى العربي
Thank you 💗
Kudos!Good work....
You should also add reposition in there if possible
Great video!!!!!!!!!!
Just cleared my First MBBS lecture ✅

This is of course spoken from the point of view of a pianist and what is useful at the keyboard.
Thanks ❤❤
great vid!

Yes
I like your thumb nail, so cute.

Lol 😆 🤣
Is there a name for the movement of an opposition type movement, (flexing at the base of the thumb), then extending the thumb back at the metacarpalpharangeal joint, and flexing at the IP? That’s how I hold my pen.
Is it normal that both hands of my mcp joint of the thumb doesn’t bend at all? (Born this way btw)
lol... doctors complicate everything for medical students.... thanks for telling us what are these "movements" lol
Hi! If your thumb is in opposition, is it also in flexion?
hyperflexion maybe?
All the above mentioned movements are with respect to the Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb! What ur saying is flexion of the Interphalyngeal joint of the thumb. Both are different movements at different joints.
It's flexion and medial rotation
No
Flexion at MCP Joint + Medial rotation at CMC joint
Tyyy kingggg😘❤️
great video kind sir ...
don't suppose you'd include the nerves ass. w/ the said functions (as it pertains to the thumb)
Great
Does thumb adduct on frontal plate?
The best
isnt then extension of thumb same as abbduction?
Helpfull vedio
What about extension?
You missed compilation which is like opposition but to the base of the pinky
Poli🔥

Thaannkkkkssss
I can’t oppose my thumb to my pinky wtf I had carpal tunnel surgery in 95 and lost lots of range of motion . Anybody other have the same issue ?
Are the actions coming from the MCP joint?
Lucy Last it is cmc joint that does the abduction/adduction and opposition/retropostion. Mcp only does flexion/extension
I dont have MP joint and hence I am not able to flex
I just remember that the movements, aside from opposition are in the opposite plane of digits 2-5....
Abduction part still confusing. not very clear
How about when the thumb stays in the plane of the hand, but moves laterally like that : ✋
Extension 😊
great video, but the shown opposition is actually incorrect as the opposition is only movement of the I. metacarpal to the V. metacarpal :)
😍👏🏻👏🏻
thanks future me
lol i have a anatomy test tmrw and im lost
Good luck
Useless
These get tricky sometimes, now they’re clear thanks 🙏🏻🩷
Thanks!
Thank you
Thanks
