Extensor physiology in the hand and wrist
Hand Clin.
1995 Aug.
Abstract
The Physiology of finger extension is complex because of the various components of the extensor tendon mechanism. This article discusses the role each component plays in finger extension. Tendon excursion, strength, and electromyographic activity of the extensors are discussed.
