Q

Which muscles are involved in upper limb abduction?

A

0-15 degrees of abduction is supraspinatus.
15-90 degrees middle fibres of the deltoid
Past 90 degrees, the scapula needs to be rotated to achieve abduction – trapezius and serratus anterior.

Q

Why would an injury to the median or ulnar nerves at the wrist not impair sensation to the palm of the hand but would to the fingers?

A

Cutaneous branches that supply the palm arise in the forearm
The branches that supply the palmar aspect of the corresponding fingers would be impaired as these branches come from distal to wrist
