R**********n 发帖数: 473 | 1 thumb has abduction, adduction, extension and opposition. What's the
difference between extension and abduction? I try to move my thumb, it seems
it has only 2 directions to go . And what's the Chinese for "oppositon"? I
can't find it in my dictionary. Thank you for your help! | l********z 发帖数: 810 | 2 opposition-对掌
extension-指伸
abduction-外展
adduction-内收
hope this can help | R**********n 发帖数: 473 | 3 Thanks addictmed and lingzMainz! I googled it and found limited source about
this: flextion and extention happen in the plane of the palm, while
adduction and abduction are movements perpendicular to the plane of the palm
. Opposition is the combination of flexion and abduction. |
