Summary Introduction
To review:
The prime functions of flexor and extensor retinacula of the wrist and ankle.
Introduction:
The hand is composed of intrinsic along with the extrinsic muscles where the intrinsic ones are located in the hand and the extrinsic ones arise in the forearm and enter the hand. Extrinsic muscles facilitate the movements of the hand and intrinsic muscles are responsible for the fine movements of the fingers and hand.

During her initial visit with the physical therapist, Mrs. Tanner presented with significant "foot drop" (the inability to dorsiflex the foot when taking a step). Mrs. Tanner was asked to perform a variety of movements with her right lower extremity. The therapist focused her attention on the prime movers and synergists of the hip, knee, and ankle. What are "prime movers" and "synergists"? Explain your answer.
what happens when the wrist is in flexion while wiggling the fingers?
Is the biceps brachii an extensor or a flexor?
