| Paralysis of what nerve leads to the "waiters tip" position | C5&6 |
| Why is it not possible to fully extend fingers without intrinsic digital muscles? | not possible to balance the torques at the MCP and IP joints with only the extrinsic digital muscles. |
| damage to the ulnar nerve at the wrist results in what | ring and little finger in the claw position (MCP is hyperextended and IP joint is flexed) wasting of hypothenar eminence and intercarpal spaces on dorsal side of hand. inability to abduct/adduct fingers, inability to fully extend ring and little finger |

| What innervates opponens pollicus? | motor recurrent branch of the median N |
| inability to extend the thumb indicates what damage? | damage to the posterior interosseus N causes paralysis of extensor pollicus longus and brevis |
| weakness in lateral rotation and elevation of the arm indicates what damage? | damage to the suprascapular n paralysis of infraspinatus and supraspinatus |
