Palmaris Longus
Movie for broad-band (300kbps)
Patient position:
Sitting or supine, with the forearm in slightly
less than full supination, supported by the
table or examiner, with wrist in a neutral
position. The fingers cup the palm of the
hand and the wrist is flexed to tense the
palmar fascia.
Examiner pressure:
Against the thenar and hypothenar
eminences to flatten the palm of the hand,
and against the wrist into the direction of
extension.
Note: This muscle is absent in as much as
30% of the population. The tendon is easily
visible as it passes superficial to the flexor
retinaculum to attach into the palmar
aponeurosis.
Check on the radio button that best describes your test results. If the numeric grade is lower
