The lumbrical muscles of the hand originate from the flexor digitorum profundus tendons and insert onto the lateral band of the extensor tendons. Owing to these movable attachments, the function of this muscle is difficult to visualize. To better determine the function of this muscle, we considered its relative anatomy, biomechanical characteristics, and evolution. With the smallest physiological...
