1. Introduction

I am not going to describe all the anatomy of the hand because it has a lot of names that describe each of the bones and muscles. I think that the key elements to understand are the muscles, ligaments and joints because understanding them allow the analogy with a mechanical system. Just what i was looking to comprehend.

So, i am linking the following videos that depict with detail the anatomy of the hand, the kinematics of the hand and the finger movement anatomy.

Video 1. Hand Anatomy

Video 2. Flexor Tendon Anatomy

Video 3. Wrist Joint Movements

Video 4. In case you still wonder

how the fingers move
