Abductor Digiti Minimi
The Abductor Digiti Minimi is a small muscle located in the hand, specifically in the hypothenar region. Its primary function is to facilitate the movement of the little finger, allowing it to move away from the other fingers. This muscle plays a crucial role in grip and hand dexterity.
In addition to its role in finger movement, the Abductor Digiti Minimi is also important for maintaining the overall balance of the hand. It works in conjunction with other muscles in the hand, such as the Flexor Digiti Minimi and Opponens Digiti Minimi, to support various hand functions and activities.
