Combined flexor and extensor release for activation of voluntary movement of the fingers in patients with cerebral palsy
1990
Twenty deformed hands of 19 Japanese patients with cerebral palsy were treated with release of the flexor digitorum profundus, the flexor digitorum sublimis, and the extensor digitorum communis. The results were satisfactory and included enhanced daily activities, voluntary grasp, and release of the fingers. Simultaneous cocontraction of the multiarticular muscles inhibits voluntary movement of the fingers and causes rigidity and involuntary movements
