Preventive therapy is recommended to preserve the function of the fingers. This may include physical exercise, stretching, proper bodily function and myofascial release (massage, foam roller). Exercises are focused on the forearm muscles, such as the extensor carpi<unk> is; extensor digitorum to antagonize the flexion of the fingers. Massaging the forearm muscles also alleviates the tightness that occurs with muscles exertion. Stretching allows the muscles more flexibility, decreasing interference with the innervations of the<unk>  nerve to the fingers. The so-called "Hand of Benediction" is caused by median nerve lesions. The hand will show hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) from the unopposed extensor digitorum as well as weakened extension and flexion of the Interphalangeal (IP) joints of the 2nd and 3rd digits (index and middle) due to deficits in the radial lumbricals and lateral half of the flexor digitorum profundus. The pathogenesis is similar to that of<unk> ing (loss of the relevant lumbricals and the flexor digitorum profundus along with unopposed action of forearm extensors), and a median<unk>  hand will appear similar to an<unk>  when the patient with a median<unk>  is asked to make a fist. The following signs may be used to clinically distinguish median nerve<unk> ing from<unk>  nerve<unk> ing.<unk>  nerve Median nerve Deficit is primarily in 4th and 5th fingers Deficit is primarily in 2nd and 3rd fingers. Deficit is most prominent at rest and when the patient is asked to extend his fingers. Deficit is most prominent when the patient is asked to make a fist. Often accompanied by inability to abduct or adduct the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th finger. Often accompanied by difficulty opposing the thumb. Often accompanied by apparent atrophy of the first dorsal interosseous muscle of the hand Often accompanied by wasting of muscles of the thenar eminence Dupuytren's contracture Dupuytren's contracture is a deformity of the hand due to thickening and fibrosis of the palmar aponeurosis and eventual contracture of the 4th and 5th digits. Presenting as a small hard nodule in the base of the ring finger, it tends to affect the ring and little finger as puckering and adherence of the palmar aponeurosis to the skin. Eventually the MCP and IP joints of the 4th and 5th digits become permanently flexed. This<unk>  appearance can be distinguished from an<unk>  in that the MCP is flexed in Dupuytren's but hyperextended in<unk>  nerve injuries. Klumpke paralysis A<unk>  hand can result of injuries to the inferior brachial plexus (C8 - T1). The condition may arise from the limb being suddenly pulled upward. For example, Klumpke paralysis can occur from excessive pulling of the infant's forelimb during parturition.
