[Electrophysiological study of the variations in innervation of the hand muscles].
An electrophysiological study was carried out searching for variations in the innervation of the muscles of the hand. For this purpose a simple and non time-consuming technique was designed for stimulating the ulnar and median nerves at the elbow and wrist. Recordings were performed with surface electrodes at the abductor pollicis brevis, adductor digiti minimi and first dorsal interosseus muscles. Several anomalous innervation patterns of the intrinsic muscles of the hand were found, and the innervation of the first dorsal interosseus by the median nerve was the most frequent.
