The extensor thumb (musculus extensor digiti minimi) is a muscle that is located on the inside of the hand. It is responsible for extending the thumb, which is the longest finger on the hand. The extensor pollicis muscle also assists in the extension of other fingers, such as the index and middle fingers.

The extensor pollicis muscle is one of the most important muscles for performing various tasks such as writing, drawing, working with tools, etc. If this muscle is damaged or weakened, it can lead to hand dysfunction and other problems.

To strengthen the extensor pollicis muscle, you can use various exercises, such as finger extension in a fist and finger extension from a fist. You can also use special exercise machines and equipment to train this muscle. It is important to remember that muscle strengthening should not be the only way to treat hand conditions.
