If you are sitting on a chair with the book open on the desk in front of you, very few

muscles are required to turn the page. First the arm is extended slightly to push the forearm and hand along the edge of the

book. Th is can be accomplished with the anterior portion of the deltoid muscle. The hand is then slightly supinated by means of the supinator muscle. Th e thumb and index finger are then fl exed to grasp the page to be turned. Th is movement involves the fl exor pollicis brevis and fl exor digitorum superfi cialis to the index fi nger (the flexor digitorum profundus may also be involved).

Th e page is then turned by extending the fingers (extensor digitorum), pronating the hand (pronator quadratus and pronator teres), and medially rotating the arm (pectoralis major, teres major, latissimus dorsi).

Why power steering is used?

From what I understand, power steering in cars (vehicles) is simply to make steering the car easier. If it were not for power steering, you would have to use a lot more muscle to turn the steering wheel than you use when you have that power steering in place!
