Claw Hand, Ape Hand, and the Sign of Benediction: Animated Review
Dr. Eric Laywell, Associate Professor at the Florida State University College of Medicine, discusses three hand deformities resulting from various injuries to the nerves of the forearm: Claw hand, ape hand, and the sign of benediction. These signs are easily confused as they have have similar clinical presentations and involve many of the same hand muscles. Dr. Laywell's narrated review, with animated muscles joints and tendons, clarifies the sites of injury and the mechanics behind the signs' presentations.

I also felt the same
Two years of school, 2 rotations in the field, a whole lot of reading and studying and this is the first time the difference between "ape" and "benediction" has truly been explained. "Aple" hand is the default resting position of median nerve dmg. "Benediction" occurs when a person attempts flexion of all the digits. Got it now, thank you! So simple yet never simple stated anywhere else.

This is the best video I have ever seen in my life explaining these complex issues so clearly...
This explained a confusing 50 min lecture in 8 minutes. Bless.
Hey, this was brilliant! Thanks so much for finding the logic in all of these injuries.
One of the most well-put-together anatomy videos/explanations I've ever seen. From start to finish everything was incredibly well explained with no room for misinterpretation.
This is incredible. I was quite overwhelmed by this info in PA school but this is crystal clear.
This is so freaking awesome, the fact that you reviewed the muscles and the joint made it so easy. Now I’ll never forget any of these clinical signs
