The extensor digitorum is a special muscle in your arm. It's also called the extensor digitorum muscle. This muscle helps you straighten your fingers and move them away from your palm. Imagine when you open your hand wide or wave to someone, this muscle is working to make that happen!

So, the extensor digitorum is just the fancy name for the muscle that helps you open your hand and straighten your fingers.
