What does VOLAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicaltechnical
Describing the palm side of the hand or forearm, or the corresponding sole side of the foot, as distinct from the back or dorsal surface.
Volar is an anatomical term doctors and therapists use for the front, palm-facing surface of the hand and forearm, distinguishing it from the dorsal, or back-facing, surface. The same word applies to the sole of the foot, marking the underside as opposed to the top. Because the term avoids ordinary words like front or back, which can be ambiguous once a limb is rotated, it lets clinicians describe a location precisely during an examination or a surgical note.
