The brachioradialis is a muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow. [1] [2] It is also capable of both pronation and supination, depending on the position of the forearm. [2] It is attached to the distal styloid process of the radius by way of the brachioradialis tendon, and to the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus.
The mobile wad (or mobile wad of Henry) is a group of the following three muscles found in the lateral compartment of the forearm: [1]. brachioradialis; extensor carpi radialis brevis
The brachioradialis, flexor of the elbow, is unusual in that it is located in the posterior compartment, but it is actually a muscle of flexor / anterior compartment of the forearm. The anconeus , assisting in extension of the elbow joint, is by some considered part of the posterior compartment of the arm.
Close grip EZ barbell curl. Typically, a bicep curl begins with the arm fully extended with a supinated (palms facing up) grip on a weight. A full repetition consists of bending or "curling" the elbow until it is fully flexed, then slowly lowering the weight to the starting position.
The forearm is the region of the upper limb between the elbow and the wrist. [1] The term forearm is used in anatomy to distinguish it from the arm, a word which is used to describe the entire appendage of the upper limb, but which in anatomy, technically, means only the region of the upper arm, whereas the lower "arm" is called the forearm.
The brachioradialis reflex (also known as supinator reflex) is observed during a neurological exam by striking the brachioradialis tendon (at its insertion at the base of the wrist into the radial styloid process (radial side of wrist around 4 inches (102 mm) proximal to base of thumb)) directly with a reflex hammer when the patient's arm is relaxing.
The medial muscular branches supply the medial head of the triceps brachii.. That to the medial head is a long, slender filament, which lies close to the ulnar nerve as far as the lower third of the arm, and is therefore frequently spoken of as the ulnar collateral nerve.
The radial nerve passes underneath the brachioradialis muscle where it divides into deep and superficial branches. It is not always considered part of the cubital fossa but is in the vicinity. [1] The biceps brachii tendon; The brachial artery.
