Pronator teres pronates the forearm, turning the hand posteriorly. If the elbow is flexed to a right angle, then pronator teres will turn the hand so that the palm faces inferiorly. It is assisted in this action by pronator quadratus. It also weakly flexes the elbow, or assists in flexion at the elbow when there is strong resistance.
Despite the bulk of the muscle body being visible from the anterior aspect of the forearm, the brachioradialis is a posterior compartment muscle and consequently is innervated by the radial nerve. [5] Of the muscles that receive innervation from the radial nerve, it is one of only four that receive input directly from the radial nerve.

lateral surface of olecranon, superior part of posterior ulna: deep artery of arm, interosseous recurrent artery: radial nerve (C7, C8, and T1) partly blended with triceps, extends forearm, stabilises elbow, abducts ulna during pronation: 2 1 pronator teres: Upper limb, Forearm, Anterior compartment, Superficial, Right/left
The muscles are largely involved with flexion and supination. [2] The superficial muscles have their origin on the common flexor tendon. [2] The ulnar nerve and artery are also contained within this compartment. [2] The flexor digitorum superficialis lies in between the other four muscles of the superficial group and the three muscles of the ...
Dorsiflexion of the foot: The muscles involved include those of the Anterior compartment of leg, specifically tibialis anterior muscle, extensor hallucis longus muscle, extensor digitorum longus muscle, and peroneus tertius. The range of motion for dorsiflexion indicated in the literature varies from 12.2 [8] to 18 [9] degrees. [10]
The common flexor tendon is a tendon that attaches to the medial epicondyle of the humerus (lower part of the bone of the upper arm that is near the elbow joint). It serves as the upper attachment point for the superficial muscles of the front of the forearm: Flexor carpi ulnaris [1] Palmaris longus; Flexor carpi radialis; Pronator teres
The inferior third of this border is raised into a slight ridge, the medial supracondylar ridge, which became very prominent below; it presents an anterior lip for the origins of the brachialis muscle and the pronator teres muscle, a posterior lip for the medial head of the triceps brachii muscle, and an intermediate ridge for the attachment of ...
