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 extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) has the most proximal origin of the extrinsic hand extensors. It originates just distal to the brachioradialis at the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus, the lateral intermuscular septum, and by a few fibers at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. [1]

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 bicep curl mainly targets the biceps brachii, brachialis and brachioradialis muscles. The biceps is stronger at elbow flexion when the forearm is supinated (palms turned upward) and weaker when the forearm is pronated. [1]
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.
The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow.It lies beneath the biceps brachii, and makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa (elbow pit).
