The pronator teres is a muscle (located mainly in the forearm) that, along with the Pronator quadratus muscle pronator quadratus, serves to pronate the forearm (turning it so that the palm faces posteriorly when from the anatomical position). It has two origins, at the medial humeral supracondylar ridge and the medial side of the coronoid ...
Pronator teres syndrome (also known as pronator syndrome) is compression of the median nerve between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle. [13] The Pronator teres test is an indication of the syndrome—the patient reports pain when attempting to pronate the forearm against resistance while extending the elbow simultaneously. The ...
Neurology. Pronator teres syndrome is a compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the elbow. It is rare compared to compression at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome) or isolated injury of the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve (anterior interosseous syndrome).

The flexor and pronator muscles of the forearm include the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, and flexor digitorum superficialis, all of which originate on the medial epicondyle and are innervated by the median nerve. [1] The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle also inserts on the medial epicondyle and is innervated by the ulnar ...
The anterior compartment of the forearm (or flexor compartment) [1] contains the following muscles: [2] 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]
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example). Its symptoms include pain, tingling ...
