elbow area Flashcards
What are the three joints in the elbow area
Elbow joint
Superior Radioulnar Joint
Inferior Radioulnar Joint
What happens in elbow full extension
Olecranon process fully fits in olecranon fossa
As elbow flexes what happens
bony stability unlocks and allows for side to side laxity
Elbow moves from 0 degrees of extension to blank degrees of flexion
145 to 150
Elbow Joint muscles are blank attachment at scapula and humerus
Distal attachment at ulna and blank
proximal
radius
Radioulnar joint muscles proximal attatcment at scapula,humerus, and blank
blank attachment on radius
ulna
distal
The anterior muscles that are correlated with primarily flexion and pronation are
biceps brachii
brachialis
brachioradialis
pronator teres
pronator quadratus
The posterior muscles that are correlated with extension and supination are
triceps brachii
anconeus
supinator
the biceps brachii muscle concentric actions are (2 actions)
flexion of elbow
supination of forearm
The brachialis muscle concentric actions are (1 action)
true flexion of elbow
The brachioradialis muscle concentric actions are (3 actions)
flexion of elbow
pronation from supinated position to neutral
supination from pronated position to neutral
The triceps brachii muscle concentric action is (1 action)
all heads:extension of elbow
The anconeus muscle concentric actions are (1 action)
extension of elbow
The pronator teres muscles concentric actions are ( 2 actions)
pronation of forearm
weak flexion of elbow
The pronator quadratus muscle concentric actions are (1 action)
pronation of forearm
