Q

General innervation trend of the posterior forearm

A

All innervated by Radial nerve and its branches

Brachialis and ECRL = Radial
Supinator and ECRB = Deep Radial
All others = Posterior interosseous nerve

** remember Deep radial becomes the posterior interosseous after it comes through the supinator
