Q

What are the important landmarks of the distal humerus?

A
  1. Medial and lateral epicondyles
  2. Trochlea-articulates with trochlear notch of ulna(forms humeroulnar jt)
  3. Coronoid Fossa (accepts coronoid process of ulna during flexion)
  4. Olecranon Fossa (accepts olecranon proces during flexion)
  5. Capitulum (articulates with radial head)
  6. Lateral & Medial Condyloid Ridge

Q

Name the flexors of the Elbow

A

Biceps Brachii
Brachialis
Brachioradialis

17
Q

Biceps Brachii Long Head

A

O: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula (tendon comes up through the inter tubercular grove/bicipital groove)
I: radial tuberosity
A: Flexion at shoulder/elbow, supination at radioulnar joint
WR - barbell arm curls, preacher curls, hammer curls

18
Q

Brachialis

A

Only true pure flexor of elbow & lies beneath the biceps brachii.
O: distal half of the anterior aspect humerus.
I: coronoid process of the ulna
A: flexion at elbow
WR - Best worked with spider curls & reverse barbell curls

19
Q

Biceps Brachii Short Head

A

O: coracoid process of scapula
I: radial tuberosity
A: Flexion at elbow & supination at radioulnar joint
WR - Barbell arm curls, preacher curls, hammer curls

20
Q

Flexion at the elbow is definitely more forceful when the forearm is fully…

A

Supinated

21
Q

Brachioradialis

A

O: lateral condyloid ridge
I: styloid process of the distal radius
A: flexion at elbow; pronation/supination to a neutral position (thumbs forward)
WR - Hammer Curls

22
Q

What are the extensors of the elbow

A

Triceps Brachii

Anconeus

23
Q

Triceps Brachii Long Head

A

O: infraglenoid tubercle
I: Olecranon process
A: Exension at the elbow and extension/hyperextension at the shoulder
WR - Push downs, supine dumbbell triceps extensions, close grip bench press

24
Q

Triceps Brachii Lateral Head

A

O: superior half of the posterior humerus
I: olecranon process
A: extension at the elbow
WR - Push downs, supine dumbbell triceps extensions, close grip bench press

25
Q

Anconeus

A

O: Posterior surface of the lateral condyle of the humerus
I: olecranon process
A - Extension at the elbow; ALSO, pulls the synovial membrane of the elbow joint out of the way of the advantage olecranon process as extension occurs.
WR - Push downs, seated dumbbell triceps extension, close grip bench press

26
Q

Triceps Brachii Medial Head

A

O: Distal two thirds of the posterior humerus
I: Olecranon process
A: Extension at the elbow
WR - Push downs, supine dumbbell triceps extension, close grip bench press

27
Q

Muscles that act about the proximal Radioulnar Joint

A

Supinator, Pronator Teres, & Pronator Quadratus

28
Q

Supinator

A

O: Posterior aspect of the lateral condyloid ridge & neighboring part of the Ulna
I: Lateral side of the proximal third of the radius
A: Supinate forearm/Radioulnar Joint

29
Q

Pronator Teres

A

O: Medial aspect of the medial condyloid ridge & medial proximal ulna
I: Lateral aspect of the middle third of the Radius
A: Pronate the forearm/Radioulnar Joint & Some flexion of the elbow

30
Q

Pronator Quadratus

A

O: Anterior surface of the distal fourth of the Ulna
I: Anterior surface of the distal fourth of the Radius
A: Pronation of the forearm/Radioulnar Joint(especially when the elbow is extended)
