biceps brachii
O: scapula A: elbow flexion, forearm supination N: musculocutaneous
Brachialis
O: distal half of humerus A: elbow flexion N: musculocutaneous
Pronator Teres
A: Pronate forearm / weak flexion of elbow O: medial condyloid ridge of humerus/ medial side of ulna N: Median Nerve
brachioradialis
O: epicondyle of humerus A: elbow flexion, supinates and pronates from the mid-position N: Radial
Supinator Muscle
A: supination of forearm O: lateral condyloid ridge of humerus/posterior part of ulna N: Radial Nerve
Pronator Quadratus
A: Pronate forearm O: Distal 1/4th of ulna N: Median Nerve
Triceps brachii
O: scapula A: elbow extension, a weak shoulder extensor N: radial
Anconeus Muscle
A : Elbow Extension O: posterior surface of the lateral condyle of the humerus N: Radial Nerve
Elbow Joint
articulation of humerus with the ulna and radius Hinge joint Only motions are flexion and extension The olecranon process which fits into the olecranon fossa of the humerus blocks hyperextension. Range of Motion: 0 -145 degrees.
Radioulnar Joint
Formed by the articulation between the radius and the ulna. They articulate both proximally and distally Pivot Joint Motions: Supination/Pronation The radius moves around the ulnar.
Palmaris Longus
wrist flexion innervated by median nerve 12% of the population is missing this muscle
Wrist Flexors
Flexor Carpi Radialis- med Flexor Carpi Ulnaris- uln Palmaris Longus- med All origin medial epicondyle of humerus
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
wrist flexion/ular deviation Innervated by the ulnar nerve
Flexor Carpi Radialis
wrist flexion/radial deviation Innervated by the median nerve
Wrist Extensors
Extensor carpi radialis longus Extensor carpi radialis brevis Extensor carpi ulnaris All are innervated by the radial nerve Origin of these muscles is the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
Intrinsic Muscles of the hand
Both the origin and insertion of these muscles are in the wrist/hand. These are small muscles that allow us to perform fine motor movements Thenar muscles Hypothenar muscles Adductor pollicis Interossei Lumbricales
The Thumb
referred to as digit #1 3 joints are : Carpo-metacarpal joint, CMC, metacarpal-phalangeal (MCP) joint and the the interphalangeal joint ( IP) joint
Muscles of Thumb Extension
Extensor pollicis brevis - (CMC and MCP) Radial Nerve Extensor pollicis longus – (CMC, MCP, IP Radial Nerve
Muscles of thumb Flexion
Flexor pollicis brevis-(CMC and MCP /Median Nerve Flexor pollicis longus- (CMC,MCP,IP) Med Nerve
