The ability to move your elbow is called elbow flexion, and it's key to many daily activities like feeding yourself, brushing your hair, driving, and many more.
While the biceps brachii and the brachialis muscles are the main flexors of the elbow joint, the brachioradialis muscle is also involved in flexion of the forearm at this joint. Brachioradialis originates for the lateral aspect of the distal humerus above the lateral epicondyle.
What are the benefits of elbow exercises? Why physiotherapy is important for elbow pain: Precautions before beginning an exercise plan: Best Exercises for Elbow Pain: Wrist extension.

Elbow flexion. Patient is sitting with their humerus in a neutral position. An alternative patient position is supine; Fixate the humerus with one hand and grasp the forearm distally with your other hand; Passively flex the elbow; Assess end feel; Normal range of motion is 135 degrees; Elbow extension. Patient is sitting with their humerus in a ...
The orientation of the bones forming the elbow joint produces a hinge type synovial joint, which allows for extension and flexion of the forearm: Extension – triceps brachii and anconeus; Flexion – brachialis, biceps brachii, brachioradialis
Muscles are soft tissue made of stretchy fibers. They tense up (flex) to pull and move parts of your body. Muscles attached to your arm bones help move your elbow. Muscles that control flexion let you flex your lower arm in, toward your body. They include the: Biceps. Brachialis. Brachioradialis.
Flexors of Elbow. Biceps Brachi---Powerful flexor when elbow is in 90 degree Flexion. Brachialis----Flexor of elbow in all position. Brachioradialis---Flexor of elbow in midprone position [1]
Biceps tendinopathy is a relatively common source of pain in the anterior elbow; history often includes repeated elbow flexion with forearm supination and pronation.
The elbow joint is a complex hinge joint formed between the distal end of the humerus in the upper arm and the proximal ends of the ulna and radius in the forearm. The elbow allows for the flexion and extension of the forearm relative to the upper arm, as well as rotation of the forearm and wrist.
anatomy at elbow. it leaves the triangular interval (teres major, long head of triceps and humeral shaft) found in spiral groove 13 cm above the trochlea. pierces lateral intermuscular septum 7.5 cm above the trochlea. this is usually at the junction of the middle and distal third of the humerus.
