    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_curl

    The wrist curl is a weight training exercise for developing the wrist flexor muscles, the muscles in the front of the forearm. [1] It is therefore an isolation exercise. Ideally, it should be done in combination with the "reverse wrist curl" (also called wrist extension) which works out the muscles comprising the back of the forearms, [1] to ensure equal development of the wrist flexor and ...

    The extensor carpi radialis longus is a wrist extensor that is innervated by the radial nerve, [2] [3] from spinal roots C6 and C7. [4] All other major extensor muscles in the superficial layer of the posterior compartment (the extensor digitorum , extensor carpi radialis brevis , extensor carpi ulnaris , and extensor digiti minimi ) are ...

    In anatomy, flexor carpi radialis is a muscle of the human forearm that acts to flex and (radially) abduct the hand. The Latin carpus means wrist; hence flexor carpi is a flexor of the wrist. Origin and insertion

  5. Extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    It is an extensor, and an abductor of the hand at the wrist joint. That is, it serves to manipulate the wrist so that the fingers moves away from the palm. The muscle, like all extensors of the forearm, can be strengthened by exercise that resist its extension; Reverse wrist curls with dumbbells can be performed.

    Extensor compartments of wrist (back of hand) The fingers have two long flexors, located on the underside of the forearm. They insert by tendons to the phalanges of the fingers. The deep flexor attaches to the distal phalanx, and the superficial flexor attaches to the middle phalanx. The flexors allow for the actual bending of the fingers.

  7. Posterior compartment of the forearm - Wikipedia

    The second compartment is occupied by the two radial wrist extensors, the extensor carpi radialis longus and the extensor carpi radialis brevis. The third compartment exclusively accommodates the extensor pollicis longus, which hooks around Lister's tubercle of radius and inserts to the thumb. The fourth compartment is the largest of all.

  8. Extensor carpi ulnaris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_carpi_ulnaris_muscle

    In human anatomy, the extensor carpi ulnaris is a skeletal muscle located on the ulnar side of the forearm. The extensor carpi ulnaris acts to extend and adduct at the carpus/wrist from anatomical position. Being an extensor muscle, extensor carpi ulnaris is located on the posterior side of the forearm.
