Diagram Extensor Tendons Forearm. The schematic is a good approximation for the forearm which looks more complicated than it is and we can get some insight into the way typical muscle systems function by analyzing it. Diagram the movements of the humerus muscles that act on the forearm.
It then passes down the arm beneath biceps muscle and ends as the lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. They provide compressive stability. The schematic is a good approximation for the forearm which looks more complicated than it is and we can get some insight into the way typical muscle systems function by analyzing it.
In c5 tetraplegia or radial nerve palsy patients pronator teres tendon can be rerouted so called tendon transfer to extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon to restore wrist extension.
The instrinsic muscles are located within the hand itself whereas the extrinsic muscles are located proximally in the forearm and insert onto the hand by long tendons. This is known as nerve compression or a pinched nerve. Lateral cord of the brachial plexus. These tendons run along the top of the foot and insert into the four lesser toes.
