    The document summarizes the muscles of the forearm, including their origins, insertions, nerve supplies and actions. It describes the anterior and posterior compartments of the forearm, identifying the muscles in each compartment and their functions. These include flexing/extending the wrist, fingers and thumb. The neurovascular structures of the forearm including the radial, ulnar and median nerves and associated arteries are also outlined.

    Forearm

    Objectives

    1. Identify the muscles in forearm in terms of their


    origin, insertion, nerve supply and actions.
    2. Describe the neurovascular structures in the
    forearm.
    3. Discuss the functions of the muscles in
    compartments of the forearm.
    Functional organization of anterior and posterior
    compartments of forearm
    Names of the muscles of forearm

    • Long names: good guide to location and function


    • Location: i.e. superficial / deep
    radial / ulnar

    • Function: i.e. flexor / extensor


    adductor / abductor
    • Does it act on the thumb (pollux) or the fingers
    (digits)?
    Functional organization

    • Anterior compartment – flexor / pronator


    • Posterior Compartment – extensor / supinator
    • Flex the wrist ………[flexor]
    • Extend the wrist ……..[extensor]
    • Pronate the forearm ……..[pronator]
    • Acting on wrist (carpus) only ……[carpi]
    • Acting on fingers ……..[digiti / digitorum]
    • Acting on thumb (pollux) ……[pollicus]
    Flexion / Extension at the wrist joint.

    Extension

    Flexion
    Adduction / abduction at the wrist joint

    Adduction Abduction
    Movements of fingers.

    Metacarpophalangeal (condyloid joints):


    flexion / extension and abduction / adduction

    Interphalangeal (hinge joints): flexion / extension

    X
    X
    Movements of the thumb – a specialized digit, occur at
    right angles to the fingers. Mainly at the Carpometacarpal
    (saddle) joint. MCP – condyloid; IP – hinge (like fingers).
