Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle

elbow. Frequently seen in sports that require a repetitive motion of forearm flexion and extension, such as tennis, pitching, golf, javelin throwing, and fencing, the muscles that are typically involved, but are not limited to, include the extensor muscles.(1) This muscle group encompasses the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the extensor digitorum communis laterally. In addition,but not as prevalent with athletic injuries regarding the forearm complex, the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis medially, and the posterior triceps are also involved in this tendinopathy.(5) Approximately 1 to 3 percent…

grip strength (p. 331). Because of this, individuals are unable to participate in their daily activities and occupations which require their hand, wrist, or forearm. If an individual performs forearm rotation following an injury, they will likely feel a popping or clicking sensation in the area. This sensation could be due to the lack of stability, or an impingement in the area. As the TFCC is an area located in the ulnar side of the wrist, there are a number of muscles around it. Domire,…

The intrinsic muscles include the thenar and hypothenar muscle group in the thumb and pinky, the interossei muscles by the dorsal and palmar, originating between the metacarpal bones, and the lumbrical muscles by the deep flexor tendon. The intrinsic muscles only make the fingers function. The extrinsic muscles are the long flexors and extensors, running from the forearm to the hand, providing strength to the hand and wrist. The flexors prohibit the fingers to bend and the extensors can make the…

in order to instruct a volleyball player on the correct qualitative and quantitative aspects of a serve. Particular movements for a volleyball serve, encompass both structural and mechanical fundamentals essential to the functionality of the movement. Using both kinesiology and biomechanical analysis, the volleyball serve may be better understood. When studying the specific anatomical features of a volleyball serve, the movements are most efficiently analyzed in smaller phases. Using kinesiology…

al 2012). Pain and discomfort is felt in the area located over the lateral epicondyle, the origin for all of the extensors in the forearm (Jariwala A. et al 2012). Lateral epicondylitis affects the tendinous tissue of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus as well as the extensor muscles;…

major key in sports as it dissects the certain movement of muscles and joints to perform a certain action in the sport. A basketball jump shot uses all of the movement phases, from the stance phase, preparatory phase, movement phase, follow-through phase and recovery phase. The jump shot has gradually evolved in the NBA, and is considered one of the most important and most commonly used shot in basketball. There are many sharpshooters in the NBA, like Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Carmelo…

lower back or leg pain. For proper body mechanics you must have the “load” close to your body, trunk in an upright position, and use the muscles in the leg instead of the back (Early, 2013 pg 191).Proper body mechanics for the activity of tug of war, would be to stand in a staggered squat position, with one foot out while the other is lined up with the hip. Secondly, your trunk should be upright, even while pulling on the rope the trunk should remain in an upright position. Use your leg muscles…

able to watch what is going on with the pitcher and also people on base at all times. The most important muscles in cervical extension would be trapezius, levator scapula, splenius capitis, splenius cervicis, rectus capitis posterior major, recuts capitis posterior minor,…

11. Extensor pollicis brevis a. The extensor pollicis brevis originates on the posterior distal surface of the radius, and inserts on the proximal posteriolateral surface of the thumb (AnatomyExpert, 2014). b. Its main functions are to extend the metacarpal bone and the 1st phalanx (AnatomyExpert, 2014). 12. Abductor pollicis longus a. The abductor pollicis longus originates on the middle posterior surface of the ulna and radius, and inserts onto the proximal posteriolateral end of the 1st…

The human body is composed of muscle which are responsible for body movement. Muscles in found in the human body attach to the bones of the skeletal system, in a human body there are “700 individual muscles that make up part of a person’s weight and the muscular system. Each of these muscles are separate organ which are made up of skeletal tissues, nerves, blood vessels and muscle tissues. Muscle tissues are found throughout the human body, inside the heart, the blood vessels and the digestive…
