The Elbow
Blessen Abraham Jainy JamesNaved Patel
The Primary Elbow Extensors & Flexors
Elbow flexors• Biceps brachii• Brachialis• Brachioradialis• Weak assistance from pronator teres
Elbow extensor• Triceps brachii• Anconeus provides assistance
What type of joint is the elbow?
The elbow is a Radioulnar joint
It is a pivot-type joint The radial head rotates around the
proximal Distal radius rotates around distal
ulna The angular ligament maintains
radial head in its joints
What is the degree of freedom for the elbow joint?
In supination it is 80 – 90 degree’s from neutral In pronation its 70 – 90 degrees from neutral
Articulation of which bones make the elbow joint?
The elbow is made up of the humerus, ulna, & radius
Draw diagram representing all the movement of
elbow joint and name the plane and axis of each movement.
All these movements take place in the saggital and frontal plane
In what plane does supination and pronation occur?
Supination & pronation take place in the sagittal and coronal plane
What is tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow is a common problem where the lateral epicondyle becomes
painful and tender. Usually involving the extensor digitorum muscle near its
origin on lateral epicondyle. It is also known as lateral epicondylitis and is
associated with gripping & lifting activities
The ligaments of the elbow joint
Ulnar collateral ligamentRadial collateral ligamentAnnular ligament
Normal ranges:Elbow flexion (zero to 150 degrees)Elbow Extension (150 degrees to zero)Supination (zero to 80 or 90 degrees)Pronation (zero to 80 or 90 degrees)
The ligament injured in hyperextension of the elbow
joint is:The ulnar collateral ligament
Elbow flexion is an example of
Third class lever because the biceps brachii applies force at the insertion of the radial tuberosity, the resistance is the center of gravity and the elbow as the axis.
The Biceps brachialis muscle isThe prime mover for flexion of the Elbow
jointThe biceps brachialis pulls at the insertion
of the radial tuberosity as shown in the previous slide.
