Anatomy Lesson: Forearm and Wrist Musculature

The wrist and forearm are made up of MANY MANY small muscles.  To keep things simple, I will break this up into muscle groups that do 4 motions (although it is more complex than this): wrist flexion, wrist extension, wrist supination, and wrist pronation.

Wrist Flexors: Flexor carpi radialis, Flexor carpi ulnaris, Palmaris Longus, Flexor Digitorum superficialis, Flexor Digitorum profundis, Flexor Pollicis Longus

Wrist Extensors: Extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, Extensor digitorum, Extensor digiti minimi, Extensor carpi ulnaris, Extensor pollicis longus, Extensor indicis

Forearm Pronators: Pronator Teres, Pronator Quadratus, Brachioradialis

Forearm Supinators: Supinator

Stretching the Forearms: Hold for 30sec each way.
