Brachioradialis Muscle

The muscle is used to stabilize the elbow during rapid flexion and extension as when someone is hammering.  Synergy is the interaction of multiple elements in a system to produce an effect different from or greater than the sum of their individual effects. The Brachioradialis is synergistic with the brachialis and biceps brachii; the triceps brachii and anconeus (a small muscle on the posterior aspect of the elbow joint) are antagonists.

 

Anatomy of the Brachioradialis:

  • Origin lower 2/3rds of the supracondylar of the Humerus.

  • Insertion Styloid process of the radius.

  • Function is elbow flexion, supination and pronation.

 

The lower part of the tendon that is the insertion of the brachioradialis spirals on downward toward the thumb.
