The Elbow and Radioulnar Joints
Usually grouped together due to close anatomical relationship Elbow joint movements may be clearly distinguished from those of the radioulnar joints Often grouped together due to proximity Entirely different Structurally = 2, functionally = 1 Elbow joint distal attachment: Ulna Radioulnar joint distal attachment: Radius

Objectives Bones, bony landmarks and joints Muscles Movements

Movements Flexion: Extension:
Movement of forearm to shoulder by bending the elbow to decrease its angle Extension Extension: Movement of forearm away from shoulder by straightening the elbow to increase its angle
21
Movements Pronation Supination
Internal rotary movement of radius on ulna that results in hand moving from palm-up to palm-down position Supination External rotary movement of radius on ulna that results in hand moving from palm-down to palm-up position
22
FLEXION Superior movement of the forearm in the sagittal plane
