	Brachioradialis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brachioradialis is a muscle located in the forearm, that acts to flex the forearm.
		The brachioradialis is a stronger elbow flexor when the radioulnar joint (forearm) is in a midposition between supination and pronation.
		When the forearm is pronated, the brachioradialis is more active during elbow flexion since the biceps brachii is in a mechanical disadvantage.

		Where muscles are connected with its skin, they lie as a flattened layer beneath it, and are connected with its areolar tissue by larger or smaller bundles of fibers, as in the muscles of the face.
		In some muscles, which otherwise would belong to the quadrilateral or triangular type, the origin and insertion are not in the same plane, but the plane of the line of origin intersects that of the line of insertion; such is the case in the Pectineus.
		In a muscle with parallel or nearly parallel fibers which have the same direction as the tendon this corresponds to the anatomical cross-section, but in unipinnate and bipinnate muscles the physiological cross-section may be nearly at right angles to the anatomical cross-section as shown in Fig.

		The first branch of the median nerve is to the pronator teres muscle, then the flexor carpi radialis, the palmaris longus and the flexor digitorum superficialis.
		It innervates the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, the flexor digitorum profundus muscle to the ring and pinky fingers, and the intrinsic muscles of the hand (the interosseous muscle, the lumbrical muscles and the flexor pollicus brevis muscle).

	Muscles of the Forearm
		The superficial flexor muscles all arise from a common tendon attached to the medial epicondyle of the humerus, known as the common flexor attachment.
		All of the flexor muscle, except for the brachioradialis (which is supplied by the radial nerve), are supplied by the median and ulnar nerve.
		The remaining nine muscles are all extensors and are all innervated by the radial nerve.

		The bicep muscle is generally the prime mover of forearm flexion; however, there are three other muscles that contribute to arm movements, most importantly (to those that want to get big), these three other muscles contribute to bulking up those pipes.
		These muscles are smaller then the bicep but when you alter the position of the exercise you can help hypertrophy these muscles, which will cause the bicep to "elevate," making your arm look thicker.
		This muscle originates in the humeral shaft and inserts on the radius bone in your forearm.

		Estimates have been made of the strength of muscles and it is probable that coarse-fibered muscles are somewhat stronger per square centimeter of physiological cross-section than are the fine-fibered muscles.

		The muscle we measured activity for was the Brachio- radialis.

		Although these muscles can certainly be involved in cases of Tennis Elbow, the injury is more often caused by active Myofascial Trigger Points in the Supinator muscle due to the strain of this muscle while engaged in resisted pronation or forceful supination of the wrist/forearm.
		Although the biceps is usually thought of as the main supinator muscle of the wrist and forearm, the biceps is only activated if the elbow is flexed (Even slightly), and when strength is needed to overcome resistance to the supination of the hand/forearm.
