	Extensor carpi radialis longus muscle
		Extensor carpi radialis longus is one of the five main muscles that control movement at the wrist.
		As the name suggests, this muscle is an extensor at the wrist joint, and travels along the radial side of the arm, so will also abduct the hand at the wrist.
		Being an extensor contained in the forearm, it is innervated by the radial nerve.

	Extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle
		Extensor carpi radialis brevis is an extensor, and an abductor of the hand at the wrist joint.
		It lies medial to longus, and is slightly shorter.
		Like all the muscles in the posterior forearm, ECR brevis is supplied by a branch of the the radial nerve.

	Dissector Answers - Forearm & Wrist
		The tendons of flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, and flexor carpi ulnaris muscles lie deep to the palmar carpal ligament at the wrist.
		The pronator teres muscle is directed obliquely across the forearm, and its tendon passes under the brachioradialis to insert on a rough impression on the shaft of the radius at the middle of its lateral surface opposite the supinator.
		The central structure in the cubital fossa is the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle.

	Muscle Physiology - Paper Abstract
		Muscles included the flexor carpi ulnaris, the flexor carpi radialis, the extensor carpi ulnaris, the extensor capri radialis brevis, and the extensor carpi radialis longus.
		Muscle length, mass, fiber pennation angle, fiber length, and sarcomere length (by use of laser diffraction techniques) were determined.
		The muscles were found to be highly specialized, with architectural features of same muscles very similar.

		Consequently, the muscles of the forearm are not so large as those of the upper arm but they will be more numerous and complex given their multiple functions.
		Note that the extensor carpi radialis brevis is the shorter of the two.
		The most lateral muscle (on the ulna side) on the dorsal surface of the forearm is the extensor carpi ulnaris.

		The dorsal surface, broad and flat, supports the tendons of the extensor muscles; the volar surface is grooved in the middle line for the passage of the Flexor tendons, and marked on either side by an articular eminence continuous with the terminal articular surface.
		The extensor carpi radialis longus muscle is inserted on the dorsal surface and the flexor carpi radialis muscle on the volar surface of the base.
		On its ulnar side is a prominent tubercle for the insertion of the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle.

	Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery: Extensor carpi radialis brevis: An anatomical analysis of its origin
		For histological evaluation, the origins of extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, extensor digitorum communis and carpi ulnaris were isolated by sharp dissection as a unit from their osseous origin.
		The origins of extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi ulnaris were separated from the 'common extensor' origin by loose connective tissue and fat.
		We found the 'common extensor' origin to be a separate structure from that of extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi ulnaris.

		In lower mammals the two extensores carpi radiales are represented by one muscle; human cases have been reported in which the two muscles were fused, the common belly having two or three tendons inserted into the metacarpal bones.
		Extensor carpi radialis intermedius is a rare muscle that arises independently from the epicondyle of the humerus between the two usual muscles and is inserted into the second and third metacarpals.
		Extensor carpi radialis accessorius is an additional muscle sometimes seen arising from the humerus, with or below the long radial extensor, and inserting most frequently onto the metacarpal bone of the thumb.

		The superficial flexor muscles all arise from a common tendon attached to the medial epicondyle of the humerus, known as the common flexor attachment.

		Rectus means "straight," and rectus muscles are parallel muscles whose fibers generally run along the long axis of the body.
		Muscles visible at the body surface are often called externus or superficialis, whereas deeper muscles are termed internus or profundus.
		For example, the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle is a long muscle along the radial (lateral) border of the forearm.

	Effectiveness of muscle vibration in modulating corticospinal excitability
		With respect to muscle vibration, the extent to which changes in cortical excitability are influenced by the period of application is not known.
		The effect was specific to the target muscle, as evidenced by a 33 percent increase in MEP size and an enlarged region of cortical excitability associated with the ECRL muscle only.
		Vibration for 15 min increases both the size of the corticospinal volley and the cortical representation area of the target muscle, which is maintained for at least 5 min.

		An EMG or electromyographic recording of muscle activity is often done to determine the extent of muscle involvement for a particular movement.
		For example, in comparing two functionally distinct regions of the pectoralis major muscle (i.e., clavicular head and sternocostal head), they found that the clavicular head of the pec major (the part attached to the collarbone or clavicle) was more active during a narrow grip vs. wide grip, esp. during the flat and incline bench press.
		Further evidence for the functional differentiation within the biceps muscle is magnetic resonance imaging which demonstrate that a standing bilateral dumbell curl with your palms up (supinated) hits the medial or short head of the biceps brachii muscle more so than the lateral or long head.

		Longus was a Greek sophist and romancer, and author of Daphnis and Chlöe.
		Nothing is known of his life, and all that can be said is that he probably lived at the end of the 2nd or the beginning of the 3rd century AD.
		Longus found an incomparable translator in Jacques Amyot, bishop of Auxerre, whose French version, as revised by Paul Louis Courier, is better known than the original.

		Before this procedure can be undertaken, the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus muscle must be tested for strength by the operator applying resistance (pushing down on the patient’s wrist) while the patient tries to extend his wrist or twist it outwards.
		Through an incision made in the radial border of the forearm, the extensor carpi radialis longus tendon is withdrawn, cut and secured by forceps.
		The protruding (from the incision in the palm) graft tendon, now attached to the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus tendon, is then drawn out and its end carefully divided along its fibres into four slips, one for each of the four fingers (excluding the thumb).
