Flexor Forearm Radius

The flexor forearm radialis (lat. M. Antobracheae radialis) is one of the most important muscles of the hand and is responsible for flexing the wrist and fingers. This muscle is a bundle of thin fibers located on the front of the forearm that form a tendon that ends at the flexor digitorum (motor muscle).

During its contraction, this muscle allows you to flex the shoulder, which is associated with the tension of the tendons and its friction against the bone. Thus, the flexor radialis muscle is an important element in supporting arm health. But if this muscle is weak and tired, it can lead to decreased strength and mobility in the arm.

This important flexor develops under a variety of life circumstances, especially during training for strength and endurance. Exercise specialists and athletic trainers often use strength exercises and training to improve the muscle power and flexibility of this muscle. It helps improve hand flexibility in life and sports as it allows you to perform complex movements required in sports such as tennis, golf, football and many others.

However, when this muscle becomes damaged or fatigued, a variety of pain and injuries can occur in the wrist, hand, shoulder, and arm as a whole. This is due to strain, strain or sprain of the muscle, as well as other types of injuries such as sprains, fractures, sprains or torn ligaments. Therefore, it is important to know where this muscle is located, what functions it performs and how it relates to a healthy lifestyle.

Doctors also recommend preventive measures so as not to aggravate existing problems.
