Pronator quadratus and pronator teres perform pronation, brachioradialis aids initiation of the movement.
The most common treatment for pronator teres syndrome, which is often mis-diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome, is Neuromuscular Therapy or Trigger Point Therapy to eliminate myofascial trigger points in the pronator teres muscle, and its associated muscles and antagonists like the supinator.
The pronator teres and pronator quadratus
This is mostly achieved by the Pronator Teres and hte Pronator Qudratus muscles.
Supinator. Also, as pronator teres also contributes to flexion of the elbow, that action is antagonized by the triceps.
The pronator teres and pronator quadratus muscles located in the forearm are responsible for pronation. These muscles work together to rotate the forearm so that the palm faces downwards or backwards.
Pronator teres
The Pronator Teres muscle pronates the forearm at the radioulnar joint. It also provides flexion of the forearm at the elbow joint
The antagonist muscles of the elbow joint are the biceps brachii and brachialis, which oppose the action of the triceps brachii. In the radioulnar joint, the supinator and biceps brachii act as antagonists to the pronator teres and pronator quadratus muscles.
The antagonist for the supinator muscle is the pronator teres muscle. These muscles work in opposition to each other to produce rotation of the forearm.
