pronates the forearm
Pronator quadratus and pronator teres perform pronation, brachioradialis aids initiation of the movement.
The pronator teres and pronator quadratus
Pronator teres
This is mostly achieved by the Pronator Teres and hte Pronator Qudratus 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.
Pronator teres
Supinator. Also, as pronator teres also contributes to flexion of the elbow, that action is antagonized by the triceps.
The Pronator Teres muscle pronates the forearm at the radioulnar joint. It also provides flexion of the forearm at the elbow joint
The antagonist for the brachioradialis muscle is the pronator teres. It helps to produce opposite movements at the elbow joint, with the brachioradialis mainly responsible for elbow flexion and the pronator teres for elbow extension.
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.
Latissimus dorsi is the synergist of the teres major.Specifically, a synergist is a muscle which acts with another. The latissimus dorsi helps adduct and rotate the shoulder to elbow bone called the humerus. The teres major is a shoulder-related muscle.
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.
