Where is the origin of supinator?
The supinator muscle has a broad origin from the ulna and humerus. The two layers of fibres originate in common from the supinator crest of the ulna, the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, the radial collateral ligament and the annular radial ligament.
What is the origin of the pronator teres?
Pronator teres muscle
| Origin | Humeral head: medial supracondylar ridge of humerus Ulnar head: Coronoid process of ulna |
|---|---|
| Insertion | Lateral surface of radius (distal to supinator) |
| Action | Pronation of forearm at the proximal radioulnar joint, flexion of the forearm at the elbow joint |
| Innervation | Median nerve (C6, C7) |
What are the 2 main Supinators of the forearm?

Is biceps brachii and supinator?
Primary functions of the biceps brachii is flexion of the elbow and supination of the forearm. In fact, it is the prime mover of forearm supination. Since it crosses the gleno-humeral joint, it also serves to assist shoulder elevation.
What nerve passes through supinator?
The posterior interosseous nerve, also known as the dorsal interosseous nerve, is the continuation of the deep branch of the radial nerve after it penetrates the supinator muscle. It carries fibers from the C7 and C8 spinal nerves and supplies the majority of the muscles in the posterior compartment of the forearm.
How do you make pronator teres stronger?
These include body-weight exercises such as pullups, neutral-grip pullups, reverse-grip pullups or chinups, and inverted rows. Weightlifting movements include bent-over rows, single-arm rows, lat pulldowns and low pulley rows. Biceps exercises such as barbell and dumbbell curls also work your pronator teres.
Why does my pronator teres hurt?
Pronator syndrome occurs from entrapment of the median nerve by the pronator teres muscle. It is associated with prolonged or repetitive forearm movements, i.e., gripping with the palm down. Carpenters, mechanics, assembly line workers, tennis players, rowers, and weight lifters are predisposed to this problem.
