elbow is made up of three bones – the ulna‚ radius‚ and humorous. The radius and ulna are the two bones found in the forearm and the humorous is the only bone of the upper arm. Collectively‚ they form a hinge joint‚ which allows for flexion and extension of the arm. However‚ the point at which the radius and ulna meet forms a pivot joint‚ which allows the radius to rotate about the ulna and permits pronation and supination of the forearm (“Elbow Anatomy”). Ligaments of connective tissue hold the

Using the joint as the fulcrum‚ the goniometer was aligned with the axis of rotation of the desired flexibility measurement. The immovable arm of the goniometer was aligned next to the non-moving portion of the body while the moveable arm of the goniometer was aligned with the extending or flexing part of the body. For the shoulder flexion and extension tests‚ the

(n. d) this exercise involves the curling motion where a weight attached to a barbell (ranging from 1.2m to 2.4m) is moved through an arc‚ primarily using the strength of the biceps. The first part of the motion is when the elbows begin in full extension‚ in an overhand grip. The biceps contract to lift the weight upward through an arc‚ to a point where further movement is not possible. The next part of the motion has the elbow joint extending which is called eccentric part. Then‚ the weight is lowered

To do this the front leg is straightened‚ the movement is knee extension caused by quadriceps and also hamstrings. This causes a build up of torque in the core‚ due to the amount that the shoulder and hip is separated.
