Forearms muscles
The forearms are complex, featuring two main muscle groups: flexors and extensors. Flexors on the anterior side enable wrist and finger flexion, crucial for gripping. Notable muscles here include the flexor carpi radialis and flexor digitorum superficialis. Extensors on the posterior side, like extensor carpi radialis longus, extend the wrist and fingers, aiding in object manipulation. Balancing these muscles is vital for precision tasks, underscoring their role in daily activities. Maintaining their strength and flexibility helps prevent injuries commonly associated with repetitive hand and wrist motions.
