Main tendons: flexor carpi ulnaris. Flexor carpi radialis adductor magnus muscle

The flexor carpi ulnaris is located on the medial edge of the forearm. Key features: thick tendon, long belly.

general information

Musculus flexor carpi ulnaris (as this tendon is called in anatomy in Latin) consists of two heads:

Shoulder - located in the area of the intermuscular, epicondyle of the shoulder.

Ulnar - begins already at the process of the elbow, occupies about two-thirds from the bottom, covering the forearm in the area of fascia. The tissue is placed near the flexor retinaculum and provides coverage of the pisiform bone. Next, the tissue gradually passes into the pisiometacarpal and uncinate ligaments. The head is attached to the metacarpal and hamate bones.

The main function of the tendon is flexion/extension of the hand.

How to pump it up?

The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle can be pumped up at home without the use of exercise equipment or equipment. Yoga comes to the rescue. The exercise is as follows:

Clench your fists;

Extend your arms forward;

Hands up;

Lower your arms, straining your hands.

Aim to touch your forearm with your fists.

It is believed that the flexor carpi ulnaris can be pumped up with acupressure. Reflexotherapy recommends making it a daily procedure, as it strengthens the hands and helps maintain muscle tone. In this case, they act on an area called the anatomical snuffbox, that is, a depression that is located at the very base of the palm between two small bones. It is recommended to do acupressure massage 2-3 times a day.

Push-ups and training with dumbbells have a positive effect on the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon. Remember that even with a heavy load there will not be an immediate result; the effect will be noticeable after a month or two of regular practice.

Gives good results fitness equipment and implements invented to train the flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris. The most famous of them is the expander. When purchasing, give preference to round products with a small hole in the center. It is better to take a small projectile of medium hardness. Maximum loads are recommended after 6-8 months from the start of training. The combined use of two types of expanders is effective:

Soft (warm-up);

Hard (training).

Spring expanders equipped with a stiffness adjustment system are suitable for professional use.

You can develop your flexor carpi ulnaris with this exercise in any convenient place, at any time of the day. With minimal rigidity, start with 8-10 repetitions, then take a break and start the next set. In the first days, two cycles will be enough; over time, the duration of the training will increase. You should not exercise for more than 15 minutes a day.

Please note that execution difficult exercises leads to painful sensations. If you overdo it with gymnastics and resistance band training, use topical pain-relieving ointments.

Why does the tendon hurt?

If your flexor carpi planus is painful, it's probably tendinitis. The term is applied to a wide range of diseases associated with degeneration of tendon tissue. If an organ undergoes chronic stress beyond normal, edema develops and microscopic cracks appear, leading to destruction of the mucous membrane. If the process is not recognized in time and treatment is not taken up, the mucous membrane degenerates, and the tendon acquires the consistency of jelly.

The flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris most often suffer from lateral epicondylitis, popularly called. This disease is characterized by severe pain in the area of the epicondyle of the shoulder, which is diagnosed by palpation. The damage is classified as stressful and develops against the background of chronic fatigue of the tendon. As the name suggests, a similar pathology develops in tennis players. Epicondylitis affects players of badminton, golf and other similar sports.

Features of rehabilitation

During rehabilitation, the condition of the tendon is monitored as follows:

Supination (rotation) of the hand on the table surface;

Stabilization of the dorsal side;

Bend the wrist with the fingers down.

The test allows you to visually determine the condition of the tendon, since it clearly protrudes on the surface of the forearm. Please note that training involves stress on the tendon, so use this technique carefully.

Rehabilitation of the tendon is based on the innervation of the ulnar nerve. The tendon mobility test is performed in the ulnar direction, which is the most active. In this case, one hand fixes the forearm, and the other resists the hypothenar. On the inside of the hand, the doctor palpates the tendon and monitors the degree of recovery.

Flexor carpi radialis, m. flexor carpi radialis, is a long bipinnate flat muscle. Located lateral to all flexors of the forearm. In the proximal part it is covered only by the aponeurosis of the biceps brachii and m. palmaris longus, and the rest, the larger part of the muscle, is only fascia and skin. The muscle begins from the medial epicondyle humerus, intermuscular septum and fascia of the forearm; is directed downwards and passes under the flexor retinaculum to the base of the palmar surface of the II (III) metacarpal bone.

Function: bends and pronates the brush of this layer. Two heads are distinguished in it: the large humeral head, caput humerale, which begins from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, the medial intermuscular septum of the shoulder and the fascia of the forearm, and the smaller ulnar head, caput ulnare, lying under it and originating from the medial edge of the tuberosity of the ulna. Both heads form a somewhat flattened abdomen from front to back, which turns into a narrow tendon. The muscle runs obliquely from the inside to the outside and is attached to the middle third of the lateral surface of the body radius.

Function: pronates the forearm.

Innervation: n. medianus (CVI-CVII).

Blood supply: aa. brachialis, ulnaris, radialis.

Innervation: n. medianus.
