Elbow Joint Muscles Strength

Anatomical Movement: Elbow joint resisted flexion and extension.
Testing position: Patient is standing or seated with the hand supinated and the arm parallel to the midline of the body. The upper arm is held with one hand and forearm with the other hand, followed by a resisted flexion and extension at the elbow.
Expected Findings: Patient should maintain an end point range against maximum resistance to satisfy grade 5 'normal muscle’ criteria.

Anatomical Movement: Forearm resisted supination and pronation.
Testing position: Patient is standing or seated with the shoulder adducted by their side, elbow at 90 degrees of flexion and forearm in the neutral position. One hand supports the patient’s elbow, the other hand grasps the wrist to resist active forearm supination and pronation.
Expected Findings: Patient should maintain an end point range against maximum resistance to satisfy grade 5 'normal muscle’ criteria.
