Joints of Elbow
• Humeroulnar joint
–hinge joint in which the humeral
trochlea articulates with the trochlear
fossa of the ulna
Joints of Elbow
• Radioulnar joint
–the proximal and distal radioulnar joints
are pivot joints

Elbow Kinematics
• Varus stress
– In extension resisted by bone structure, LCL
and lateral joint capsule
– In flexion, resisted primarily by bone
structure
• Valgus stress
– In flexion, resisted primarily by MCL
– In extension equally resisted by bone
structure, MCL and medial joint capsule

• Dominant side produces higher flexion • Generate large and dynamic extensor
torque, work, and power torques through high-velocity concentric
• Flexion torques are 70% higher than and eccentric activities (throw, push)
extension • Shoulder flexion with pushing activity,
• Flexion torques are 20-25% higher in counteracts the tendency of elbow
supinated versus pronated positions due extensors to extend the shoulder
to increased flexor moment arm of biceps
and brachioradialis
• Max torque at 90°
