Topic: Biceps brachii



  
 Orthopaedic Journal 1999
Rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps brachii is an injury infrequently seen in clinical practice.
Morrey BF, Askew LJ, An KN, et al.: Rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps brachii: A biomechanical study.
Electromyographic (EMG) analysis of the contribution of the muscles of the arm to elbow motion found that the brachialis is the main flexor of the elbow and is active in all elbow positions [3].

 Bodybuilding.com - Diane Fields - Biceps Training!
The biceps brachii, brachialis and brachioradialis are the major flexor muscles for the elbow joint.
Scott's infamous biceps are responsible for the renaming of the biceps exercise, from preacher curls to Scott curls.
Trainers know the biceps muscles are responsible for the movement of the arm at the elbow joint, but it is also important to remember the supination factor.

 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Proximal Biceps Tendon Rupture
The conditions that are most frequently associated with--and probably contribute to--ruptures of the long head of the biceps are rotator cuff pathology, spurs of the bicipital groove, and shoulder instability (6).
MRI should be considered in patients who have clinical evidence of an associated rotator cuff tear and in those who choose to have their biceps surgically repaired.
There was mild tenderness over the bicipital groove and the short head of the biceps when the patient, with his elbow extended and forearm supinated, flexed his left shoulder forward against resistance (Speed's test, figure 3).

 APStracts 2:0311N, 1995.
These data suggest that: 1) the biceps brachii SSR can be reduced in human subjects; 2) concurrent changes are often observed in the synergist brachioradialis; and 3) the reduced biceps SSR magnitude is not linked to a compensatory increase in antagonist muscle activity.
Comparison of data between control subjects and subjects who had undergone biceps SSR up-training in previous studies, suggests that the small increase seen among the present control subjects was probably not the result of a direct training effect.
The training sessions were designed to reduce their biceps brachii spinal stretch reflexes (SSR).

The brachialis, the larger of the two muscles and your strongest elbow flexor, lies deep beneath the biceps brachii, crossing your elbow joint.
To maximize biceps work, keep your elbow in a fixed position, close to your body and aligned with your shoulder as you bend and straighten your arm.
While you can't completely isolate your biceps from your other elbow flexors, you can place greater emphasis on these muscles by keeping your hands supinated (palms facing up) while you're working them, explains trainer Charleene O'Connor.

The Biceps brachii is a flexor of the elbow and, to a less extent, of the shoulder; it is also a powerful supinator, and serves to render tense the deep fascia of the forearm by means of the lacertus fibrosus given off from its tendon.
Opposite the bend of the elbow the tendon gives off, from its medial side, a broad aponeurosis, the lacertus fibrosus (bicipital fascia) which passes obliquely downward and medialward across the brachial artery, and is continuous with the deep fascia covering the origins of the Flexor muscles of the forearm (Fig.
