The forearm is the region of the upper limb located between the elbow and the wrist. Proximally, the radius and ulna connect with the distal end of the humerus, forming the elbow joint, enabling hinge-like flexion and extension movements. The muscles of the forearm and hand work together to give us both strength and fine control. The term forearm is used in anatomy to distinguish it from the arm, a word which is used to describe the entire appendage of the upper limb, but which in anatomy, technically, means only the region of the upper arm, whereas the lower "arm" is called the forearm. They are often grouped into flexor muscles (on the palm side, used for bending) and extensor muscles (on the back side, used for straightening). Find out about causes, symptoms & treatment of forearm pain.
