Abstract

This article examines the basic structure and function of the elbow from a biomechanical perspective. Kinematics, including types and ranges of motion are described. Anatomical and functional parameters related to joint stability and loading patterns are discussed in relation to joint kinetics. A final section summarizes pertinent EMG findings related to elbow function.
