The brachioradialis is a muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow.[1][2] It is also capable of both pronation and supination, depending on the position of the forearm.[2] It is attached to the distal styloid process of the radius by way of the brachioradialis tendon, and to the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus.
