Which muscles are involved in the bending of the wrist?

The muscles involved in the bending of the wrist are primarily the flexors. These muscles are located on the anterior (palmar) side of the forearm and are responsible for flexing the hand towards the forearm. When these flexor muscles contract, they cause the wrist joint to bend, allowing movements such as curling your fingers into your palm or moving your hand forward.

The flexor group includes several key muscles, such as the flexor carpi radialis and the flexor carpi ulnaris, which directly contribute to wrist flexion. This action is crucial not only for functional tasks like grasping objects but also for various activities in cosmetology that require precise hand movements. Understanding the role of flexor muscles in wrist movement helps in ergonomics and technique during cosmetology practices, ensuring not only effective service but also the prevention of strain injuries.
