Technical Tuesday Elbow
Unlike the hip, which is a
ball-and-socket joint that allows turn out, the elbow is a hinge joint. Like
the name implies, it operates like the hinge on a door, allowing only flexion
and extension – not rotation.
Here is a description of the elbow joint from
“The elbow joint occurs
at the junction the humerus or upper arm bone, the ulna which is the larger of
the two forearm bones and the radius bone. ... The radius is the smaller of the
two forearm bones and sits on the outside of the joint.”
Today’s Link of the Day provides a more complete look at this fascinating
joint.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets

Quote of the Day:
“Don't be
discouraged when your life boils hot. With just a little more toil, you'll reap
from the soil. More oil to your elbows. Stay awake and make it happen!”
