The study was done on 60 upper limbs (56 males and 4 females) of embalmed adult human cadavers obtained from the department of anatomy, govt. Medical college, patiala. The muscle fibre length, tendon length and total muscle length of the anterior group of forearm muscles were measured in all the 60 upper limbs. Amongst wrist flexors Flexor Carpi Ulnaris had the longer muscle belly than Flexor Carpi Radialis. In Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS), FDS-Index had the longest muscle belly. In Flexor Digitorium Profundus (FDP), FDP-Middle had the longest muscle belly. The Pronator Quadratus had the smallest muscle belly with no tendon. Ratio of Muscle Fibre Length and Total Length for Flexor Carpi Ulnaris was more than Flexor Carpi Radialis. In FDS it was maximum for FDS-Index and in FDP it was maximum for FDP-Ring. As muscle length is related to the isokinetic strength, it is believed that the isokinetic strength of FCU is more than FCR and among FDS it is higher for FDS-Index and in FDP for FDP-Ring.
