Pulleys
Class IV:
• The muscle acts as a pulley the muscle is its own pulley
e.g. as the biceps muscle increases in size, its angle of
insertion will increase.
• The muscle underneath acts as pulley for another
muscle, which passes over it e.g. brachialis ms., will
raise the biceps giving it a better angle of insertion. For
this to be effective, the overriding ms. must not have the
same insertion as the bulky ms.
