That's anatomically impossible. The right forearm muscles cannot straighten the bent/folded right elbow. That function is performed by the UPPER arm triceps muscle. Forerarm muscles can only perform the following anatomical actions-: 1) Flex, extend, abduct or adduct the fingers and thumb. 2) Palmarflex or dorsiflex the wrist. 3) Radially deviate or ulnarly deviate the wrist. 4) Pronate or supinate the hand. Forearm muscles cannot flex or extend the elbow joint because they are distal (peripheral) to the elbow joint. If anybody contests my opinion, please be so kind to name the right forearm muscle which is "supposedly" capable of straightening the right elbow joint. Jeff.
