The document summarizes the main muscle groups of the forearm. It describes that the anterior compartment contains flexor muscles while the posterior compartment contains extensor muscles. It then discusses the individual muscles in more detail, including their functions such as flexing the digits and wrist, extending the wrist, abducting and adducting the wrist, finger abduction, thumb extension and abduction, pronation and supination of the forearm.
