Today’s video covers the six most important mobility exercises to focus on if you have lost wrist joint range of motion. The wrist joint (radiocarpal joint) is an ellipsoid joint that involves an articulation between the distal radius and articular disk and the proximal row of carpal bones of the hand. Movements of the wrist joint include flexion, extension, pronation, supination and radial and ulnar deviation. Mobility deficits at the wrist can occur with any of these motions and can be caused by various injuries, including falls, sprains and fractures.
If you have suffered an injury and believe you may have limited mobility, checkout the videos in this post to learn the normal range of motion values for the wrist joint. Please remember that these norms are only averages and your ‘normal’ may be slightly different.
1. Wrist Flexion (80-90°)
2. Wrist Extension (70-80°)
3. Ulnar Deviation (30-40°)
4. Radial Deviation (20-30°)
5. Supination (80-90°)
6. Pronation (70-80°) .
The wrist pain program in my book is much more comprehensive and guides you through three phases of rehab. Each body region has its own chapter and the book has rehab programs for the 50 most common orthopedic injuries and pain issues.
