6 Exercises to Improve Wrist Joint Mobility and Range of Motion

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.

Fb hacked again?

[@RehabScience]

@@peterchen5145 yes, unfortunately, Facebook was not able to permanently correct the issue. Once I have control of the page again, I will likely delete it permanently.

Great channel, I started watching for myself, but I'm now recommending your channel to my patients

[@RehabScience]

Thank you so much for recommending my channel!

[@kunalchaudhary6756]

Thank you boss man! 🫡

[@RehabScience]

No problem 👍

Any videos about hand arthritis? Thanks!

[@RehabScience]

I haven't covered that topic yet, but will plan to in the future.

[@FretWiredJournal]

@@RehabScience thank you. I’ve been playing the guitar since I was 12. Would love to get back to it if possible.

Sir my hip is frozen so please make a video i am ankylogy spondylitis patient , sojia , undifferentiated Arthritis

My right wrist hurts and cracks all the time! I think it's the radial.Could it be caused by holding my smartphone in that hand and scrolling with my thumb? Idk. Thanks ❤😊

[@RehabScience]

It is possible that holding your phone for long periods could cause some tightness and cracking. However, it’s important to know that current research has shown that joint cracking or crepitus is usually not associated with dysfunction or pathology.

Hlw doctor i am from India 🇮🇳, and i want to ask you a question. I have a cervical disc bulge problem and i want to ask you that ( if the disk that is bulged out will reabsorb in its original place over time?? Or it will remain in the same position place for the rest of life ?? ) i know that the pinched nerve symptoms will be gone on some day but my question is that will the disc bulge will reabsorb in the spine or it will remain like that forever ??

How to differentiate betwen joint stiffness and muscle shortness?

[@RehabScience]

To differentiate between these two, we have to position the limb in different positions to isolate either the muscle-tendon unit or the joint. To isolate a joint, we have to make sure the surrounding muscles (especially muscles that cross two joints) are on slack. To test the muscles, we have to make sure they are maximally tensioned at the joints they cross.
