Hand and wrist bones II.JPG

Thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint flexion and extension

Testing Positions[edit | edit source]

Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint Flexion[edit | edit source]

Starting Position[edit | edit source]

Patient is seated with arm rested on a table and elbow flexed. The forearm is positioned in the mid-position and the wrist is slightly positioned in extension. The MCP joint being measured is at 0° of extension.[1]

Ending Position[edit | edit source]

The thumb MCP joint is flexed to the limit of motion.[1]

Stabilization[edit | edit source]

The clinician stabilizes the metacarpal.[1]

Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint Extension[edit | edit source]

Starting Position[edit | edit source]

Patient is seated with arm rested on a table and elbow flexed. The forearm is positioned in the mid-position and the wrist is slightly positioned in extension. The MCP joint being measured is at 0° of flexion.[1]

Ending Position[edit | edit source]

The thumb MCP joint is extended to the limit of motion.[1]

Stabilization[edit | edit source]

The clinician stabilizes the metacarpal.

  • Clinical Tip: The interphalangeal (IP )joint is allowed to flex/extend during flexion and extension measurements respectively.[1]

Goniometer Placement[edit | edit source]

AXIS LOCATION[1] STATIONARY ARM[1] MOVEMENT ARM[1]
