Muscles Involved:[edit | edit source]
Flexor carpi radialis
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Patient Positioning[edit | edit source]
- Patient is seated with dorsal surface of forearm supported on table
Joint start Position[edit | edit source]
The forearm in supination.
Therapist Position[edit | edit source]

Biasing Muscles/ Muscle Groups[edit | edit source]
- To bias flexor carpi ulnaris: instruct patient to flex wrist leading with 5th digit and apply resistance in the direction of radial deviation and extension over 5th metacarpal.
- To bias flexor carpi radialis: instruct patient to flex wrist leading with the thumb and apply resistance in the direction of ulnar deviation and extension over 2nd metacarpal.[1]
