Muscles Involved:[edit | edit source]
Flexor carpi radialis longus
Flexor carpi radialis brevis
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]
- Therapist is seated to access test-side
To Test[edit | edit source]
- Patient actively flexes the wrist through range.
- For grades 4 to 5 apply resistance through palm in a direction opposite to flexion.
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]
