We need to make sure we understand the movements of different body parts, in this video we will go over the movements of the wrist (radiocarpal) joint. The radiocarpal joint is a condyloid joint, giving this joint the ability to do flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction.

It is very important that we understand that anytime we refer to any anatomical terms, we are referring to the body in the anatomical position, this a standard position OR a reference point, that is systemically agreed upon for clear understanding when we are discussing anatomical terms.

The anatomical position is standing up right, facing forward with our arms at our sides with our palms facing forward.

It is also very important that we understand what ulnar deviation and radial deviation are as well. It is likely they words could be used interchangeably in the MBLEx when referring the direction of the wrist.

Make sure you know this information, it is likely that you will see this material on the MBLEx. The MBLEx has anywhere from 11-12 questions over materials (such as in this video).

As always, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or comments...

You can find my email in the about me section of our YT channel, if you would like to book a tutoring session.

Very respectfully,
