OOPS - PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT
WRIST

Mobirise

See instructions for drawing your pain on devices.

You can draw a pain chart / graph to show how the pain changes over the course of 24 hours.

Then follow the range of movement guide below. It might be useful to have another person to estimate how much of your range you have before you feel pain or stiffness.

Write the percentage of movements in the calculator below and it will give you the average of all ranges as your functional range. This will give you the starting point and link for your rehabilitation as below.
Write this down so you can refer to it every few days to measure your improvement by following the rehabilitation guides as below. Then click the clear button to clear the form for the next time you use.    

Neutral Position
Turn your hand and forearm on the side and then upward with straight fingers. If you are unable to straighten your wrist like the image, make a note of how much this is as a negative extension (e.g E= -10% ) or negative flexion (e.g F= -10%).
Wrist Flexion
Pull your hand inward with straight fingers. Full range is shown above. 
See: Neutral Position - when hand can't be in neutral flexion.

Write as Flexion (F) = (e.g 50%)
Wrist Extension
Pull your hand backward with straight fingers. Full range is shown above. 
See: Neutral Position - when hand can't be in neutral extension.

Write as extension (E) = (e.g 50%)
Radial Deviation
Rest hand and forearm upward or downward on table. Keeping the hand flat, tilt hand sideways to the thumb side. Compare with unaffected hand.

Write as Rad Devn = (e.g. 50%)
Ulna Deviation
Rest hand and forearm upward or downward on table. While keeping the hand flat, tilt hand sideways to the 5th finger side.

Write as Ulna Devn = (e.g. 50%)

Flexion:--------

Extension:------

Radial Deviation:

Ulna Deviation: --
