Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To measure wrist ulnar and radial deviation, client should be position in
A
Upright sitting, forearm supported on a surface
B
Supine, arm abducted slightly and humerus supported
C
Upright sitting, forearm and palm supported on a surface
D
Upright sitting, elbow extended by the sides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motion in a semicircle from the thumb to the pinky is called wrist deviation: The names for the two directions of the deviation movement are derived from the bones in the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Movement toward the radius is radial deviation, and movement toward the ulna is ulnar deviation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The motion range in radial-ulnar deviation (21.2 degrees) was about 20% of the primary (flexion-extension) range of motion (108.3 degrees). The radial-ulnar deviation and flexion-extension motions combined extension with radial deviation, and flexion with ulnar deviation.
