The wrist curl is a weight training exercise for developing the wrist flexor muscles, the muscles in the front of the forearm. [1] It is therefore an isolation exercise. Ideally, it should be done in combination with the "reverse wrist curl" (also called wrist extension) which works out the muscles comprising the back of the forearms, [1] to ensure equal development of the wrist flexor and ...
A gyroscopic wrist exerciser. Video showing the use - from starting the rotation with a 'shoestring' over various movements with the holding hand until stopping the rotor with the second hand. The demonstrated speeds are, in part, very high and not recommended for normal exercise due to the resulting high forces.
For patients with low median nerve palsy, it has been shown that the flexor digitorum superficialis of the long and ring fingers or the wrist extensors best approximate the force and motion that is required to restore full thumb opposition and strength. This type of transfer is the preferred method for median nerve palsy when both strength and ...
The wrist roller is a device designed for strengthening the forearm muscles together in a rolling-pulling motion. It consists of a bar of varying lengths, with a cord or rope attached, which the user rolls and unrolls. This is resisted by the weight of a mass at the bottom of the cord.
The first step in treating arthrofibrosis is appropriately directed physical therapy with a focus on icing and elevating and passive stretching exercises such as continuous passive motion (CPM). [3] Passive stretching can increase range of motion if conducted frequently and carefully so that tissues are not torn.

The extensor carpi radialis longus is a wrist extensor that is innervated by the radial nerve, [2] [3] from spinal roots C6 and C7. [4] All other major extensor muscles in the superficial layer of the posterior compartment (the extensor digitorum , extensor carpi radialis brevis , extensor carpi ulnaris , and extensor digiti minimi ) are ...
