    Arm, Wrist, and Hand

    Uploaded by

    Béla Józsi
    This document discusses stretches for muscles in the arm, wrist, and hand. It explains that stretches should involve movements opposite to the muscle's normal movements in order to target specific muscles. For example, to stretch the flexor carpi radialis, movements of wrist extension and radial deviation should be used. The document also cautions that when a muscle is very tight, fewer simultaneous opposite movements should be used at first. A table then lists the muscles involved in various arm and hand movements.

    STRETCHING ANATOMY

    Arm, Wrist, and Hand Muscle Movements


    The stretches in this chapter are excellent overall stretches; however, not all of these stretches may be completely suited to each persons needs. The muscles involved in the various arm and hand movements appear in the table on page 52. To stretch specic muscles, the stretch must involve one or more movements in the opposite direction of the desired muscles movements. For example, if you want to stretch the exor carpi radialis, you could perform a movement that involves wrist extension and radial deviation. When a muscle has a high level of stiffness, you should use fewer simultaneous opposite movements (for example, to stretch a very tight exor carpi radialis, you could start by doing only radial deviation). As a muscle becomes loose, you can incorporate more simultaneous opposite movements.
