wrist manipulation

| First (so far only) on line description of wrist manipulation. "The manipulative maneuver is a thrust technique and was performed as follows. Each subject rested the forearm of his or her affected side on a table with the palmar side of the hand facing down (Fig. 2A). The therapist sat at a right angle to the subject's affected side and gripped the subject's scaphoid bone between his thumb and index finger (Figs. 2A and 2B). He strengthened this grip by placing the thumb and index finger of his other hand on top of them. The therapist then extended the subject's wrist dorsally at the same time the scaphoid bone was manipulated ventrally (Figs. 2C and 2D). This part of the maneuver was repeated approximately 15 times. This procedure was repeated about 20 times, alternated by either forced passive extension of the wrist or extension against resistance. The duration of an intervention session was 15 to 20 minutes. No restrictions in use of the arm were imposed. No previous descriptions of this specific maneuver were found in literature. We developed the maneuver based on the wrist treatment described by Lewit.15" |

The
trapezium, the scapoid and the lunate can be "moved"/"clicked"
relatively easily.
