What wrist motion occurs as the wrist moves toward the thumb side in the frontal plane around a sagittal axis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radial deviation (also known as radial flexion) is the movement of the hand and wrist towards the thumb side, occurring in the frontal plane around a sagittal axis. This motion is opposite to ulnar deviation, which is the movement of the hand and wrist towards the little finger side. Flexion and extension refer to movements in the sagittal plane, so they are not the correct choices for this question.
