Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the wrist moves towards the palmar surface, the angle between the palm and forearm decreases, which is defined as flexion. The other options (B) ulnar deviation, (C) extension, and (D) radial deviation, involve movement towards the ulnar side, away from the sagittal plane; movement of the wrist towards the dorsal surface of the hand, in the opposite direction of the sagittal plane; and movement of the wrist towards the radial side, away from the sagittal plane, respectively.
