Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The closed pack position of the wrist is full extension. This is because all the wrist bones are in their most congruent position, providing maximal stability to the joint. Option A and C (15° wrist flexion and full wrist flexion) represent positions of maximal range of motion rather than stability. Option B (10° wrist extension) is closer to the closed pack position than option A and C, but still not as stable and congruent as the full extension.
