22
Q

Pronation/Supination Test?

A

Patient lying down with arm at 90 degrees. Hold elbow and wrist while asking to supinate/pronate. Elbow straight to test pronator teres

23
Q

How can you test the superficial wrist flexors?

A

Hands out in front, palms up, flex wrists to the ceiling

Inster: olecranon + posterior surface of ulna
Radial nerve

35
Q

Extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis test/

A

Make fist and bring backwards against resistance
