Radial Deviation Strength

The Wrist Radial Deviation Strength exercise aims to improve the strength of your wrist, specifically in moving your hand inwards.

Grip a resistance band with both hands, or grip the band with one hand and have the other end of the band attached to a solid anchor point. With your palms facing downwards, and keeping your forearm still, move your hand inwards so that the movement is generated from your wrist only. Once at the end of the movement return back to the start in a slow and controlled manner. Do not allow the band to pull you back to the start, as it will require less effort from your muscles. You should feel the muscles and tendons on the inside of your wrist working to generate the movement.

Aim to complete the reps and sets as suggested in your free rehabilitation programme from our website.

If you find this exercise too easy try use a resistance band with a greater resistance.

If you find this exercise helpful, there are a number of other wrist strengthening exercises available on our channel.
