Radial wrist deviation is a movement in the wrist, bending it in the direction of thumb
Moving the wrist back and forth in the frontal plane is known as radial and ulnar deviation.
The plane of ulnar-radial deviation refers to the movement of the hand towards the pinky finger (ulnar deviation) or towards the thumb (radial deviation) in the frontal plane. This movement primarily occurs at the wrist joint and is important for functions like gripping objects and manipulating tools.
Function: flexion and radial deviation of the wrist, along with other muscles which flex the wrist and radially deviate the wrist, weak pronation of the forearm along with other muscles which pronate the forearm and weak flexion of the elbow along with other muscles which flex the elbow
Trauma to the radial nerve of the brachial plexus can cause wrist drop. This nerve controls the muscles responsible for wrist extension. Damage to the radial nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis of these muscles, resulting in the inability to lift the wrist and extend the hand.
The two wrist extensors that follow the radius are the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis muscles. These muscles originate on the lateral side of the humerus and attach to the base of the metacarpal bones in the hand, allowing for wrist extension and radial deviation.

In your wrist it's the radial
The radial (and axillary) nerves are involved in wrist drop.
The radial artery is the one that is used to take a pulse at the wrist.

Some effective ulnar deviation exercises to improve wrist strength and flexibility include wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, and using a wrist roller. These exercises target the muscles responsible for ulnar deviation and can help increase strength and flexibility in the wrist.
A radial heart rate is one that is measured over the radial artery, which is easiest found in the wrist.
Function: flexion and radial deviation of the wrist, along with other muscles which flex the wrist and radially deviate the wrist, weak pronation of the forearm along with other muscles which pronate the forearm and weak flexion of the elbow along with other muscles which flex the elbow
