Flexing the hand away from the body
Wrist abduction is when the wrist moves away from the body, while wrist adduction is when the wrist moves towards the body.
The wrist is a synovial joint, specifically a condyloid joint. This type of joint allows for a wide range of motion in different directions, such as flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
The wrist joint primarily allows for flexion, extension, abduction, and circumduction movements. Adduction and eversion are not typical movements of the wrist joint. Adduction and eversion are more commonly associated with joints like the shoulder and ankle, respectively.
Yes but what may be surprising is that it is only moveable in One Plane, Flexion and Extension. It does appear able to be Abducted and Adducted as well as Rotated. The apparant rotation actually occurs in the Forearm and comes from Pronation and Suppination of the Radius and Ulna. The apparand abduction and adduction comes primarily from Intercarpal joints but very slightly from the wrist.
Yes, the wrist joint is formed by the ends of the radius and ulna bones of the forearm, along with the carpal bones of the hand. These bones come together to allow for flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction movements of the wrist.
Wrist abduction is when the wrist moves away from the body, while wrist adduction is when the wrist moves towards the body.
The wrist cannot perform medial flexion. The anatomical movements of the wrist mainly involve flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. Medial flexion, also known as ulnar deviation, occurs at the wrist joint and involves moving the hand towards the little finger side of the forearm.
The wrist joint allows for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction movements. These movements enable the hand to perform a wide range of activities such as grasping, holding, and manipulating objects.
Extension of the wrist is done by both the Extensor Carpi Radialis and the Extensor Carpi Ulnaris muscles, while abduction of the wrist is done by both the Extensor Carpi Radialis and Flexor Carpi Radialis.

An example of an ellipsoid joint is the wrist joint, which allows for a wide range of movement in multiple planes. This joint consists of the distal end of the radius bone articulating with the scaphoid and lunate bones of the wrist. The ellipsoid joint allows for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, as well as circumduction movements.
Rotating your wrist inward from anatomical position moves your pinkie finger toward the midline of the body. This movement is called adduction in medical terminology. Rotation of your wrist the opposite way so your thumb is far away from the midline of the body is called abduction.
The radiocarpal joint is a condyloid joint formed between the distal end of the radius and the proximal row of carpal bones. It allows for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction of the wrist.

None. Because the wrist is the joint of the arm and the hand.
