    Wrist Pronation (Active Range of Motion)

    Start with your right wrist. Repeat on your left wrist, if needed.

    1. Sit with your right arm against your body and elbow bent. Support your right elbow with your left hand.

    2. Hold your hand straight ahead, thumb up. Turn your hand to the left so your palm is down. Hold for 5 seconds. Then turn your hand back to the thumb-up position and relax.

    3. Repeat 10 times.
