This document provides information about the anatomy and kinesiology of the wrist joint. It discusses the following key points: 1. The wrist joint is made up of the radiocarpal joint between the radius and carpal bones, and the midcarpal joint between carpal bones. 2. Ligaments connecting the radius, ulna, carpals and metacarpals provide stability to the joint. Muscles crossing the volar and dorsal aspects of the wrist allow for flexion, extension, ulnar and radial deviation motions. 3. Kinesiologically, flexion and extension occur in the sagittal plane around a coronal axis. Ulnar and radial deviation occur in the cor
