Instructions

Dumbbell

  • Sit or stand comfortably with your forearm supported on a table or bench, palm facing upwards. Allow your wrist and hand to extend slightly off the edge of the surface.
  • Hold a light dumbbell in your hand with a relaxed grip.
  • Using your opposite hand, assist your wrist into full flexion (bending your wrist upwards).
  • Gradually lower the dumbbell by allowing your wrist to extend slowly in a controlled manner. Focus on resisting gravity as your wrist moves downwards.
  • Once your wrist is in a fully extended position, repeat the movement by assisting it back into flexion with your other hand.
  • Complete repetitions as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
