Скачать или смотреть Wrist Weight Bearing Test

In this video, I walk through a simple, underused wrist assessment that I was never taught at uni—but has become a go-to in my clinical toolkit.

🔹 We all know about grip strength tests, wrist range of motion, and grind tests.
🔹 But have you ever used a cheap pair of analogue bathroom scales to test weight-bearing tolerance in wrist extension?

💡 Here's what you'll learn:

Why analogue scales beat digital for live force feedback

How even a tiny amount of swelling can wreak havoc in the wrist

A practical way to measure how "happy" the wrist is to load

How to test grip strength in neutral, pronation, and supination for more meaningful comparisons

The value of using pain-limited loading as an objective data point

Why this test is a winner for telehealth – just get your patient to grab a bathroom scale!

This isn’t about replacing standard tests—it’s about adding one more tool to help guide return-to-play decisions, track rehab progress, and spot issues you might otherwise miss.

📏 Objective, simple, cheap. Give it a watch—and consider adding it to your next wrist assessment.

For how to apply this clinically in different scenarios, chuck out the below blogs for Ganglion Cyst and ECU Tendon Management (where supination/pronation positions start to matter).
