Standing, sitting, or lying supine
Lateral or anterior to the patient.
May I touch your forearm? ( or point to the demonstrated area ).
Now please turn your hand inward and outward (or demonstrate). I will look at these motions with your elbow bent
and with your elbow straight.
With the patient relaxed, gently place the fingers around the articulations of the radius and ulna. Either
guide or demonstrate motions and have the patient pronate and supinate. Observe the joint as pronation and
supination occur with the elbow flexed and with the elbow extended.
