wrist movement
Flexing your joint
Wrist movement is the motion of the wrist joint—bending, rotating, or flexing the hand relative to the forearm.
The term appears in sports instruction, physical therapy, and ergonomics: Proper wrist movement is essential for a good golf swing.
Repetitive wrist movement can lead to strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.
