Eli Yovits OTR/L, CHT on Instagram: "✨Wrist exercises with the mediball✨

☄️This is a 2 lb mediball. All exercises can be graded down by using a regular ball with no extra weight, or graded up by increasing the weight in the balance.

1️⃣Weight bearing onto the ball on a table with circles in both directions. You can get weight bearing benefits and some wrist extension

2️⃣Grade up by doing the same exercise on the wall. You need increased shoulder and wrist stability for this

3️⃣At the end of the last exercise, lock your shoulder and elbow and slowly roll your fingers down the ball until you have composite extension stretch. Now you have weight bearing, stabilization, and wrist extension stretch all in one!

Eli Yovits OTR/L, CHT on Instagram: "💥 Wrist/Forearm proprioception/stability exercises💥  Here are 2 simple exercises to promote wrist and forearm proprioception, stability, and strength.  1️⃣ Toss tennis ball in the air with the forearm pronated, and then quickly catch it with the forearm still pronated.  2️⃣ Hold tennis ball out with arm fully extended and forearm pronated. Drop the ball and then quickly supinate the forearm to catch the ball as it drops.   🎾These exercises are easily upgradable by utilizing a heavier ball - in this case a 2lb exercise ball to increase resistance.   🦴Although these can be used for a variety of diagnoses, I really like these when a patient is guarded and rehabbing from an injury like a distal radius fracture, because these exercises help force the pat Wrist Drop Exercises, Distal Radius Fracture, Forearm Workout, Stability Exercises, Hand Exercises, Exercise Ball, Simple Exercises, Hand Therapy, Tennis Balls
