Tip of the Week Tuesday!

Composite flexion tightness is present if the difference between active wrist flexion and composite digit and wrist flexion is greater than 10 degrees. Effectively treat this condition by isolating the wrist muscles and re-establishing tenodesis. (See videos in comments.)

1. Gently wrap their fist in Coban, not as a stretch, but simply to hold the digits at the end range. Ask them to perform 2 minutes of gentle active wrist flexion and extension with the proximal joints stabilized on a wrist wedge.

2. While keeping the digits wrapped, have them perform passive wrist flexion for 2 minutes with a series of gentle 20-second holds.
