Parallel to the styloid processes of the radius and ulna: supination: across the ventral aspect of the forearm, proximal to the styloid processes of the radius and ulna, where the forearm is most level. Parallel to the styloid processes of the radius and ulna. Rom: wrist flexion (0-80 ): normal end-feel is firm: patient position: subject is in sitting, with the shoulder abducted to 90 .
