The correct answer is option B) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are correct. To measure the flexion of the wrist, the goniometer should be placed with the fixed arm on the lateral surface of the ulna, the mobile arm on the lateral surface of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, and the axis on the joint line of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb. The ideal position for the patient is sitting with the forearm supported on a table and in supination, keeping the wrist and fingers extended. Precautions should be taken to avoid flexion of the fingers and abduction and adduction of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb.
