Which ROM movement is described by the cue 'Rev a motorcycle'?

• A. Elbow flexion
• B. Wrist flexion/extension
• C. Shoulder rotation
• D. Finger flexion

Answer: (B)

Revving a motorcycle evokes moving the hand at the wrist to twist the throttle, which is a motion through the wrist’s up-and-down range. That describes wrist flexion (bending the hand toward the forearm) and extension (lifting the hand away from the forearm). The elbow and shoulder aren’t the primary joints moving here, and it isn’t about curling the fingers into a fist. So this cue targets wrist flexion and extension.
