  1. Note. The first entry lists the mean maximum active flexion measured with the forearm prone followed by the degree of ulnar deviation at the flexion limit. Listed next is the mean difference in flexion between the prone and supine forearm postures followed by the degree of ulnar deviation at the flexion limit with the forearm supine. The final entry lists the degree of radioulnar deviation. ** p < .01.
