Hi, everyone!
I'm doing an URGENT translation from Catalán to English on Physiotherapy and the above terms come up. According to Eurodicautom, "carp" means wrist, but later another word crops up that also means wrist. So, I'm stuck. This is the list of contents of a course, so I have no further text. It is reffering to the UPPER part of the body, so it's not "ankle".
Many thanks for your help.
Margaret.
