| Starting Position Start facing the anchor point. Feet are hip-width apart. One arm is bent 90° at the elbow which is kept close to the body. The hand points to the suspension point. The PT stands sideways to the suspension and keeps the Rotate under tension. | Movement While the upper arm is externally rotated and the forearm rotates away from the body, the elbow remains in its position. The PT gives in the resistance by slowly stretching his arm. By flexing of the arm and displacement of the weight the PT pulls the arm of the trainee back into the initial position. |
