82 SOME OTHER PASSIVE MOVEMENTS:
Rolling of the Head.
The patient sits, and the operator stands at the side of him.
One hand is placed on the forehead, the other below the occiput.
The head rests in the latter, which is kept nearly immovable,
Fig. 47.
while the former executes the movement. The hand placed under
the occiput confines the movement almost entirely to the occipito-
atlantal joint (fig. 47).
Turning the Head from side to side, and bending
it forwards.
The hands have much the same position as for circumduction
(fig. 48). During the side movements both hands are equally
active, while during the one in the mesial plane, the posterior
hand is principally used. Before the head is bent forwards it is
slightly inclined backwards. In both movements the hand on
the forehead makes light vibrations. These help to accelerate the
flow of blood from the head.
In all these movements the head is lifted up,—well seen in fig.
48,—before the exercise commences.
