Carrying the Arms forwards and backwards in the
horizontal plane.
The patient may sit with his back steadied or stand free.
He extends the arms forwards, with the noimal distance between
the hands. If he stands, he must place one foot forwards, the
length of an ordinary step, for security of the position. Made
in this way the movement is considerably stronger. The operator
standing in front of him places his hands as in fig. 63.
Fig. 63.
The patient carries the arms back under resistance, and resists
himself when the arms are brought forwards by the operator.
As we see from the course of the movement, it acts more
especially on the muscles passing between the shoulder-blades
and the humerus, but since the rhomboid and trapezius muscles,
starting from the spine, are nearly as much exerted in order

Made with both arms at the same time, it is distinctly a
