Stretching and Bending at the Elbow-Joint.
The patient sits or stands. With one hand we grasp the
elbow, in order to command that joint, and with the other
the hand and wrist, as seen in fig. 65.
Here the movement is shown with the arm midway between
supination and pronation, in order that the supinator longus

resistance both at the bending and stretching, or the patient
makes the resistance in both movements.
Used for stiffness of the elbow-joint, muscular stimula-
tion, etc.
Stretching and Bending at the Knee-Joint.
The operator places the patient’s knee above his own thigh,
and lays one hand over that joint, and the other over the dorsum
of the foot (fig. 66). The patient extends and flexes his leg,
while the operator makes resistance. During the flexion of the
limb, the hand on the dorsum of the foot is placed behind the
heel and ankle-joint.
