its effect, because the fixed point above is moved.
Turning of the Trunk in the sitting posture.

feet fixed by some means, or an assistant must steady his knees ;
otherwise the movement is not confined to the trunk. He has
the hands folded behind the neck, sits with his back completely
straight, and with the head well back. The operator applies his
hands to the patient’s elbows (fig. 68).
The movement now begins, the patient turning towards either
side (the left in the figure), and resistance is made by the
operator with the left hand behind and the right one in front.
