150 CASES ILLUSTRATING THE TREATMENT.
I should wish to draw attention to the following points in
the accompanying illustrations of movements given during the
treatment of the above case. In fig. 76, showing petrissage at
the elbow over exudation there, it should be noticed how com-
pletely the position of the left hand steadies the arm.
I have treated fresh fractures round the elbow at once with
petrissage without causing the patient much pain, because
steadiness of the arm was thus secured.
In fig. 77 note the application of the hands for pronation
and supination of the forearm. The one grasps the elbow, the
other the hand, with two fingers passed down in front of the
wrist.
Fig. 78.
In fig. 78 we have the application of the hands for gradu-
ally breaking down a stiff wrist. Both hands are placed close
to the joint. Passive extension and vibrations are made as we
move it.
