Standing, sitting or lying supine
Lateral to the patient.
May I touch your forearm? ( or point to the demonstrated area ).
Please bend your elbow with your thumb pointing up (or demonstrate). Now hold in this position while
I push on your forearm.
With the patient relaxed, place the fingers on the lateral forearm. Guide the patient
to flex the elbow in a neutral position to radioulnar pronation and supination.
Provide gradually increasing resistance by having the patient ìholdî while you produce
a push on the forearm in the direction of elbow extension. Move the fingers distally
to follow the brachioradialis tendon and provide the same resistance.
