Fig. 41 a. Starting Position.

Procedurę: Using this grip, T gradually and fully extends at P’s elbow and simultaneously draws the forearm in the ulnar direction.

Stimulation of Antagonists: T retains grip. T then asks P to move further in the direction of stretching, and resists that movement to stimulate P’s antagonists.
