Therapy for the extensor carpi ulnaris.

Starting Position: P: Supine; arm flexed approx-imately 90° and fully medially rotated; forearm pronated; hand in fuli volar and radia! flexion. T: Standing facing P’s right side.

Grip: T's right hand grips wrist and proximal part of P’s hand from the dorsal side. Ts left hand stabilizes P’s upper arm at the dorsal side just above the elbow.

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.
