I. Arms. - The patient sitting or lying. The patient raises his arms, the operator grasping the hands from behind. The operator presses the arms down, the patient resisting. The patient raises the arms, while the operator resists. Ten to twelve times. (Duplicated Active.)

In Fig. 103 is shown a form of depression and elevation of the arms in which the operator stands elevated in front of the patient.

II. Legs. - The patient lying flat on the back, grasping the bed or couch to keep himself immovable. The operator grasps the soles of the feet, thumbs inward. The movement is performed down and up with the knees turned out, the patient resisting in the elevation and the operator in the depression.

The movement is very effective and must be performed with great care. Six to ten times. (Duplicated Active.)

III. Leg. - In Fig. 104 we have demonstrated depression of the one leg, used for certain muscular affections in the thigh and around the pelvis.

Several movements belonging to the Swedish system have been omitted, as not being of much practical use.
