their forearm placed across the individual’s thighs and
their cephalad hand placed on the individual’s back to assist in reaching a 45 degree placement of their trunk for the test.

This test should not be performed on individuals suspected of having low back pathology). Description of Muscle Test:The individual is requested to rotate their shoulders and the practitioner would then place their cephalad hand on the individual’s shoulder and
request the individual to return to the upright position while maintaining rotation against the practitioner’s mild resistance.
