Setup

Stand with your surgical elbow bent to 90 degrees and tucked at your side, holding one end of a cane or stick. Hold the other end with your healthy hand.

Movement

Push the cane with your healthy hand so the surgical forearm rotates outward, away from your belly, as far as comfortable. Slowly return.

Tip

Keep the elbow pinned to your side and your wrist straight — rotate, don't swing.
