- Lie supine on the floor (on the back)
- Place the residual limb out to the side, so that it is even with the shoulder
- For below the elbow amputations, bend the elbow
- Place the other hand on the shoulder to keep it from lifting off the ground
- Rotate the residual limb so that the "hand" would move towards the feet. Hold for three seconds.
- Rotate the residual limb back so that the "hand" would move towards the head. Hold for three seconds.
- Relax.
