Patient is on the back with the arm flexed to take the strain off the tendon. The humerus is rotated forward by laying the elbow on the table and the hand flexed on the body. The thumb then takes a firm contact immediately under the slipped tendon and pushes upward, at the same time the humerus is rotated posteriorly by bringing the flexed arm up toward the head - even with the table. The contact is held and the arm is straightened out.
