Abstract
It is with diffidence that I present this paper, because I have no doubt that many of you work on the same principle, using different techniques. I began to study this problem years ago, after frequently observing patients being instructed, ordered or implored not to raise the shoulder while abducting the arm. I made the same request, until I became convinced that the patient was being asked to achieve a mechanical impossibility. By experiment I found what appeared to me to be the best way of controlling the head of the humerus during the movement.
