        describes this:
      
    <br/>

      
        take a one foot loop of stockinet that is draped over the patients proximal forearm which
      
    <br/>

      
        he keeps at 90 degr in his lap while he sits.
      
    <br/>

      
        You step into the loop and apply your weight to slowly pull down the humeral head 
        inferiorly.
      
    <br/>

      
        After a littel external rotation, you release the weight of your foot and the shoulder 
        slides back where it belongs.
