On Left Arm Reaching vs. Right…
Why in the Wall Short Seated Reach exercise do you have the patient reaching with their left hand? It seems that in many of the other activities, right arm reaching is done. The reason for right arm reaching is to facilitate left AF IR while the reason for left arm reaching is to facilitate left posterior mediastinal expansion as well as right trunk rotation. You would typically start with reaching activity to the right because you want to first establish left AF IR before you begin incorporating right trunk rotation. In this activity, we are reaching with the left arm to promote left posterior mediastinal expansion as well as right apical expansion.
