The goal of the pressure is to feel for solid resistance rather than overpower the person. A basic test begins with the person holding an arm parallel to the ground with a straight elbow. The practitioner should stand close and apply pressure gently. Proper testing depends on controlled positioning, gradual pressure, and sensitivity to the response quality. The test should not be performed in a way that makes the person lose balance.
