Rope turning. Tie a light rope to a doorknob. Stand facing the door. Take the
free end of the rope in the hand on the side of surgery. Place the other hand on
the hip. With the rope-holding arm extended and held away from the body
(nearly parallel with the floor), turn the rope, making as wide swings as
possible. Begin slowly at first; speed up later.
Rod or broomstick lifting. Grasp a rod with both hands, held about 2 feet apart.
Keeping the arms straight, raise the rod over the head. Bend elbows to lower the
rod behind the head. Reverse maneuver, raising the rod above the head, then
return to the starting position.
