Discuss the ergonomics of brachium abduction, including the ideal brachial position (in degrees), one common circumstance that causes bodyworkers to operate outside of the ideal range, and one way to correct improper alignment of the brachium

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The recommended brachial abduction of 20-degrees may be exceeded when the client transitions from working on a lower elevation area (such as the posterior legs) to a higher part of the client (such as the gluteal area). This can be corrected by changing stance from direct to diagonal and/or by lowering the elbow to reduce the angle.
