| Elevation AG (Position) | (S) Seated erect, arms resting at sides of body;(E) stands behind (S) toward side |
| Elevation AG (Stabilize) | Trunk stabilized against chair back |
| Elevation AG (Palpate) | Upper trapezius & levator scapula |
| Elevation AG (Observe) | Elevation of scapula as (S) shrugs shoulder toward ear |
| Elevation AG (Resist) | (E) hand over acromion & pushes downward toward scapular depression |
| Elevation AG (Substitution) | Pushing knees with hands |
| Elevation GD (Position) | (S) lying prone w/ head in midposition; (E) stands to side of (S)1 |
| Elevation GD (Stabilize) | Weight of trunk on supporting surface adequate stabilization |
| Elevation GD (Palpate) | Upper trapezius & levator scapula |
| Elevation GD (Observe) | Elevation of scapula as (S) shrugs shoulder toward ear |
| Depression AG (Position) | (S) lying prone w/ arm internal rotated & at side |
