Recoil, hands reversed. Posterior, left--P. L. Recoil, hands reversed. Posterior, left, superior--P. L. S. Recoil, hands reversed. Posterior, left, inferior--P. L. I. Recoil, hands reversed. Posterior, superior--P. S. Heel contact. Posterior, inferior--P. I. Edge contact. Superior--S. Heel contact. Inferior--I. Edge contact. Right--R. T. M. (Same if R. S. or R. I.) Left--L. T. M. (Same if L. S. or L. I.) Anterior--A. No correction.

Second Dorsal

Posterior--P. Heel contact. Posterior, superior--P. S. Heel contact. Posterior, inferior--P. I. Edge contact. Posterior, right--P. R. Recoil. Posterior, right, superior--P. R. S. Recoil. Posterior, right, inferior--P. R. I. Recoil. Posterior, left--P. L. Recoil. Posterior, left, superior--P. L. S. Recoil. Posterior, left, inferior--P. L. I. Recoil. Left--L. T. M. (Same if L. S. or L.

Third Dorsal

Posterior--P. Heel contact. Posterior, superior--P. S. Heel contact. Posterior, inferior--P. I. Edge contact. Posterior, right--P. R. Recoil. Posterior, right, superior--P. R. S. Recoil. Posterior, right, inferior--P. R. I. Recoil. Posterior, left--P. L. Recoil. Posterior, left, superior--P. L. S. Recoil. Posterior, left, inferior--P. L. I. Recoil. Right--R. Pisiform single transverse (on left) (Same if R. S. or R. I.) Left--L. Pisiform single transverse (on right) (Same if L. S. or L. I.) Anterior--A. No correction.

Fourth Dorsal

Same as third Dorsal.

NOTE.--While the Recoil is here, the preferred move for posterior and postero-lateral subluxations, the pisiform double transverse or the two finger double transverse may be used if both transverses are palpable.

Fifth Dorsal

Posterior--P. Double transverse move. Posterior, superior--P. S. Heel contact. Posterior, inferior--P. I. Double transverse. Posterior, right--P. R. Double transverse. Posterior, right, superior--P. R. S. Double transverse. Posterior, right, inferior--P. R. I. Double transverse. Posterior, left--P. L. Double transverse.

NOTE.--The pisiform double transverse and the two-finger double transverse, apply force in exactly similar directions and may therefore be used interchangeably. The latter is preferable for children.

Posterior, left, superior--P. L. S. Double transverse. Posterior, left, inferior--P. L. I. Double transverse. Right--R. Pisiform single transverse (Same if R. S. or R. I.) Left--L. Pisiform single transverse. (Same if L. S. or L. I.) Anterior--A. No correction.

Sixth Dorsal

Same as Fifth Dorsal.

Seventh Dorsal

Same as Fifth Dorsal.

Eighth Dorsal

Same as Fifth Dorsal.

Ninth Dorsal

Same as Fifth Dorsal.

Tenth Dorsal

Posterior--P. Heel contact. Posterior, superior--P. S. Edge contact. Posterior, inferior--P. I. Edge contact. Posterior, right--P. R. Recoil. Posterior, right, superior--P. R. S. Recoil. Posterior, right, inferior--P. R. I. Recoil. Posterior, left--P. L. Recoil. Posterior, left, superior--P. L. S. Recoil. Posterior, left, inferior--P. L. I. Recoil. Right--R. Recoil (Same if R. S. or R. I.) Left--L. Recoil (Same if L. S. or L. I.) Anterior--A. No correction.
