You know that movement that keeps your arm away from your body when you use your bicep? My PT has told me that they will probably have to move my lat aroud for it to work. I was just wondering how you got that movement.

Yea my extension is working well. The index and middle finger go up better than the rest though. Still, I can't complain because my PT says it's one of the best Tendon Transfer jobs he has seen.
