English term

drifts

English to Japanese Medical Medical: Instruments Rehabilitation
When an injured person tries to test his/her recovery, arm test is mandatory.

When he/she is asked to keep his/her arm in the designated position and he/she cannot, his/her arms drift, that means the arms do down lower.

I cannot find the Japanese proper words in such cases, as I am doing in English only when I got injured and was snt to a rehabilitation centre in Toronto, ON. Canada.

数日経過しただろうか やがてリハビリ担当(理学療法士)がやってきた。
ここでカラダの状態を実感することになる。
腕を上げようにも うまく上がらない。かろうじて耳や頭に手は届くが それ以上は支えきれない。
