English to Japanese translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / Rehabilitation
English term or phrase: drifts
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.
