Q; elementary backstroke

Anybody have tips on the arm pull for the elementary backstroke? Especially for easing strain on the elbows? I've found that oulling with closed fists helps, but want to make sure I'm not making any technical errors. I am back on crutches for my bad foot (old running injury), and so my other joints (esp. shoulders and opposite hip) are getting achy. Elem back is about all I can do for for a while. Thanks for your help.

    I was about 15 years old in 1972 and there might have been one foreign swimmer that use the double-backstroke. But in age group swimming it had disappeared by that time.
