56
Q

what happens during extension of the lumbar spine

58
Q

what is the normal lumbar flexion to hip flexion ratio

Q

what compensation happens there is limited hip flexion

A

greater flexion is required of lumbar and thoracic spine

Q

what compensation happens when there is limited lumbar flexion
