Answer 19

axis is under the ribs, moveable goes in line with mid axillary region (lolli)

Question 20

Explain tape measurements for lumber flexion

Answer 20

measure the distance btwn their S1 and T12 first, then have them bend, re-measure and take the difference.

Answer 25

axis is at S1, moveable arm is in line with C7

Question 26

Explain side bend ROM testing with tape for lumbar area

Answer 26

measure where their fingertips end (at thigh) as they stand still, then after they side bend retake measurements and do diff

Question 27

explain side bend ROM testing with inclinometers for lumbar area

Answer 27

they rest on S1 and T12

Question 28

all inclinometer body markers are at ___ and ___, except for rotation (lumbar)

Answer 28

T12 and S1, except rotation is T12 and T1

Question 29

explain ROM for spine rotation (not cervical) with tape

Answer 29

start with the pt holding the end of the tape at acromion, the tape is then drawn across the back to the opposing greater trochanter. Get their norm first, then have them rotate and retake measurements and get the difference

Question 30

explain ROM for spinal rotation with inclinometers

Answer 30

place at T1 and T12, have them bend forward until spine is parallel with the floor then rotate

Question 31

How to test rectus abdominus

Answer 31

like a sit up (no applied resistance)
Start with 5 and see if they can do it first (can they raise inf angle off of table) 5 is arms behind head
4 is if they can cross arms over chest
3+ arms at sides
3 can’t clear
2 neck coming off table

Answer 32

iliocostalis, longismus

Question 33

explain how to MMT lumbar extensors

Answer 33

pt is prone, hands behind head, pillow under abdomen, lower extremities extended.
you are looking for xiphoid to clear table
You are assisting (guiding with your hands) boobs and butt

Question 34

explain grading for MMT lumbar extensors

Answer 34

5: hands behind head
4: arms folded behind back, all sternum off surface
