what is weak&loose flexors(Longus Colli/Capitis), tight extensions?
How can a book be used to measure leg length
have pt stand on the book with their shorter leg at a height their pelvis is level with the floor. measure the book height.
Normal ROM for head/neck rotation
80degrees
Full ROM in gravity minimized
2
Hyper extension caused by tightness in the quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles.
What is Genurecurvatum
2 reasons to perform the Thomas Test
What is anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis?
CMC Abduction Thumb
45
Shoulder extension

full ROM against gravity with minimal resistance
3+
condition where the spine realigns during trunk flexion.
What is the position of the DIP joint.
Hamer toe: DIP extended
Claw toe: DIP flexed
Measure leg length Functional
Umbilicus- med/lat malleolus
Internal rotation shoulder
70
less than 75% ROM in gravity minimized
2-
Condition where spine is misaligned laterally and does not realign regardless of the individuals position.
what is structural scoliosis?
Reason for True Leg length discrepancies
what is skeletal system (bone length)
Measure leg length TRUE
ASIS-MED/LAT malleolus
elbow extension
0
Females: 10-15 degrees
Full ROM against gravity with maximal resistance
5
Elbow carrying angle MALE: FEMALE:
Male:5-10 Female:10-15
Reason for Functional leg length discrepancy
What are factors besides bone length (muscular skeletal)
Measure leg length FUCTIONAL while STANDING
Compare ASIS to PSIS

flex 80
ext 70
More than 1/2 ROM against gravity
3-
