Motions of the foot
What is dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion and eversion?
Show in a true AP tib-fib will show
What is a true AP shown, the joint will be closed?
Bony landmarks of the pelvis
What is the ASIS, symphysis pubis, iliac crest, greater trochanter, and the ischial tuberosities?
Pelvis rotation
What is the patients right obturator foramen closed, and iliac wing enlarged, so patient rotated towards the right?
