what is the coracoid process and the clavicle

200

the knee is made up of what two bones

the femur and the tibia

300

These movements occur in the sagittal plane

What is flexion and extension

300

this is an exaggerated curve in the thoracic spine

600

This plane is divided into front and back 

what is the frontal or coronal plane

600

These are the secondary spinal curves

Analyze this person's position in the picture:


Tell me the following: what is going on with the lower body ONLY? what is overused, what is weak, How do we fix them(what do we lengthen, what do we strengthen)?

knees are going in, right hip sticking out

Overused: knee adductor muscles, hamstrings, calves, TFL, vastus lateralis

weak: hip abductors, quadriceps 

Strengthen: Hip Abductors, quadriceps (VMO)

lengthen: Hip adductors, calves, hamstrings
