Q

What is expected motion loss in a patient with restricted capsular mobility atthe Left L2/L3facet?

A

Capsular restriction at lumbar limits upslides and gapping.

Left L2/L3 facet would be restricted in flexion, right SB and left rotation.

Q

What is a psychological effect of manual therapy?

A

We have found their pain and can reproduce it so this strengthens the THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE - possible placebo effect

Rotation and SB happen in opposite directions

27
Q

Coupled motions of mid cervical

A

Rotation and SB occur to SAME side

28
Q

Coupled motion of thoracic and lumbar
