Muscle controlling hip abduction are innervated at L4-S1
How is scoliosis named?

Clinical Presentation:
- Weakness / paralysis of one half of the face
Describe each of the following types of practice:
Massed
Distributed
Blocked
Random
Massed - rest time is much less than the practice time
Distributed - practice intervals in which the practice time is equal to or less than the rest time
Blocked - practice sequence organized around one task performed repeatedly, uninterrupted by practice of any other tasks; not related to the amount of time spent performing the task
Random - practice sequence in which several various tasks are ordered randomly across trials
Which location of pain is MOST consistent with bladder infection?
Suprapubic area
Lower back
Describe the appropriate method for MMT of the latissimus dorsi
- Prone position
- Palms facing upward
Gravity eliminated position: sidelying w/ the upper arm supported
Palms facing down (shoulder ER) would allow compensation w/ long head of triceps
