Q

MOVEMENTS OF VERTEBRAL COLUMN:

A
  • Mainly dorsal, ventral and lateral flexion and rotation ( These movements involve bending forward (ventral flexion), bending backward (dorsal flexion), and bending sideways (lateral flexion). These motions allow you to bend your spine in different directions. Rotation refers to twisting your spine around its axis. This movement helps in turning your upper body from side to side. )
  • Limited in thoracic and lumbar region ( These areas have limited flexibility compared to other parts of the spine. They support the trunk and have more stability. )
