- Inspect for straight spinous process
equal horizontal for shoulders, scapulae, iliac crests, gluteal folds
equal spaces between arms and lateral thorax
knees and feet align with trunk, point forward
from side, note curvature: cervical, thoracic, lumbar - palpate spinous process
- active range of motion
flexion
extension
lateral bending right and left
rotation right and left
