Question 1

Normal determinants of single leg stance assessment

Answer 1

pelvis remains parallel to the ground (horizontal line between the ASIS) and the spine stays centered OR
the non-stance pelvis rises slightly and spine stays centered

Question 2

Normal determinants of rolling

Answer 2

reaching far upper limb across the body, simultaneously rotating the head, trunk, pelvis, and lower limbs w/o assistance of arms to push or pull

Question 3

Normal determinants of arms overhead

Answer 3

shoulder flexion to 180°, inferior angle of the scapula rotates toward the mid-axillary line

Question 4

Normal determinants of hand to scapula

Answer 4

hand reaches behind the trunk toward the opposite scapula or approximately 5 cm beneath it in full internal rotation, the wrist does not deviate laterally

Question 5

Normal determinants of hand to neck

Answer 5

fingers reach the posterior median line of the neck with the shoulder in full abduction and external rotation w/o wrist extension

Question 6

Normal determinants of squat

Answer 6

knees are positioned directly over the great toe at the end of knee bend movement and do not track forward over toes

Question 7

Skin screening

Answer 7

color (distal to proximal), temperature (proximal to distal), texture, moisture, turgor (skin elasticity), edema/effusion

Question 8
