Question 15

Fryette’s I

Answer 15

When thoracic and lumbar spine are in neutral, the coupled motion of side-bending and rotation for a group of vertebrae occur in opposite directions

Question 16

Fryette’s II

Answer 16

When thoracic or lumbar spine is sufficiently flexed or extended, the coupled motions of side-bending and rotation occur in the same direction (single vertebral unit)
