Q

Thoracolumbar flexion:

Procedure?

A

Finger tip to floor:
Bend forward as far as possible while keeping knees extended and feet together.
Measure the perpendicular distance between the tip of the subjects middle finger and the floor
0.1cm for females
2.2cm for males

31
Q

Thoracolumbar extension:

Procedure?

A

Mark spinous processes of the C7 and S2 vertebrae. Use the tape measure to measure the distance between the two.
Then have the subject extend back as far as they can and measure the distance again.t hen take the difference between the two

32
Q

Thoracolumbar lateral flexion:

Procedure?

A

Finger tip to floor:
Have the subject stand with feet shoulder width apart and arms hanging freely at the sides of the body. Ask the subject to bend to the side as far as possible while keeping both feet flat on the ground with knees extended.
At the end of the ROM, make a mark on the leg level with the tip of the middle finger and use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance between the mark on the leg and the floor
