lab measurements

Question 1

set up for lumbar spine flexion with tape measurement
tape measurement landmarks?

Answer 1

• flex trunk to the end ROM, determined by resistance to movement or compensatory movement
• measure the difference between beginning and end positions

superior point: spinous process of T12
inferior point: spinous process of S2

cm’s for recording number

Question 2

normal end feel for lumbar spine flexion

Answer 2

firm

Question 3

lumbar spine extension with tape measure

tape measurement landmarks

Answer 3

• extend the trunk to the end of the ROM, determined by resistance to movement or compensatory movement
• measure the difference between beginning and end positions

superior point: spinous process of T12
inferior point: spinous porcess of S2

Question 4

normal end feel for lumbar spine extension

Answer 4

firm

Question 5

what is the purpose of repeated extension in standing?

Answer 5

to promote centralization and restore lumbar lordosis

Question 6

what is normative value for thoracic rotation in childs pose? where is measurement taken?

Answer 6

no normative value

• use inclometer to measure on T1 rotate to ipsilateral side

Question 7

what is the set up for lateral flexion with inclinometer?
what is normal ROM?

Answer 7

place at T1 and S2. follow along level of spine.
take difference between the values taken
normal ROM: 20°

Question 8

what is the set up for lateral flexion osteokinematics with tape measure? what is normative value?

Answer 8

finger tip to floor (at sides)—> side bend —> take measurement again
no normative value

Question 9

What is set up of osteokinematic motion of extension with tape measure? what is normative value?

Answer 9

hands on posterior thigh. tips of middle fingers to floor. take upright position and take extension
difference of the values
- no normative value

Question 10

what is extension set up using incliometers? what is normative value?

Answer 10

T1 and S2. take standing numbers, take extension numbers - take difference
normative value: 15°-25°

Question 11

what is set up of flexion with tape measure?

Answer 11

tip of finger to floor
normal is tips touching floor

Question 12

what is set up of flexion with incliometers?

Answer 12

T1 and S2 (PSIS) take standing values, take flexion values = find difference
normal: 45°-55°

Question 13

what is normal rom for hip flexion?
what is normal degree of lumbar flexion?

Answer 13

• 70°
• 20°

Question 14

what is instability catch with aberrant motion?

Answer 14

not moving through sagittal plane. may have lateral deviation
