what is there an increase of in the thoracic spine

A

lateral flexion and rotation

62
Q

where is the smallest intervertebral disc ratio

A

thoracic

63
Q

what does it mean if there is a small intervebral disc ratio

A

increase stability over mobility

64
Q

what is lateral rotation coupled with in the thoracic region

A

axial rotation

65
Q

what does rotation of the thoracic region cause the ribs to do

A

shift
posterior ipsilateral rib( more concave) and anterior contralateral rib (less concave )

66
Q

what ways do the ribs move if there is a right rotation of the thoracic region

A

the right ribs shift posteriorly and the left rights shift anteriorly

67
Q

which region has the largest vertebral bodies
