when performing line analysis on lateral view look for these things:

Answer 6

changes in disc size and shape, changes in curves, look at IVF of motion unit, look for visual findings of biomechanical changes

Question 15

on AP view, segments that tip away are usually

Answer 15

problematic

Question 16

on AP view, segments that gradually level are

Answer 16

compensatory

Question 17

on AP view, a singular segment compensation may suggest

Answer 17

over compensation

Question 18

things that suggest subluxation:

Answer 18

repetitive instrumentation break, static palpation findings suggesting ligament damage, motion palpation findings suggesting fixation

Question 19

things that suggest compensation:

Answer 19

instrumentation heat swings, static palpation suggesting lack of ligament damage, motion palpation suggesting hypermobility
