ROM spine

Question 1

c.flex
c.ext

Answer 1

F= external auditory meatus
S=perpendicular or parallel to the ground
M= base of nares
ROM=45
tape measure flex
1- 4 cm
=marking lower edge of sternal notch and middle of tip of chin
= subject tuck chin and move head forward
=measure the mark at the end of ROM
=mouth closed during the motion
ext tape measure
= 18-22cm

Question 2

c. lateral flexion

Answer 2

F= C7 spinous process
S= spinous process of T
M= dorsal midline of head, occipital protuberance as reference
ROM=45
Tape measure
=10-13cm
=mark on mastoid process and lateral tip of acromion

Question 3

c.rotation

Answer 3

F=goniometer over the center of cranial aspect of head
S=parallel to imaginary line btn two acromion process
M= tip of nose
ROM=60
tape measure
=10-13cm
=mark tip of chin and acromial process
=subject turn head as far as they can from looking straight ahead

Question 4

TL, flexion extension

Answer 4

F= on the level of ASIS
S=lateral midline of thigh
M=lateral midline of trunk
ROM=flex 80
=ext 25
tape measure
=10cm
=mark C7and S2 spinous process
=ask for flexion or extension

Question 5

TL, lateral flexion

Answer 5

F=Over posterior aspect of S2 spinous process
S=perpendicular to the ground
M=posterior aspect of the C7 spinous process
ROM=35

Question 6

TL. rotation

Answer 6

F=over cranial aspect of the head
S=parallel to imaginary line btn two prominent tubercle on the iliac crest
M= imaginary line btn two acromial processes
ROM=45
