Body of Spine + Discs
What are the structures that make up the posterior elements of the spine
The vertebral canal, pedicles, laminae, & transverse processes
Superior angle of scapula
T2
Inferior Angle of Scapula
T7
Last Rib
T12
Iliac crest
L4
Differentiate between L5 and sacrum
L5 is mobile Sacrum is stable
Motions of Spine
flexion, extension, lateral flexion, & rotation
Cervical Spine ROM
flexion = 45° extension = 45° lateral flexion = 45° rotation = 60°
