Q

T7 decreased P-A extension, decreased left rotation, decreased right lateral bend. What is the listing?

A

T7 will not glide forward, so it’s stuck posterior. Spinous will not move right and superior (stuck to the left) therefore L. Cannot close down on the right side with right lateral bend and this is the opposite side of where the spinous is located (stuck) therefore I. The convexity is on the opposite side of the spinous, therefore must use transverse process. So T.

Q

What is anthropometrics (anthropometry)?

A

Refers to the measurements of the human individual. It was an early tool of physical anthropology to determine the variation in human structure, in identification, in
paleontology and in various attempts to correlate physical with geo-cultural and psychological traits.
