thoracolumbar flexion alternate methods

- fingertips to floor (average: 0-2 cm) **this looks more at gross flexibility - inclinometer (T1/S2--range is the difference btwn the 2 numbers) (normal range: 60 deg) - percentages (% loss or % of motion)

Thoracolumbar Extension alternate methods

- goniometer - inclinometer (T1/S2, range is difference btwn the 2 numbers; normal range is 25 deg) - prone press up (suprasternal notch to mat) - percentages (% loss or % of motion)

Thoracolumbar Lateral Flexion alternate methods

- tape measure, fingertips to floor - fingertips to thigh

Thoracolumbar Extension (tape measure)

- use skin pencil to mark T1 and S2 (PSIS) - with tape measure, measure the distance between these 2 points standing up straight & then again with patient extended *subtract the 1st reading from 2nd reading **no normal value for extension

Thoracolumbar flexion (tape measure)

- use skin pencil to mark T1 and S2 (PSIS) - with tape measure, measure the distance between these 2 points standing up straight & then again with patient flexed *subtract the 2nd reading from 1st reading AVERAGE CHANGE: 4in. or 10 cm

Thoracolumbar Lateral Flexion ROM/ test position

0-35 standing; feet shoulder width apart

cervical lateral flexion ROM/ testing position

0-45 - sitting in high back chair, trunk stabilized

Cervical Extension ROM/ testing position

0-45 - sitting in high back chair, trunk supported

Cervical Flexion ROM/ testing position

0-45 - sitting in high back chair, trunk supported

Thoracolumbar Rotation ROM/ testing position

0-45 - sitting in a chair w/o back, feet on floor to stabilize pelvis

Cervical Rotation ROM/ testing position

0-60 - sitting in high back chair, trunk stabilized

Lumbar flexion--Modified-Modified Schooner test (MMST) average change

6.7 cm- 5.8cm

Thoracolumbar Rotation stabilization

pelvic hiking, pelvic rotation

cervical lateral flexion set up

axis: C7 stationary arm: thoracic vertebrae, perpendicular to ground moving arm: dorsal midline of the head using the external occipital protuberance as reference

Thoracolumbar Lateral Flexion set up

axis: S2 stationary arm: perpendicular to ground moving arm: spinous process of T1

Thoracolumbar Rotation set up

axis: center of cranial aspect of head stationary arm: parallel to the imaginary line between the 2 prominent tubercles on the iliac crest moving arm: parallel to the imaginary line connecting the acromion processes

cervical rotation set up

axis: center of the cranial aspect of the head (VERTEX) stationary arm: parallel to the imaginary line connecting the acromion processes moving arm: tip of the nose

cervical extension set up

axis: external auditory meatus stationary arm: parallel or perpendicular to the ground moving arm: base of nares

cervical flexion set up

axis: external auditory meatus stationary arm: parallel or perpendicular to ground moving arm: base of nares

axis: lateral pelvis stationary arm: perpendicular to floor moving arm: following midline of thorax

Lumbar extension--Modified-Modified Schooner test (MMST)

landmarks: S2 (PSIS) then 15 cm above measurement: difference btwn the superior and inferior marks in erect standing and in extension **no normal value for extension
