Prior to surgery there are tests that will be necessary in order for the surgeon to determine several things about your health including your gallbladder, it's function, and the presence and location of any gallstones. Tests that may be necessary include: 1  Abdominal Ultrasound. 2  HIDA Scan. 3  ERCP. 4  Bloodwork. 5  Chest x-ray. 6  EKG.
The lumbar spine can side bend about 20 degrees each way. The spine in your lower back, called the lumbar spine, can bend forward, backward and side to side. It is capable of a small amount of rotation as well.he range of motion, or how far your spine can move, is limited by the disks between the vertebrae, the ligaments that tie the vertebrae together and the orientation of the facet joints on the back part of the vertebrae. Muscle tension can restrict your range of motion as well.
Introduction to Spinal Rotation. Rotation is a basic spinal movement in which you turn the spine around itself (called turning around the axis, with the axis being the spine.) When you twist your spine, it also bends to the side as a secondary part of that action. This is due to the way the vertebra fit together.
