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.
Internal rotation: 40 degrees Flex knee and swing lower leg away from midline. External rotation: 45 degrees Flex knee and swing lower leg toward midline. Knee Ankle: (next section) Hip: (previous section) Normal Ranges of Joint Motion: (beginning of chapter) Flexion: 130 degrees Touch calf to hamstring.Extension: 15 degrees Straighten out knee as much as possible.Internal rotation: 10 degrees Twist lower leg toward midline. Ankle Knee: (previous section) Normal Ranges of Joint Motion: (beginning of chapter) Flexion: 45 degrees Bend ankle so toes point up.Extension: 20 degrees Bend ankle so toes point down.lnar deviation: 30-50 degrees Bend wrist so pinky finger nears ulna. Hip Knee: (next section) Wrist: (previous section) Normal Ranges of Joint Motion: (beginning of chapter) Flexion: 110-130 degrees Flex knee and bring thigh close to abdomen.
