Bending forward or rounding your lower back is called flexion. Flexion in the lumbar spine is primarily limited by compression of the intervertebral disks and tension in the ligaments that run along the back of the spine. The normal range of movement of lumbar flexion is 40 to 50 degrees.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.
If glenohumeral external rotation ROM is greater at 90 degrees of abduction than at 45 degrees of abduction, suspect a muscle flexibility deficit of the subscapularis Normal glenohumeral external rotation ROM is 90 degrees Glenohumeral Internal Rotation ROM Measurement Performance Cues: Stand above the patient Stabilize scapula in neutral - use forearm to prevent protraction Be precise with humeral abduction (90 degrees if possible) and horizontal abduction (maintain 0 degrees) Normal is 60 degrees of isolated glenohumeral internal rotation ROM Glenohumeral Flexion ROM Measurement
