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.
The absolute ROM and percentage of full active lumbar spinal ROM used during the 15 ADLs was 3 to 49 degrees and 4% to 59% (median: 9 degrees/11%) for flexion/extension, 2 to 11 degrees and 6% to 31% (6 degrees/17%) for lateral bending, and 2 to 7 degrees and 6% to 20% (5 degrees/13%) for rotation.TUDY DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this investigation was to quantify normal lumbar range of motion (ROM) and compare these results with those used to perform 15 simulated activities of daily living (ADLs) in asymptomatic subjects.
