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.
Full range of motion is described as being within normal limits, or WNL. Normal ROM for back flexion is 90 degrees, or bending forward to touch your feet.As with most movements, this type of flexion works in tandem with other joints, including pelvic rotation, so any limitation could arise from back or pelvis issues.ormal extension ROM in your back is limited to only 25 degrees. This range is similar to moving your trunk from the 12 o'clock position when standing upright to in between the 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock position when extended.
