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 range of motion (ROM) of a knee is that range (in degrees) from full extension to full flexion. Take a look at the full flexion and extension of these three healthy university students. You can easily see the amount of variation between them.Note that the middle one is a woman, the outer two are men. flexed knee is at about 140 degrees. It is a common misconception that 0-140 degrees is a normal range of motion, but most people have some hyperextension, too, taking their ROM into negative numbers. 1  normal ROM is usually minus 5 to 143 degrees in women.
