Term
Forward Bending
Definition
Anterior translation of IV joints

Facets upglide (B) -- superior member moves on inferior member

End feel: tissue stretch

Normal lumbar forward bend = 60 degrees

PLL limits
Term
Backward Bend
Definition
Posterior translation of IV joint

Facet downglide (B)

End feel: possibly bony with SP against SP, firm

Normal Lumbar BB = 30 degrees

Limited by: ALL, SPs
Term
Side bending
Definition
Ipsilateral downglide and contralateral upglide

--SB right = upglide on (L) and wonglide on (R)

End feel: tissue stretch

Normal lumbar SB = 30 deg

Limited by: iliolumbar ligament, contralateral intertransverse ligament
Term
Side Bending (T3 - S1)

first in neutral? second in flexion or extension?
Definition
When in neutral (non-fxnal) SB and rotation are opposite

When you side bend you will also have rotation in the spine
= L SB, R Rotation; R SB, L Rotation
Term
Rotation
Definition
Facets gap on ipsilateral side
=R rotation: facets gaps on (R) and compresses on (L)

end feel = tissue stretch

Not measured

Rotation increases with increased amount of flexion
