signs), which must be even more challenging

Not sure what this meant

So glad you found value in this assignment! You write so well. Thank you.

Excellent

Which muscles would tighten and which would become stretched?

Flattened lumbar curve; exaggerated kyphotic thoracic curve; spine is rotated to the right; left scapula protracted, upwardly rotated and slightly elevated

Do you mean that her spine is laterally flexed to the left? "Tilt" is typically used to describe the pelvis.

Not sure what you mean here and how this relates to body mechanics.

Leaning forward reduces weight on pelvis, leading to strain on the back muscles (erector spinae) which contract to counteract the force of gravity.

Which joints? What type of force?

piercing?

posterior

?

What is going on with the spinal curves? Cervical? Thoracic? Lumbar? Are the neutral, flattened, or exaggerated?

Punctuation

flexing his trunk

?

And position of the left UE.

I am concerned about the position of the left GH joint; if this position was prolonged with the humerus hanging over the back of the chair, it would compress the axillary artery along with the brachial plexus, leading to injury.

The spine is rotated to the left as well

Good point

Good observations!

I don't understand. Did you mean tilted posteriorly? Rotation implies a direction (right or left).

Excellent!

And lower back due to the flattened lumbar curve!

Good analysis!

To move, the upper extremities have to overcome the friction from contact with the surface.

Yes! More points of contact results in more stability.

what about the cervical region?

femurs are flexed?

Head is thrust forward

Did you mean to say the pelvis is neutral? I don't understand what "hips forward" meant.

I don't understand this part of the sentence.

Her wrists are resting on the tabletop, providing additional points of stability via contact with a stable surface.

When the head is thrust forward, it results in exaggerated cervical hyperextension...contradicting your previous analysis that her back is mostly straight

Femurs are flexed and slightly externally rotated.

Agree

Scapulae are slightly protracted and elevated. Don't know what forward hunch means in terms of scapulae.

Please read about the slouch/overcorrect technique.

Might not be a good idea to deliberately place your patient in a position which could result in harm...

What do you mean?

What kinds of forces?

Less easy to get out of due to the large base of support and added friction from contact with multiple surfaces.

The base of support is extended to the table since she is leaning her elbows and forearms on the stable desk.

flattened

Yes, I agree, BUT it results in neck hyperextension (which contradicts how you described her cervical curve, as normal).

The lumbar curve is flattened. To describe it as over-exaggerated implies that it is over-extended, because the lumbar curve extends the spine.

Yes! Good!

Not sure what this means.

Yes! Good analysis.

Which one is rotating inward? Judging by the position of his feet, both femurs are in neutral in terms of rotation.

also internally rotating

There is no such description. Do you mean a posterior tilt?

Could he still hover over the device with his scapulae retracted?

This does not make sense. His shoulders are rounded because the scapulae are protracted.

to which direction?

There are two naturally-occurring kyphotic curves--which one are you referring to? Is it exaggerated, flattened, or in its natural position? What about the other curves of his spine?

The trunk is flexed forward; I don't see extreme extension--I see flattened lumbar curve (you correctly identified), a relatively natural kyphotic curve (correctly identified), and exaggerated cervical lordosis with forward head protrusion (head thrust forward). Feet are neutral; femurs are flexed at the hips.

Scapulae are retracted in this position as she pulls the barbell close to her body.

What type of forces are acting on the vertebrae in this position?

Good observation, although this also means her cervical curve is exaggerated into extension while her head is thrust forward.

Outstanding!

Yes! however it is till somewhat unstable because the base is narrow and long.

splayed

Technically the tibia does not rotate with the exception of the screw-home mechanism; if it is rotating during knee extension to flexion, then it is rotating externally. The femurs do most of the rotation at the hips, which I think is what you were intending to describe.

Good reasoning!

Are they? If so, they expand the base of support. I am not sure you are correct but I can't see clearly due to the size of the picture. Also this contradicts your previous sentence

What kinds of forces?
