During postural analysis you find that the client is having difficulties touching their toes. Which action have you asked the client to perform at the waist?
  1. Lateral Rotation
  2. Medial Rotation
  3. Flexion
  4. Extension
Explanation
Answer: C If a client is instructed to touch their toes in order to check their movement capabilities at the waist, the client is being asked to flex the waist or trunk of the body. Flexion decreases the angle or shortens the position between two points. The opposite of flexion is the movement extension which would bring the client into an upright standing position.
