14Why does upper cervical motion differ from lower cervical motion?Segmental anatomy and functional head motion15How do the thoracic spine and ribs move together?Rib mechanics, rotation and breathing16How does the lumbar spine share load during movement?Discs, facets, muscles and movement variability17What does the sacroiliac joint contribute to load transfer?Pelvic ring support and measurement limits18How do you analyze a functional movement from start to finish?Integrate motion, forces, tissues and a useful taskKeep this question in mind
Can you describe what moves, identify what bears load and explain your assumptions without overclaiming a diagnosis?
