Questions and Answers

In postural assessment, what should be the position of the inferior angles of the scapulae?

  • At different heights, showing scapular asymmetry
  • Tilted posteriorly, touching the spine
  • Tilted anteriorly, creating an angle with the rib cage
  • Level, with no evidence of elevation, depression, or scapular rotation (correct)

    • What should be the alignment of the lumbar spine in a correct posture?

  • Straight with no curvature to the right or left (correct)
  • Curved forward to support the lower body weight
  • Curved to the right to compensate for shoulder tilt
  • Curved to the left to compensate for hip tilt

    • When assessing upper limb position, what is the desired space between the arm and body?

  • The same space on both sides (correct)
  • More space on the non-dominant side
  • No space on the dominant side
  • Space that increases during arm movement
