What is the safest way to position the wheelchair for a patient with left-side weakness?

When assisting a weak patient, which technique should you use?

Why is it important to keep the patient close during transfer?

What should you do before starting the transfer?

Which side is considered the safer side to transfer toward for a left-weak patient?

Which action minimizes strain during transfer?

What equipment aids a safe transfer for weakness on one side?

How should you document a transfer safely?

If the patient resists, what is appropriate?

What is a sign you should stop the transfer?

spinal stabilization

valsava phenomenon

3 cardinal planes

vertical plane that divides the body into left and right components

vertical plane that divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) components expect in the thumb

horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower components

The center of gravity in the adult human body, when standing in anatomical position, is located approximately at:

What is the Vertical Gravity Line (VGL)?

a string which is anchored overhead and attached to a small weight form below

In an ideal standing posture (lateral view), the plumb line should pass through or close to all of the following except:

evaluation and treatment of a person by physical measures and the use of therapeutic exercise

normal posterior concavity (cervical and lumbar)

normal anterior concavity of the spine (thoracic)

A 70-year-old patient presents with a rounded upper back and complains of fatigue and mild back pain. The PTA notices a prominent thoracic curve. This most likely indicates:

Which curvature is characterized by an exaggerated inward curve of the lower back?

Which of the following can contribute to lordosis?
