Concave Convex Rule

In physical therapy programs, the convex-concave rule is often discussed in the context of joint mobilizations or manipulations. The rule provides guidance on how the shapes of joint surfaces (convex or concave) affect the direction of movement during joint mobilization techniques. Here’s a brief explanation of the rule in the context of arthrokinematics and physical…

Cervical Lateral Flexion

What is Cervical Lateral Flexion? The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae, and each vertebra is separated by intervertebral discs that allow flexibility and movement. Lateral flexion is one of the primary movements of the cervical spine, along with other movements such as flexion (bending forward), extension (bending back), and rotation (turning the head from…
