B. Have a subject sit astride in a chair, facing its back, and hyperextend the spine as completely as possible. Report the shape of the spine from the side and compare the 3 regions of the spine with regard to degree of lateral flexion. Report the variations in spinal mobility at the different regions of the spine.

C. Have a subject sit astride in a chair with no arms, and laterally flex the spine as far as possible, first to one side then the other. Report the shape of the spine as seen from the REAR and compare the 3 regions of the spine with regard to degree of lateral flexion. Report the variations in spinal mobility at the different regions of the spine.

D. Have a subject sit astride in a chair (with no arms) with hands at the neck (as if doing a sit up), then rotate the trunk as far as possible from side to side. Report the regions of the spine as to rotating ability. Report the variations in spinal mobility at the different regions of the spine.

Exercise limitations associated with COPD - Emphysema

What would be tests and measures which would probably include resting and exercise measures that would be used to determine exercise limitations in a patient with COPD? How would I use the results of these tests and measures (like: intepert the results whether they be static or dynamic variables) to determine the physiological limitation to aerobic capacity and how this information would contribute to me being able to provide an appropriate exercise prescription for increasing aeorbic exercise capacity.
