Chapter 1, Problem 21CT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The anatomical terminology to describe the body regions in which pain is experienced, and also the imaging technique to diagnose the spinal problem.
Introduction:
The terminology used to describe the body anatomy (body direction, planes, and surfaces) is called anatomical terminology. The imaging techniques like conventional X-ray, CT (computed tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), ultrasound, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are used for the diagnosis of a disease or disorder. The patient lifted heavy furniture and pain was experienced in the back of the right leg.

Where along the vertebral column is a needle inserted for a lumbar puncture? Which landmark can you use to find this level?
PLEASE provide citations in APA style.
Why would a spinal injury in the cervical region result in more extensive deficits in motor and sensory function than a spinal injury in the lumbar region?
d) Identify a passive tissue that could be exposed to continued plastic stress
(deformation). Explain the deformation process in relation to the type of stress
applied. This is often seen in persons with inactive dynamic spinal stabilizing
mechanisms who spend large amounts of time in a static posture.
