internally rotated knees (knock knees)
Lower crossed syndrome - Answer -a postural distortion syndrome characterized by an
anterior tilt to the pelvis (arched lower back)
Upper crossed syndrome - Answer -A postural distortion syndrome characterized by a
forward head and rounded shoulders.

Davies Test - Answer -Measures upper extremity agility and stabilization.
2 pieces of tape 36" apart on the floor. Most number of taps in 15 seconds, 3 trials
Shark's Skill Test - Answer -assesses lower extremity agility and neuromuscular control
OSHA starting position - Answer -1. Client stands on a flat, stable surface with feet
shoulder-width apart and pointing straight ahead.
2. The foot and ankle complex should be in a neutral position
3. Ideally, the assessment should be performed with the shoes off to better view the
client's foot and ankle complex.
4. The client should raise their arms completely overhead with elbows fully extended.
