1 What is the normal range of motion for cervical flexion?
A 40-60 degrees
B 60-75 degrees
C 45 degrees
D 80 degrees
Why A is correct: Normal cervical flexion range of motion is 40-60 degrees. This allows the chin to move toward the
chest.
B — 60-75 degrees is the normal range for cervical extension.
C — 45 degrees is the normal range for cervical lateral flexion.
D — 80 degrees is the normal range for cervical rotation.
2 What is the normal range of motion for cervical extension?
A 40-60 degrees
B 60-75 degrees
C 45 degrees
D 80 degrees
Why B is correct: Normal cervical extension range of motion is 60-75 degrees. This allows the head to tilt backward.
A — 40-60 degrees is the normal range for cervical flexion.
C — 45 degrees is the normal range for cervical lateral flexion.
D — 80 degrees is the normal range for cervical rotation.
, 3 What is the normal range of motion for cervical lateral flexion?
A 40-60 degrees
B 60-75 degrees
C 45 degrees
D 80 degrees
Why C is correct: Normal cervical lateral flexion range of motion is approximately 45 degrees. This allows the head to
tilt toward each shoulder.
A — 40-60 degrees is the normal range for cervical flexion.
B — 60-75 degrees is the normal range for cervical extension.
D — 80 degrees is the normal range for cervical rotation.
4 What is the normal range of motion for cervical rotation?
A 40-60 degrees
B 60-75 degrees
C 45 degrees
D 80 degrees
Why D is correct: Normal cervical rotation range of motion is approximately 80 degrees in each direction. This allows
the head to turn side to side.
A — 40-60 degrees is the normal range for cervical flexion.
B — 60-75 degrees is the normal range for cervical extension.
C — 45 degrees is the normal range for cervical lateral flexion.
5 What is the normal range of motion for thoracolumbar flexion?
A 40-60 degrees
B 30 degrees
C 30-45 degrees
D 45-55 degrees
Why A is correct: Normal thoracolumbar flexion range of motion is 40-60 degrees. This allows forward bending of the
trunk.
B — 30 degrees is the normal range for thoracolumbar extension.
C — 30-45 degrees is the normal range for thoracolumbar lateral flexion.
D — 45-55 degrees is the normal range for thoracolumbar rotation.
