However in order to know whether the patient with limited ROM ,what are the measurements to get to know, including normal motion for this movement using measuring tape. There should be a readings to differentiate. Thank you..
There are no normative values for this method of measuring lumbar extension. There are normal values using other methods including goniometry and inclinometers. If you choose this method you would be using your measurement to document changes for a specific patient, but would be unable to compare this patient to others. We hope that is helpful and thanks for watching.
When evaluating end feel for the spine, it is more typically done on a spinal segment by spinal segment basis, because the motion is made up of multiple joints at each spinal level. As a general rule however the end feel for lumbar extension would be a firm end feel that results from capsular tightening at each facet joint. We hope that is helpful and thanks for supporting our channel.
There is no established norm for this measurement, therefore it would be used to measure a baseline for a specific patient and then to re-assess for changes. The important information is relative changes for a specific patient instead of a patient against identified norms. We hope that is helpful and thank you for watching.

can you provide the endfeel? thanks

what's the normal range of motion for this assessment?
