A PTA performs goniometric measurements on a patient rehabilitating from injuries sustained in a MVA. When measuring rotation of the cervical spine, which of the following landmarks would be the MOST appropriate for the axis of the goniometer? (Slide 99)

Determine the volume of H2S (at 375 K and 1.20 atm) needed to produce 55.0 g of S. Assume that there is excess SO2 present. 2 H2S(g) + SO2(g) → 3 S(s) + 2 H2O(g)

The stationary arm of a goniometer is place in line with the lateral midline of the humerus, the fulcrum is placed at the lateral epicondyle of humerus, and the movable arm is aligned with the midline of the radius, using the radial styloid process for reference. What motion is MOST LIKELY being measured? (Slide 48)

A 40-year old professor has a left upper trap strain. Left cervical rotation is painful.  What type of massage technique would be beneficial for this patient?
