Case Study: A 68-year-old female presents to a physical therapy clinic with localized left-sided neck pain and stiffness, without any symptoms radiating into her upper extremities. She reports generalized mobility limitations, difficulty looking up to reach dishes from a cupboard, and morning stiffness that takes several hours to subside. The physical therapist (PT) attempts to assess the patient’s Atlanto-axial (AA) motion. What position should the PT position the patient to do so?
