[DOCW3]

While waiting on Annikan's return I prepared an outline of his posts to date on this subject. Would appreciate any corrections.

DRW

#1-Does the spine stay the same throughout the entire stroke?
#9-Evaluation is helped by examining the lateral (frontal), Anteroposterior (sagittal) and Transverse (horizontal) planes.
#20-Four sections of the spine change to maintain a steady pivot center
#23-Four sections of the spine are:
*Neck-Cervical
*Upper back-Thoracic
*Lower back-Lumbar
*Pelvis-Sacrum
#27-First study Pelvic and the Sacrum.....neutral position of pelvis is approximately 30 degrees.
-Anterior rotation (forward) of the Pelvis affects Lumbar motion.....Flexion at the right and left hip.
-”next few weeks...move slowly.....so none gets lost.”
#28-Use a qualitative instead of a quantitative approach.....describe instead of measure the motion.
-Use markers of major joints and draw plane and axis of rotation (red dots and yellow lines).
-”have some fun.”
#34-Rules of Structural Kinesiology in TGM photos
#35-What does the new joint locations (red dots) say about the motion of each spine section (black lines) and planes (yellow lines).
#36-The inclination of the torso is not the spine angle
-”study segment angles.”
#37-How does angle changes affect spine movement?
-Obvious that leg action influences the Sacral and Lumbar movements but what about other segments?
#43-”open your eyes and minds....language is universal in Academia.”
#47-Questions:
*What changes axis of rotation
*Does hip slide change axis tilt in more than one plane
*How does axis tilt affect the spine segments
*Does Flat Shoulder Turn and RST have different affects on the spine segments.
#48-Learn 6 simple movement in 3 different planes:
*Rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise
*Bend forward and extend back
*Bend to the right and to the left
#51-A basic description of the pelvis
#63-Throughout the swing lumbar spine changes are very slight-major changes are after the rise through impact.
#66/77-Thoracic spine changes more with a RST than with Flat....because the Shoulder Turn component is different....more flexion in neck and upper spine....in order to maintain visual centers of balance and rotation.
#72-study the colored lines
-Does the Thoracic segment bend right or left of the Lumbar segment when viewed at address, Top and Follow Through?
-”If you don’t see it....I’ll understand.”
