3A 13-year-old boy with a history of scoliosis presents to your office complaining of back pain. He states that this pain is worse with activity and prolonged standing. On examination you find that the area of greatest restriction is in the right lower thoracic region and the severity remains the same as you palpate laterally. There are several other regions of restriction which are moderate to almost just as severe as the right lower thoracic finding.

- BAssess for a rib dysfunction
- CScreen just the lower extremity

Based on Stile’s Area of Greatest Restriction (AGR) screening, which region should you further inspect for specific somatic dysfunction contributing to this person’s pain?
- AThe lumbar region
- BThe upper extremity
- CThe rib cage
- DThe cervical region
- EThe thoracic region

61A 23-year-old male presents to your office complaining of left upper-back pain. After a complete history and exam, you diagnose a T5 flexed, rotated and sidebent left as the reason for the pain. At the level of T5 on T6, what would be the first step you would do in order to treat this patient with facilitated positional release?
- AExtend T5 on T6 until it is neither flexed nor extended
- BRotate T5 on T6 to the left
- CFlex T5 on T6 to increase the thoracic kyphosis
- DSidebend T5 on T6 to the left
- EAdd a compressive force down to the T5-T6 segment
62A 43-year-old male presents to your office complaining of right mid-back pain. As part of your exam, you note a T8 transverse process is posterior on the right. With flexion, it becomes more symmetrical on the left side. With extension, the right transverse process becomes even more posterior. You decide to treat it by putting the segment into extension, left sidebending and left rotation. This is the starting position for which of the following treatment modalities for this somatic dysfunction:
- AMuscle energy
- BStill technique
- CFacilitated positional release
- DMyofascial soft tissue technique
- ECounterstrain
63You are evaluating a weight lifter who is complaining of a tightness in his triceps, an elbow extensor. You note his triceps to be in spasm and decide to treat by fully extending the elbow while the patient does nothing other than lie comfortably on the treatment table.

- APassive - indirect
- BPassive - direct
- CActive - indirect
