Question
Chapter 9, Problem 4AP
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why an individuals who work at desk all day often develop low back pain.
Concept introduction: Spine is made up of vertebral columns and discs that form curvature. Spine curves help to reduce the stress from the movement of the body and its gravity. Spina allows motion in all three movement planes. The range of motion is facilitated by the anatomical constraints that differ through cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine.

The facial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression. Severe deficits will be obvious in watching someone use those muscles for normal control. One side of the face might not move like the other side. But directed tests, especially for contraction against resistance, require a formal testing of the muscles. The muscles of the upper and lower face need to be tested. The strength test in this video involves the patient squeezing her eyes shut and the examiner trying to pry her eyes open.
