Question

when you find a rrr l3, you would expect to feel more joint restriction when palpating ______ on the spinous process.

a) left to right

b) right to left

Explanation:

RRR (Right Rotation Restriction) at L3 means the joint has limited rotation to the right. When palpating the spinous process, more restriction is felt when moving in the direction of the restriction, which is right to left (as this corresponds to attempting right rotation of the vertebra).

Answer:

b) right to left
