Student’s paper: God only knows answer
to these questions. Merry Christmas!
Professor marked the papers and
returned them to students. One had
message on it: God gets an A, you get F.
Happy New Year!
14. EVALUATION
CTM calculations for relative positions
HST= CT ear- CT shoulder
HAT =CT ear- CT ankle
SAT =CT shoulder - CT ankle
HPAT =CT hip- CT ankle
KAT =CT knee- CT ankle

Jack :what day is today, Harry?
Harry: You have got me, I don’t know
what day it is! …. Contd.
Well! Jacky why don’t you look at that
news paper in your pocket, that should tell us.
Jack: Oh, no , that won’t do us any good,
it is yesterday’s news paper!!

Some college students were taking an examination just prior to the Christmas vacation. This was an exam they hadn’t looked forward to, since they knew it would be tough one, it was!One student handed his paper with above remark.
Electrogoniometer to find out the position of the lower extremity joints in standing. NYPRS: Therapist observes the posture and puts the score for 13 criterias on score points 1, 3, 5.
These measurements can be taken with the help of carpenter’s trisquare in relation to a bak board where individual can stand facing his back towards the board.
CTM calculations can be done so as to find out the relative positions of the body parts. HST= head translation in relation to the shoulder, Hat = head translation in relation to the ankle, SAT= shoulder translation in relation to ankle, HPAT= hip translation in relation to the ankle, KAT= knee translation in relation to the ankle
C7 to PSIS total length. For IK spinal length is C7 to the junction of thoraco lumbar curve.
