Pictured to the Left:
1. In this example the patient has one towel under is lumbar spine and he is trying to pull that towel out laterally. He is, therefore, stabilizing his lumbar spine by holding the towel stationary against his own resistance.
2.The second towel is wrapped under his lower thigh and the patient is pulling it upwards. He is resisting this challenge by activating his hamstrings and foot stabilizers. He is stabilizing with the hip, knee and foot stabilizers.
Pictured Below:
3. The patient now begins to move his free leg and a variety of positions to challenge the stabilization at the lower back and his left leg.
