Hey Guys- here's the lower extremity video I promised you all! Hope it helps!! This tutorial was done a bit slower than the rate you will want to go during your actual exam, so you can understand what is being taught and practice proper technique.
**For the exam, both upper, and lower extremities, including the vertebral column should be about 15 minutes total. So please keep that in mind while you are practicing.
Here is how you will be tested at the end of the semester, in this order:
