    This document provides instructions for examining a patient's postural alignment from different angles, including anterior, lateral, posterior, supine, and prone positions. It lists physical findings to look for such as head position, shoulder symmetry, leg alignment, and spinal curves. It also describes physical tests to perform like palpating the spine, plumb line tests, range of motion, and flexibility tests to evaluate for deviations from normal alignment. The examination is meant to identify any muscular imbalances or structural problems related to standing, sitting, and spinal posture.
