Dr. John Birknes of Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters Spine Program performs the Adams Forward Bend Test on a patient to give an example of proper testing for scoliosis.
Great explanation of how to have patient properly bend forward and what movements to watch out for to prevent false positives when assessing for scoliosis. Thank you!
It was uncomfortable, i was given this test in public school without parental consent. It should have been my parents responsibility not the schools. I was down to a bra at 11 years old for the first time in-front of a man i didn’t know. All that for something that affects no one.
I don't like this - this is a girl in puberty and the doctor is touching her way too much. He is treating her like you would treat a medical doll. It would be more appropriate and respectful to just point at the different body parts... also, he could have talked her through the demonstration in advance so she could change her posture accordingly e.g. when it came to possible artefacts. Apart from that, quite useful information.

Its better to try this test on people who have scoliosis..
Nice tips that may give a false positive. Thanks!
