Elements of static posture include: head tilt, shoulder levels, hip levels, knee position, ankle angles, foot position, muscle testing Elements of dynamic movement include: rotations at all the weight-bearing joints, range of motion, assessment of walking, running and/or athletic activities, exercise assessment/recommendations
