Abstract

<p>We report the case of a patient with spinal osteoarthritis, who had difficulty reaching down to perform weeding movements. The patient had a history of degenerative scoliosis and had undergone a posterior corrective fusion surgery. Therefore, it was difficult for her to recover spinal mobility. After her discharge following surgery, the patient could perform weeding (perform a downward reaching movement) while kneeling on one knee, but gradually lost this ability. To regain this movement, the patient was enrolled into a rehabilitation program where she performed weeding while kneeling on one knee with the right lower leg extended forward. Because the patient had difficulties with mobility of the spine, we focused on the range of motion of the right hip flexor and backward rotation of the right iliac bone relative to the sacrum to help evaluate the results of the therapeutic intervention.</p>
