Answer✔Resistive Range of Motion is when the clinician tells the patient to perform an action

pinpoint an exact muscle for testing while providing resistance.

3.) Anterior view - can watch their feet to see if they walk with their toes pointed way out forcing
stress medially or if they walk with their toes pointed in forcing stress laterally
4.) Lateral view - can watch their feet to see if they walk with the whole surface of their foot
touching the ground or if they walk more on their toes or heels
