Then the patient faces in the front of examiner and bends forward to see if the backis symmetrical: hump on one side shows the rotation deformity of rib and vertebra. Then check to see if the rotation deformity of lumbar vertebra exists. Also note whether shoulders on both sides is symmetrical,measurement of the distance between hypochondrium and hipbone on both sides. Measurement the distance between buttock cleavage and a plumb line dropping vertically from spinous processof C7,that indicates the degree of deformity. Then check range of motion of spine flexion, hyper-extension and bending laterally. Check the ability of flexion of all joints such as wrist is close to thumb, hyper-extension of finger , anti-flexion of kneeand elbow joint etc. Finally, it should have careful neurological examination, especially for the lower limbs. If the patients seem to have mucopolysaccharidosis disease,doctors should note on their palates. Doctors should pay attention to the cornea of patient withMarfan syndrome.
