  1. Hey Zac, can you please summarize the treatment plan in the debrief? Can you include the goal I believe was it left hip or shoulder ER with left foot forward etc. I got a little lost. Thanks.

  2. I’m pretty sure I’m a narrow, but I can fit my whole hand between my rib cage and ASIS on both sides. I do have a really long torso, but maybe there’s another explanation?

    1. Are you looking at the inferior thoracic aperture and top of iliac crest? Those are your markers.

    1. Could be wide? But hard to say without seeing. I trust the ISA first.
