From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

6 Consider therapist and self-release (IHP)

Psychoneurological affects (module 2 from science of medical yoga)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

6 Consider therapist and self-release (IHP)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

6 Consider therapist and self-release (IHP)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

6 Consider therapist and self-release (IHP)

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

6 Consider therapist and self-release (IHP)

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

NM has immense therapeutic application in the field of medical

therapeutic yoga within the context of asana

Neurophysiological effects in restoring homeostasis

Psychoneurological affects (module 2 from science of medical yoga)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

Psychoneurological affects (module 2 from science of medical yoga)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

6 Consider therapist and self-release (IHP)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

From Theory to Practice MTY Intervention

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

copyGinger Garner Living Well Inccopy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Practical Guidelines

1 Provide skin on skin intervention

2 Facilitate tonus decrease and reduce sympathetic tone

3 Attend to mask of face vitals skin temp and any histamine response and response to tx

4 Hold or apply treatment 120-300 seconds (Ajimsha et al 2014)

5 Consider high grade joint mobilizations and home programs in certain conditions (Jacobs amp Sciascia 2011)

6 Consider therapist and self-release (IHP)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

Address affected tissues that are short andor tight within a pose or breath

Note the primary shortened myofascia

Note both the agonist and the antagonists of the related joint

Note tissues that have higher density mechano-receptors (Schleip)

Slow progression through postures

Breaking down postures and breath techniques into multiple complex components for MFR

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

Psychoneurological affects (module 2 from science of medical yoga)

copy2001-2015 Ginger Garner

Two Precepts for adaption of neural tissue in response to treatment

1 The nervous system is susceptible to mobilization secondary to the development of tension or increased pressure within the tissue (for example intracranial pressure or intradural pressure) The pressure develops as a consequence of elongation and occurs in all tissues and fluids enclosed by and including the epinurium and the dura mater

1 Movement On closer analysis movement may be considered as gross movement or movement occurring intraneurally between the connective tissues and the neural tissues

Joint Function

Must first define

Closed kinematic chain ndash WB earth bound

Open kinematic chain ndash NWB airether bound

Open packed joint position

Closed packed joint position

copy2005-2013 Ginger Garner

Open Packed Joint Position

Facet (spine) midway between flexion and extension

Sacroiliac counternutation (not locked not able to withstand shear forces in this position only restraint is the long dorsal sacroiliac ligament)

TMJ mouth slightly open

Glenohumeral 55 degrees abduction 30 degrees horizontal adduction

Acromioclavicular physiological position resting

Sternoclavicular physiological position resting

Ulnohumeral (elbow) 70 degrees flexion 10 degrees supination

Radiocarpal (wrist) neutral with slight ulnar deviation

Metacarpophalangeal slight flexion

Hip 30 degrees flexion 30 degrees abduction slight lateral rotation

Knee 25 degrees flexion

Talocrural (ankle) 10 degrees plantar flexion

Metatarsophalangeal neutral
