(h) Left Oblique Stride Staxdixg.—The pelvic twist andright-sided sway being rigidly maintained, the left foot is placedabout two foot-lengths forward and a little outward. Upon this Fig. Trunk bending forward. log the greater part of the weight of the body is now allows a slight doT\mward tilt of the pelvis to the right, andlessens the left lumbar convexity (Fig. 149). The positions,attained by the progressive exercises to this point, being main-tained, the patient continues with— LATERAL CUEVATUBE OF THE SPINE. 207 (i) Trunk Bending Fokwaed.—In this posture, motiontakes place in the hip-joints only, as in the first exercise. Thisexercise further emphasizes the symmetrical position of thehead and neck, the left-sided inclination of the upper half ofthe trunk, the right-sided inclination of the lower half, the twistand downward tilt of the pelvis (Fig. 150). The return to theimproved standing position should be made in this order: (1)trunk raising; (2) replacement of the left foot; (3) return ofboth arms to the sides. This is done slowly and carefully bythe patient, who attempts to maintain the improved posture. The postures constitute a progression
