I consider these floor exercises especially useful, and, in prac-tice, add several others to those described by Teschner, viz.: 27. The patient lying as in Fig. 1-iO, lifts each fully extendedleg alternately a distance of about two feet from the floor, thenlets it slowly sink to its original position. Ten times. 28. Both limbs together. Five times. LATERAL CURVATURE OF TEE SPINE. 197 29. The patient lying extended in the prone position, placesthe palms of the hands on the hips and looks at the ceiling,overextends the spine as ninch as possible, then sinks slowly tothe original position. 30. Each leg fully extended is lifted upward alternately asfar as possible (hyperextension at the hips). Ten times. 31. Hyperextension at both hips simultaneously if times. When the patient has become proficient in these exercises,they should be done at home
