Question 10 • Sports Medicine 1b

There are three different ways the vertebrae move out of position. Which is NOT one of these three ways?

Answer
A
posteriorly
B
anteriorly
C
medially
D
laterally

Explanation

Vertebral displacement is commonly described as posterior (backward), anterior (forward), or lateral (to the side). Medial means toward the body's midline, so it is not one of these three described directions. The correct choice is “medially.”
