normal people can pick up objects bend, but the illness can not bend the hip flexor knees, one hand on the other hand Qushi knee on the ground of things, call it test positive things picked up.

children can not stretch, may be allowed to prone, lift their feet checked by hand, normal spine naturally curved extension, and children with disease or spinal interbody fixation next to muscle spasm, not the waist extension.
