Which part of the humeri should be palpated during the back view analysis?

The olecranon process is a prominent bony landmark located at the proximal end of the ulna, which forms the bony part of the elbow. While it might seem like a suitable palpation point during a back view analysis, it is not the most relevant structure directly associated with the humeral assessment in this context.

In a back view analysis, the focus is on the position of the humerus and its relationship to the scapula and thoracic spine. The position of the humeral head is crucial as it helps assess the alignment of the upper limb and its implications on posture. When evaluating posture and alignment from a back view, palpating the humeral head provides insight into shoulder alignment and stability, influencing the overall posture and movement patterns.

In this scenario, recognizing the correct area to palpate is critical to delivering effective and targeted assessments within the Stott Pilates methodology.
