While the patient is in a standing position the examiner makes a mark approximately at the level of L5 (fifth lumbar vertebra).Two points are marked: 5 cm below and 10 cm above this point (for a total of 15 cm distance).
The Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) [1] [2] is a scoring and interpretive method to be used with the Rorschach inkblot test. [3] This system is being developed by several members of the Rorschach Research Council, a group established by John Exner to advance the research on the Comprehensive System, the most widely used scoring system for the Rorschach.

The straight leg raise is a test that can be performed during a physical examination, with the leg being lifted actively by the patient or passively by the clinician.

[citation needed] The meeting report evolved from the Yellow Book CD-ROM standard, which was so open ended it was leading to diversification and creation of many incompatible data storage methods. The High Sierra Group Proposal ( HSGP ) was released in May 1986, defining a file system for CD-ROMs commonly known as the High Sierra Format.
Cephalometric analysis depends on cephalometric radiography to study relationships between bony and soft tissue landmarks and can be used to diagnose facial growth abnormalities prior to treatment, in the middle of treatment to evaluate progress, or at the conclusion of treatment to ascertain that the goals of treatment have been met.
