7: Torso and Spine Muscles Flashcards
erector spinae groups
spinalis, longissimus, and iliocostalis
erector spinae group actions
spine extension, spine hyperextension, spine lateral flexion
erector spinae spinalis group location
off the spinous processes of the vertebrae
erector spinae longissimus group location
off the transverse processes of the vertebrae
erector spinae iliocostalis group location
off the ribs
erector spinae group that is the most medial
spinalis gropu
erector spinae group that is most lateral
iliocostalis group
3 sections of erector spinae spinalis group
capitus, cervicis, and thoracis
3 sections of erector spinae longissimus group
capitus, cervicis, and thoracis
3 sections of erector spinae iliocostalis group
cervicis, thoracis, and lumborium
capitus
head
cervicis
cervical vertebrae region
thoracis
thoracic vertebrae region
lumorum
lumbar vertebrae region
common erector spinae problem, lifting heavy weights without proper back support leads to the stretching/tearing of the ligaments and fibers from excessive extension or rotation of spine
back strain
very common health problem and the most frequent and most expensive of all workman’s compensation claims in the US
low back pain
During full flexion the erector spinae are ____. When standing upright the muscles are ___ and extension is initiated by the ____. This is why you should always lift with a straight back to avoid injury
relaxed, active, hamstrings
deep muscles of the spine (LIMIRSSS)
longus colli group, interspinalis, multifdus, intertransversarii, rotatores, semispinalis capitis, semispinalis cervicis, and semispinalis thoracis
Longus Colli Group AR
A: C-spine flexion; R: anterior c-spine
Interspinalis AR
A: extension (hyper); R: spinous process
Multifidus AR
A: extension (hyper), rotation to opposite side; R: transverse to spinous
Intertransversarii AR
A: lateral flexion; R: transverse process
very tiny muscles that connect from one spinous process to another
interspinalis muscles
connect between each transverse process
intertransversarii muscles
lies deep to erector spinae muscles and it connects from one transverse process to the nest spinous process
multifidus
