Q

What is the relation of Six Layer model of back muscles to Extrinsic/Intrinsic catergories?

A
  • The superficial 3 layers are extrinsic (innervated by a branch of an Anterior Ramus or Cranial nerve)
  • The deep 3 layers are intrinsic (innervated by Posterior Rami)

Q

What is the difference between back sprain and back strain?

A
  • A back sprain is an injury to the ligamentous attachments between bone, usually the result of inadequate stretching before activity
  • A back strain involves excessive stretching and sometimes tearing of muscle fibers produced by an overly strong muscular contraction

(muscle tissue will spasm, or involuntarily contract, in response to injury and inflammation as a protective measure)
