Chapter 2 Lesson 4

Question 1

local muscular system

Answer 1

stabilization system -

Muscles that connect directly to the spine and are predominantly involved in LPHC stabilization

Question 2

global muscular system

Answer 2

Muscles responsible predominantly for movement and consisting of more superficial musculature that originates from the pelvis to the rib cage, the lower extremities, or both

Question 3

deep longitudinal subsystem (DLS)

Answer 3

erector spinae, thoracolumbar fascia, sacrotuberous ligament, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and fibularis (peroneus) longus

Question 4

posterior oblique subsystem (POS)

Answer 4

works synergistically with the DLS

both the gluteus maximus and latissimus dorsi have attachments to the thoracolumbar fascia, which connects to the sacrum

Question 5

anterior oblique subsystem (AOS)

Answer 5

transverse plane orientation, mostly in the anterior portion of the body. The prime contributors are the internal and external oblique muscles, the adductor complex, and the hip external rotators

Question 6

lateral subsystem (LS)

Answer 6

composed of the gluteus medius, tensor fascia latae, adductor complex, and the quadratus lumborum

Question 7

cumulative injury cycle

Answer 7

A cycle whereby an injury will induce inflammation, muscle spasm, adhesion, altered neuromuscular control, and muscle imbalances
