Deep back Muscles Flashcards
Splenius Capitis Origin
Spinous process of C7 (or T1)-T4
Splenius Capitis Insertion
Mastoid Process and lateral superior nuchal line
Splenius Cervices Origin
Spinous process of T5-T7
Splenius Cervices insertion
Transverse Process of C1-C4
Splenius Cervices Innervations
Dorsal Primary Rami
Splenius Cervices Action
Bilaterally- They extend the neck
Unilaterally- Rotate the head to the same side
Erector Spinae Muscle Groups
Iliocostalis (most lateral)
Longissimus (middle portion and the longest)
Spinalis (Most medial pf the erectors)
Innervation for the Erector Spinae Muscle Groups
Dorsal primary Rami
Bilateral action of the Erector Spinae Muscle Groups
- Extension of the Vertebral Column
- Maintenance of the erect posture
- Stabilization of the vertebral column during flexion, acting in contrast to abdominal muscles and action of gravity
Unilateral action of the Erector Spinae Muscle Groups
- Lateral bend to the same side
- Rotation to the same side
- Opposite muscle contract eccentrically for stabilization
