E1- Low BAck Flashcards
what horn does the autonomic nerves run through
ventral
what horn does the somatic motor neuron run through and where does it go
ventral
nerves going out
what horn does the sensory neurons run through and where does it go
dorsal
nerves run to the spinal nerves
what are the posterior elements of the vertebrae
transverse/spinous process, laminae, articular process
what are the pedicles
bridge that connects the posterior elements to vertebral body
what affects spinal curves and LOG
limb position, fat deposition, muscle strength, connective tissue extensibility, loads, vertebral bodies, shape of facets
what is the purpose of spinal curves and LOG
provides strength and resilience but vulnerable to shear forces at transitions
where is the axis of rotation in flexion and extension in the vertebrae
vertebral body
where is the axis of rotation in SB in the vertebrae
vertebral body and disc
where is the axis of rotation during RT in the vertebrae
spinal canal
what is neutral zone
the amount of intervertebral movement that occurs with the least passive resistance
what happens when neutral zone is increased
increased with injury or weakness of surrounding tissues
Neutral zone is a better measurement of what
instability
what is core stability
viewed as a segmental level or as a whole
what is marked or chronic spinal instability
further injury to local ligaments
injury to facets, disc, and nerves
loss of ROM
may need surgery
describe T2-9
downward pointing spinous process
facets are vertical - frontal plane
pair of costal facets
describe T1
full costal attachment and demi
describe T10-12
full costal attachment
describe the lumbar region
massive wide bodies- support
TP project lateral- 1- 4 thin, 5 strong
SP broad
mammillary process off sup articular surface on posterior side
what plane are better for L1-4
sagittal
what plane are better for L5-S1
frontal
describe the sacrum
base - superior
apex - inferior
sacral promontory - anterior edge
ala are wings
what does the sacrum do
transmits weight of vertebral column to pelvis
what forms the the SI joint
large articular surface articulates with the ilium
sacrum moving on iliac
