free floating ribs and facets more sagittal
41
what is the breakdown of flexion in the thoracolumbar region
85 deg = 35 thoracic + 50 lumbar tension on capsule of apophyseal jt, interspinous, supraspinous, PLL and compression of anterior annulus
42
what is the breakdown of extension in the thoracolumbar region
35 deg = 20 thoracic + 15 lumbar tension on ALL, anterior annulus, capsule of apophyseal jt

FLX- 45-55 EXT- 15-25 RT- 5-7 SB- 20
46
how does coupling compare the cervical and thoracic spine to lumabr
lumbar coupling is inconsistent compared to cervical and thoracic
47
what is the arthrokinematics of the ribs during exhalation
upper costotransverse jt - ant RT lower costotransverse jt - sup glide produces thoracic flexion
48
what is the arthrokinematics of the ribs during inhalation
upper costotransverse jt - post RT lower costotransverse jt - inf glide produces thoracic ext
49
what happens when the pelvis has too much of an anterior tilit
increase in lumbar lordosis (extension) contraction of hip flexors and back extensors
50
how do we do a posterior tilt
contraction of hip extensors and abs
51
what structures resist tension at L5/S1
disc capsule of facets ALL facets - frontal plane iliolumbar lig create resistance force compression at L5/S1
52
what is the iliolumbar lig
inf aspect of L4-5 and quadratus lumborum firm anchor between L5 and ilium/sacrum
53
what is lumbar spine kinematics
3 DOF flexion 45-55 extension 15-25 RT 5-7 SB 20
54
what happens during flexion of the lumbar spine
inf facets slide sup and ant compression forces shift away from facets
55
how does the disc change in flexion
disc goes posterior
56
what happens during extension of the lumbar spine
inf facets slide inf and post increased contact and load on facets
57
how does the disc and foramina change with extension of lumbar spine
foramina size reduced and disc moves anterior
58
what is the normal lumbar flexion to hip flexion ratio
45 deg lumbar flexion to 60 deg hip flexion
59
what compensation happens there is limited hip flexion
greater flexion is required of lumbar and thoracic spine
60
what compensation happens when there is limited lumbar flexion
greater flexion is required of the hips
61
why is there a limited RT in the lumbar region
bony resistance due to facet alignment more than 3 deg per segment would damage facet surface and tear AF
