Lumbar Spine Flashcards
Origin of External Oblique
-Outer surfaces 5-12 ribs + costal cartilages
Insertion of External Oblique
- Linea Alba via Rectus Sheath
- Pubic tubercle to ASIS (Ing Lig)
- Ant 2/3 Iliac Crest
Action of External Oblique
- Trunk flexion
- Posterior pelvic tilt
- Lat flexion
- Contralateral rotation of the trunk on pelvis
Insertion of Internal Oblique
- Lower borders of 10-12 ribs
- Linea Alba via rectus sheath
- Pectin Pubis via conjoint tendon
Origin of Internal Oblique
- 2/3 Ing lig
- 2/3 ant iliac crest
- Thoracolumbar fascia
Action of Internal Oblique
Posterior pelvic tilt
Flexion
Ipsilateral rotation - trunk on pelvis
Lat flexion of trunk
Origin of Transverse Abdominus
Internal Surfaces of 7-12 costal cartilages
Thoracolumbar fascia
iliac crest
lat1/3 ing lig
Insertion of Transverse Abdominus
Linea Alba via rectus sheath
Pectin pubis via conjoint tendon
Action of Transverse Abdominus
Raises intra-abdominal pressure
Stabilising muscle of lumbar spine
Insertion
of Quadratus Lumborum
Med 1/2 lower 12th rib + Transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
Origin
of Quadratus Lumborum
Illiolumbar Ligament and Iliac crest
Action of Quadratus Lumborum
Muscle of Inspiration
Ipsilateral side flexion
Lumbar extension
Origin of Erector Spinae
- Illiocostalis , Longissimus, Spinalis
Lower six ribs and rib angles
Insertion of Erector Spinae
- T11-L5 spinous processes
- Supraspinous and Sacroiliac ligs
- Sacral crests
- Posterior part of iliac crest
- Iliac Tuberosity
- Inner lip of Iliac crest
Action of Erector Spinae
Bilateral - Extension and control of flexion
Maintenance of lumbar lordosis
Unilateral- Ipsilateral lateral flexion/rotation
Action of Rotatories
Bilateral contraction: Extension of thoracic spine
Unilateral contraction: Rotation of thoracic spine - Ipsilateral
