Q

Contraction of the classic multifidis will result in what movements of the vertebral column?

A

lateral flexion & rotation of the spine, maintains the lumbar lordotic curve and prevents entrapment of zygapophyseal capsular ligament during movement

21
Q

Contraction of multifidis cervicis will result in what movements?

A

alters the zygapophyseal capsular ligament response to load distribution determines the cervical spine response to injury as evidenced by neck pain and is a significant contributor to postural control of the head and neck

22
Q

Contraction of multifidis lumborum will result in what movements?

A

lateral flexion & rotation of the lumbar spine, maintains the lumbar lordotic curve and prevents entrapment of lumbar zygapophyseal capsular ligament during movement

23
Q

Which muscles of the spine exhibit a reversal of the expected origin - insertion combination?

A

iliocostalis lumborum pars lumborum, longissimus thoracic pars lumborum and multifidis

31
Q

Interspinalis is paired in which regions of the spine?

A

32
Q

Based on the density of muscle spindles what is the proposed function of the interspinalis?

35
Q

Which muscle group is innervated by both dorsal rami and ventral rami of spinal nerves?

A

intertransersarii

36
Q

Based on the density of muscle spindles what is the proposed function of the intertransversarii?
