Overall Instability and SI joint Flashcards
Excessive movements of the spine that are within the active subsystem (muscular) control. For example, a gymnast has increased mobility but also has the strength and coordination to control the mobility. There are no aberrant movements present
hypermobility
sxs or components that provide stability to the spine
- Passive subsystem – the spinal column and its ligamentous support
- Active subsystem – the muscles and the fascial systems
- Control subsystem – neural system of balance, coordination, timing, firing
diff btwn hypermobile and instable
hypermobile they can still control
instable, there is uncontrolable laxity or abberant mvmt
The zone where there is minimal resistance to motion of a given vertebra
neutral zone
function of ligg
provide the most support to the spine at the end ranges of motion where they check excessive mobility
if there are deficits to the subsxs then what occurs
increased mobility
the spondys that cause lumbar instability
spondylolysis and spondylolythesis
a displaced spondylolysis
spondylolysthesis
post oblique connection
glut max and lat contraction compresses SI
b) The biceps femoris can control the degree of sacral nutation through the ___
STL
the inner unit muscles consist of
Pelvic floor
Transversus abdominis
Multifidus
Diaphragm
the deep longitudinal group consists of
erector spinae
thoracodorsal fascia
sacrotuberous ligament
biceps femoris
the ant oblique muscles consist of
EO
IO
abd fascia
(these are quiet in sitting with legs crossed)
what are inhibitied when SIJ is unstable
glut min and med (the laterals)
purpose of inner unit muscles
stiffen spine to prepare body for mvmt
largest and most medial lumbar muscle
multifidus
L1 multifidi attachments
L4, L5, S1 & I.C.
L2 multifidi attachments
L5, S1, PSIS
L3 multifidi attachments
S1 SAP, lat. S1 & S2
L4 multifidi attachments
Lat. sacral crest to dorsal sacral foramen
L5 multifidi attachments
Inter. sacral crest inf. to S3
what is the principal action of the multifidus
principal action of the multifidus is segmental control
also prevents forward bending force as abs rotate trunk
other jobs of multifidus
cessation of Er. Sp. firing during LS FB
increases the stiffness of spinal segments
fine tuner of spine (always on)
Agg factors: Prolonged postures (sitting, standing, bending, semi-flexed postures).
Forward bending, sudden unexpected movements
instability
