Posterior Abdominal Wall Muscles
- Psoas Major
- Psoas Minor

- Iliacus
Posts Major Muscle
PROXIMAL ATTACHMENT:
- Lateral aspects and Transverse processes of Vertebral Bodies of T12 - L5!!!!!

DISTAL ATTACHMENT:
- LESSER TROCHANTER of Femur (Via common Tendon with Psoas Major Muscle)
INNERVATION:
- FEMORAL Nerve
ACTIONS:
- Flexes thigh at Hip
Psoas Minor Muscle
PROXIMAL ATTACHMENT:
- LATERAL aspects of Vertebral Bodies of T12 and L1
DISTAL ATTACHMENT:
- PECTINEAL LINE (Superior Pubic Ramus)
INNERVATION:
- L1 and L2
ACTIONS:
- DEPRESSES 12th RIB
- FIXES 12th RIB (DURING DEEP INSPIRATION)!!!!!!!!!
a) Bilaterally: Assists with Trunk Extension
b) Unilaterally: Side Bends Trunk to Same Side
Quadrates Lumborum Muscle
PROXIMAL ATTACHMENT:
- ILIAC CREST and ILIOLUMBAR Ligament
DISTAL ATTACHMENT:
- Medial half of INFERIOR Border of the 12th Rib
- Tops of LUMBAR TRANSVERSE Processes
INNERVATION:
- T12 to L4
ACTIONS:
- Extends and Laterally FELXES Vertebral Column
- FIXES RIB 12 DURING INSPIRATION!!!!!
Posterior Abdominal Pain
- Psoas Major and Iliac Muscle have close relationships with many Abdominal Structures
a) Kidneys, Ureters, Cecum, Sigmoid Colon, Pancreas, Posterior Abdominal Nerves - Disease or Injury of these structures can be associated with ILIOPSOAS Pain
a) Iliopsoas Test is performed to HELP with Differential Diagnosis
Ex: Patient lies on UNAFFECTED Side and EXTEND OPPOSITE THIGH Against Resistance
Psoas Syndrome
PRESENTATION:
- Lumbosacral Pain
- Difficulty Standing up Stright
- Pain in the CONTRALATERAL GLUTEAL REGION
- Radiation of Pain down the LOWER EXTREMITY (Usually stops at the Knee)
May MIMIC Herniated Disk*
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS:
- Appendicitis, Colon Cancer, Diverticulitis, Hip Dysfunction, Salpingitis, ect
Blood Supply of the Abdomen
T12:
- Inferior Phrenic Artery
- Superior Suprarenal Artery
- Middle Suprarenal Artery
L1:
- First Lumbar Artery
- Inferior Suprarenal Artery
- Renal Artery (Right Renal goes BEHIND IVC)
L2:
- Gonadal Artery
- Second Lumbar Artery
L3:
- Third Lumbar Artery
L4:
- Fourth Lumbar Artery
L5:
- Common Iliac
- External and Internal Iliac
- Median Sacral
Respiratory Diaphragm
BORDERS (Peripheral Origins):
- Xiphisternal Joint
- Costal Margin
- Vertebral Body of T12
PARTS:
- Right and Left Dome
- Superior Surface can extend to 5th RIB!!!!!
Respiratory Diaphragm Cont
A) 3 Peripheral Origins Inserts on the Central Tendon:
- Sternal Origin
- Costal Origin
- Vertebral Origin
B) Right an Left Crus (Meet at Aortic Hiatus)
1) RIGHT CRUS
- Longer (forms the MUSCULAR Esophageal Hiatus)
2) LEFT CRUS
- Shorter, More Lateral
Caval Opening
Vertebral Level:
- T8
What is Coming out:
- Inferior Vena Cava
- PHRENIC NERVE!!!!
- Lymphatic from Liver
Esophageal Hiatus
Vertebral Level:
- T10
What is Coming out:
- Esophagus
- ANTERIOR and POSTEIROR VAGAL TRUNKS!!!!!!
- Esophageal Branches of Left Gastric Artery
Aortic Hiatus
Vertebral Level:
- T12
What is Coming out:
- Aorta
- THORACIC DUCT!!!!!
- AZYGOUS VEIN!!!!
Sternocostal Hiatus
- SUPERIOR EPIGASTRIC VESSELS!!!!
Arcuate Ligaments
- Posterior Origins of the DIAPHRAGM from ARCUATE LIGAMENTS:
a) Medina Arcuate Ligament
b) Medial Arcuate Ligament
c) Lateral Arcuate Ligament - Arcuate Ligaments form Openings for Posterior Abdominal Wall Structures:
1) Median Arcuate Ligament = AORTIC HAITUS
2) Medial Arcuate Ligament = GAP FOR PSOA MAJOR MUSCLE
3) Lateral Arcuate Ligament = GAP FOR QUADRATUS LUMBORUM MUSCLE
