posture exercises Flashcards
the optimal position of the each part of the body relative to the adjacent segment and the whole body is what
posture
posture that produces increased tension in the support structure of the body and has an insuffiecient effect on the body support base is
bad posture
veretbrae column has 4 spinal curves in the sagittal plane
cervical lordosis -40 deg
thoracic kyphosis -20-45 deg
lumber lordosis-40-60 deg
sacral anterior tilt -40 deg
features of upper cross syndrome
cervical lordosis thoracic kyphosis foward head shoulder protraction scapula winging , abduct. rotate
the glenoid fossa becomes more vertical dues to what
weakness in the seratus anterior leads to abduction, rotation and winging scapula
in foward head the head weight falls what direction of the gravitational line
in font
the muscles that are stretched and weak in foward head
Lower cervical
Upper thoracic erector spinae
Scapular retractor muscles (rhomboids, middletrapezius),
Anterior throat muscles (suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles),
Rectus capitis anteriorandlateralis, longus colli,longus capitis).
expalin thoracic kyphosis
its the incraesed curvature in the thoracic region and the curvature incraeses by 40 years old
in the upper cross syndrome when the only the deep neck flexors are weak what muscles are tight
upper traps and levator scapulae
in the upper cross syndrome when the pectoralis major and minor are tight what muscles are weak
lower trpas
rhomboids
serratus anterior
correct positions for the bruger exercise
sit or stand chine tuck breathe through the abdomen externall rotate the arm shoulders should be put back
what muscles and ligaments are affected in the lordosis
abdominal
back
hip
what happens to the muscles and ligament in lordosis
imbalances and power losses
what factors also increase lordosis
elongation and excesive weight
what muscles are shortened in the lower cross syndrome
piriformis erector spinae illiopsoas tfl rectus femoris
what muscles are extended during the lower cross syndrome
external and internal oblique transverse abdominis rectus abdominis gluts maximus hamstrings
in kypholordosis what muscles are weak and tight in the upper cross syndrome
tight. ..upper traps and levator scapulae
weak. .deep neck flexors
tight ,,,pectoralis major
weak,,,rhomboid and seratus anterior
muscles affected in the lower cross syndomr of the kypholordosis
tight,,,,erector spinae
weak…abdominal muscles
tight…illiopsoas
weak,,,glut max
bennet protocol consist of
local mobilization
muscle re education
supporting the spine
limiting activities
functional scoliosis exercise include
segmental exercise includes,,,, symetric. strengthning . stretching
general ambulation … includes sports
structural scoliosis exercise includes
crawling
lateral flexion
stretching
for crawling exercises what position is the arm and leg moving in c scoliosis for strecthing
same side
for s scoliosis what position are the arms and legs for sretching
opposite side sare raised
for walking in c scoliosis and s scoloiois what direction is the movemnt respective;ly
contralateral
ipsilateral
