Q

Describe the 3 major points of the SCREW HOME MECHANISM

A
  • length of femoral condyles: longer articular surface on medial femoral condyle which facilitates the screw home mechanism
  • when extending, the lateral femoral condyle completes it articular surface while the medial femoral condyle is longer, so it keeps going past its articular surface, causing internal rotation of femur on tibia
  • the screw home mechanism provides stability in standing by tightening ligaments

27
Q

Describe the effect of IV disc height to vertebral body height ratio on movement

A
  • if high = high mobility/ low stability

- taller IV discs allows more movements as the bony vertebral bodies are less able to limit movement

28
Q

Describe the effect of the height of superior articular processes on movement

A
  • high superior articular processes limit flexion

especially in the thoracic region

29
Q

Describe the effect of Z-joint orientation on movement on the CERVICAL region

A
  • transverse plane

- allows all movements

30
Q

Describe the effect of Z-joint orientation on movement on the THORACIC region

A
  • coronal plane
  • resists anterior translation, flexion, extension
  • allows axial rotation, lateral flexion
31
Q

Describe the effect of Z-joint orientation on movement on the LUMBAR region

A
  • sagittal plane
  • resists axial rotation
  • allows flexion, extension and lateral flexion
32
Q

Describe the Vertebral body in weight-bearing

A
  • vertical and horizontal struts (trabeculae) within the vertebral bodies allows them to withstand compressive forces
  • vertical trabeculae is thicker due to weight-bearing role and horizontal trabeculae prevents vertebral body from bowing
33
Q

Describe the IV discs of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae

A

Nucleus pulposus (NP) in centre

  • majority (90%) water
  • deteriorate and dry-out with age

NP is surrounded by concentric layers of annulus fibrosus

  • 10 to 20 concentric layers
  • collagen type 1 fibres: all go in one direction
  • half of the layers run vertically to right and half to left (adjacent layers alternate)

Vertebral Endplates

  • begins as vertebral structure: hyaline cartilage on superior and inferior aspect
  • becomes more incorporated into annulus fibrosus
34
Q

Describe the IV disc role in weight-bearing

A
  • nucleus pulposus in incompressible
  • vertical compression of nucleus pulposus (decrease vertical height)
  • expands radially and exerts pressure on annular fibres
  • annular fibres contain collagen which resists tension
  • annular fibres exert pressure back on nucleus pulposus
  • nucleus pulposus and annular fibres share the load
  • pressure exerted onto vertebral endplates
  • transmits load to inferior vertebrae
35
Q

Describe the IV disc role in facilitating movement

A
  • the intervertebral disc interposed between two flat articular surfaces permits rocking of superior vertebrae and allows the compromise of movement and stability
  • deformation of the intervertebral disc contributes to intervertebral motion
  • high intervertebral disc height to vertebral body height ratio allows high mobility
36
Q

Describe the IV disc role in resisting movement

A
  • collagen fibres in annulus fibrosus resist tension

- in F, E, and LF the compression of intervertebral discs leads to restriction of these movements

37
Q

Describe PARS INTERARTICULARIS and its defect

A

Pars interarticularis = lamina between articular processes

defect:
- stress fracture can occur from landing in extension
- bilateral fracture can cause vertebral body to slide anteriorly

38
Q

A

36% = through vertebral bodies and discs

2 x 32% = through Z-joints on lateral sides of vertebral column

39
Q

Describe the vertebral artery

A
  • travels through transverse foramen from C1 to C6

- vertebral artery does NOT travel through transverse foramen, but instead behind it

40
Q

Describe the smaller, deeper axial muscles

A
  • close to joint and cross fewer joints = segmental control

- rich muscle spindles = proprioceptive role and segmental control

41
Q

Describe the larger, superficial axial muscles

A
  • greater PCSA, greater moment arms (leverage) = produce movements
42
Q

Describe 5 things that cause LUMBAR LORDOSIS

A
  1. Sacrum is titled anteriorly
  2. L5/S1 IV disc is wedge-shaped
  3. L5 vertebra similarly wedge-shaped
  4. Superior vertebra inclines slightly backwards
  5. L1 aligned vertically over S1
43
Q

Describe the role of the Iliolumbar Ligament

A
  • located between transverse processes of L5 to ilium
  • resists L5 slipping anteriorly on sacrum
  • resists all movements of L5 on sacrum
44
Q

Describe the structure & function of longissimus pars thoracis and iliocostalis lumborum pars thoracis

A

> Prime extensors of thoracolumbar spine due to:

  • large PCSA
  • large posterior moment arm
  • crosses many segments

Unilateral action= LF
Bilateral action = E

45
Q

Describe the structure and function of longissimus thoracis pars lumborum and iliocostalis lumborum pars lumborum

A

Unilateral action= vertical line of action = LF
Bilateral action= vertical line of action = E
horizontal line of action= posterior shear

46
Q

Describe the structure and function of Multifidus

A

Lateral view:
vertical line of action = E and maintains lumbar lordosis

Posteror view:
small horizontal line of action = axial rotation

47

A
  • hip flexor

- also, by flexing the hip it automatically comprises the lumbar spine motion segments leading to stability

51

  • primarily a stabiliser

- large moment arm for lateral flexion

52
Q

Describe the action of RECTUS ABDOMINIS

A
  • trunk flexion
53

Describe the action of TRANSVERSUS ABDOMINIS

A
  • increases IAP
54
Q

A
  • attach to lumbar transverse processes
  • envelope quadratus lumborum
  • posterior attachment for transversus abdominis and internal oblique
55
Q

Describe the posterior layer of thoracolumbar fascia

A
  • attaches to thoracic, lumbar and sacral spinous processes
  • encloses erector spinae group
  • laterally fuses with middle layer
  • blends with: erector spinae aponeurosis, latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus
56
Q

Describe the relationship between muscular co-contraction and stiffening of vertebral motion segment

A
  • contraction of muscles that act across vertebral motion segments improves compression across that joint making it more difficult to move joint = increases stability
57
Q

Describe the role of thoracolumbar fascia attachments

A
  • extensive muscular attachments into the thoracolumbar fascia which then attach to lumbar transverse and spinous process = motion segment stability
58
Q

Describe the role of the diaphragm in respiration and stability

A

= contraction of diaphragm pulls central tendon inferiorly

- in respiration (when abdominal muscles are contracted) = increase IAP

59
Q

Describe the relationship between IAP and stiffness of lumbar spine

A
  • increased IAP leads to increased extensor moment and increased force required to flex spine in lumbar region
    therefore, increased IAP leads to spinal stability by stiffening lumbar spine
60
Q

Describe the relationship between the pelvic floor muscles and trunk/spinal stability

A
  • pelvic floor resists inferior protrusion when IAP increases
  • IAP stabilises the vertebral column by creating force around the vertebral column
61
Q

Describe the relationship between increased IAP and stability of lumbar spine

A
  • increased IAP = more stability and support for trunk
  • this results in increased extensor moment and increased force required to flex spine
  • when IAP increases, it creates force surrounding the vertebral column, causing it to stiffen
62
Q

Describe the relationship between abdominal muscle co-contraction and stability of lumbar spine

A
  • one muscle contraction bilaterally or a muscle and its antagonist contracting simultaneously = this compresses lumbar spine, resulting in stability
63
Q

Describe the role of thoracolumbar fascia and stability of lumbar spine

A
  • when certain muscles contract and swell, the surrounding fascia tenses, increasing stability by resisting flexion and/or producing extensor moment
