What are the big extensors of the cervicothoracic spine
semispinalis capitis
splenius capitis
splenius cervicis
What are the big (deep) extensors of the thoracolumbar spine?
multifidi
longissimus thoracis
iliocostalis lumborum
What are the big (superficial) extensors of the thoracolumbar spine
latissimus dorsi
fascia
what happens when areas of the body have excessive motion?
leads to traumatic patterns, pain
lumbars and cervicals are more likely
pain alters ____ and that stresses ____
pain alters mechanics and that stresses ill adapted tissues
The thoracic spine is…
more stable, therefore is less prone to aberrant motion and a degenerative cycle
what are usually tight in upper extremity movement dysfunction?
pec major/minir anterior deltoid subscapularis latissimus dorsi levator scapulae upper trap teres major SCM scalenes rectus capitis
what are usually weak in the upper extremity movement dysfunction?
rhomboids lower traps posterior deltoid teres minor infraspinatus serratus anterior longus coli longus capitis
What are some easy interventions for helping thoracic spine movement?
posture
breathing exercises
weight free/gravity free exercises
hyperkyphosis decreases?
scapular stability
cervical motion
respiration
hyperkyphosis leads to..?
shoulder pain
narrowing of joint space for movement
excess load on the ligaments in the shoulder
decreased shoulder strength
paradoxical breathing
use shoulders to breathe
diaphragmatic breathing
no overactivity of upper body muscles
what motor control exercises could we have a patient do?
trunk stability pushup
quadruped rollback
what functional pattern exercises are helpful for upper body mobility?
deep squat
in-line lunge
chop/lift
