Spine Flashcards
spinal column has what jts
1 intervertrebral jt; 4 zygapophysial (facet jt)
lumbar zygapophysial jts angled to allow
flex/ext and resistrict axial rot
C and T zygapophysial jts are angled to accomadate
axial rot
alantoccipital jt allows
flex/ext and slight lat flex
alantoaxial jt allows primarily
rotation
thoracic jts allow
moderate flexion, slight ext, moderate lateral flex, and rot
lumbar jts allows
flexion and ext, lat flex, and slight rot
lifting and bending involves compound movements of lumbar spine, pelvis, and hip action is called what
compound trunk extension or lumbopelvic rhythm
lumbar extensors
erector spinae and multifidus
hip extensors
glutes and hams
hip extensors and lumbar extensors work together to
actively rotate trunk through approx 180 degrees in sag plane
major cervical ant muscles
sternocleidomastoid, scalenes (ant, mid, and post), longus capitis, and longus colli
sternocleidomastoid, scalenes (ant, mid, and post), longus capitis, and longus colli muscle action for unitlateral contraction
laterally flex and rotate neck and head
On bilateral contraction of the ant scalene, longus capitis and coli, and sternocleido mastodi will
flex neck and head
origin scalenes
proximally to upper cervical transverse processes and distally to the upper 2 ribs
