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
sternocleidomastoid origin
proximally to mastoid process of occiput and distally to sternum and clavicle
Post cervical muscles
subocciptial muscles, splenius, and errector spiane
subocciptal muscles origin
upper cervical vertebrae to the occiput
subocciptal, splenius, and errector spinae muscles action
extend head when bilateral contraction latterly bend and rotate neck when unilateral contraction
lateral cervical muscles
lev scap and upper traps
lev scap and upper traps muscle action unilateral
laterally bend and rotate neck
bilat contract of upper traps
extends neck
lev scap origin
superiorly to transverse process of upper 4 vertebrae and infriolru to vertebral border of scapula above spine
upper traps origin
prox to occiput and spinous processes of cervical vertebrae and distally to clavicle and acroiom of scapula
Lumbar ant muscles
abs
rectus abd origin
pubic bone
rectus abd insertion
5th - 7th ribs and xiphoid process
RECTUS ABD muscle action
primary trunk flexor and tilts pelvis post
post lumbar muscles
erector spinae, multifidus, and intrinsic rotators
