What muscles comprise the Erector Spinae Group?
Spinalis
Longissimus
Iliocostalis
Erector Spinae Action:
Unilaterally: Laterally flex the vertebral column to the same side
Bilaterally: Extend the vertebral column
Erector Spinae Origin
Spinous process of upper lumbar and lower thorasic, ligammentum nuchae, spinous proces of C7
Erector Spinae Insertion
Various attachments of posterior ribs, spinous and transverse processes of T and C vertibrate and mastoid process of temporal bone
Erector Spinae Insertion
Various attachments of posterior ribs, spinous and transverse processes of T and C vertibrate and mastoid process of temporal bone
Spinalis Origin and Insertion
(Most midline) Spinous process to spinous process
Longissimus Origin and Insertion
(Middle muscle) Transverse to transverse and up to the mastoid process
Iliocostalis Origin
(Furthest out costal region) Common tendon and posterior surface of rib 1-12
Iliocostalis Insertion
Transverse processes of L 1-3
transverse process of lower Cervicals,
posterior surface of ribs 1-12
Transversospinalis Group
Multifidi
Rotatores
Semispinalis Capitis
Splenius Capitis
Splenius Cervicis
Multifidi and Rotatores Action
Unilaterally: Rotate the vertebral column to the opposite side
Bilaterally: Extend the vertebral column
Multifidi Origin
Sacrum and transverse processes of lumbar through C vertibrates
Spans 2-4 vertebrates
Rotatores Origin
transverse processes of lumbar through C vertibrates
Spans 1-2 vertebrates
Multifidi and Rotatores Insertion
