Stabilizations Flashcards
Deep muscles that attach directly to the vertebrae and control spinal stiffness
Local muscles
Large superficial muscles that cross spinal segments but are not attached to vertebrae
Global muscles
Rectus capitus anterior, longus colli, longus capitis
Local deep neck flexor stabilizers
Posterior suboccipitals, multifudus, interspinales
Local extensor stabilizers
Scalenes, suprahyoids and SCM
Global flexor stabilizers
Erector spinae, splenius capitis, levator scapulae
Global extensor stabilizers
If ____ muscles are inactive, ____ muscles alone are not able to stabilize the spine segmentally
Local; Global
Transverse abdominus, multifudus, quadratus lumborum
Local abdominal muscles
External oblique, internal oblique, rectus abdominus
Global abdominal muscles
Transverse abdominus has higher activation rate in ____ spine
Neutral
Joint capsule and ligaments are enough on slack to not affect motion
Neutral Zone
ROM repeatedly getting to the end of the neutral zone
Elastic Zone
Osseous structures, joint capsules and ligaments
Passive Musculoskeletal Subsystem
Muscles and their fascial bands
Active Musculoskeletal Subsystem
Neural and feedback system, motor planning
Control Subsystem
