Q

Muscle: Movement of proximal attachment results in trunk rotation

A

Internal and External Obliques

20
Q

Muscle: Movement of bilateral distal attachment results in pelvic tilt

A

Internal and External Obliques

21
Q

Muscle: Movement of unilateral distal attachment results in rotaiton

A

Internal and External Obliques

22
Q

Muscle: Movement of bilateral distal attachment results in ANTERIOR pelvic tilt

A

Internal Obliques

23
Q

Muscle: Movement of bilateral distal attachment results in POSTERIOR pelvic tilt

A

External Obliques

24
Q

Describe which oblique is typically dominant and it’s implications

A

Interal Oblique

Why many people have a sligth anterior tilt to their pelvic posture

25
Q

Muscle: Main function is the provide stability of the lumbopelvic region and to prevent anterior shearing

A

Thoracolumbar Facsia

26
Q

Describe how the thoracolumbar fascia prevents anterior shearing

A

The TA attaches to the T/L fascia

The T/L fascia has layers of fibers in opposing directions

The load form TA is translation to the T/L fascia which due to its layers brings the spinous processes closer together preventing anterior shearing

27
Q

Muscle: Passively attached form spinous processes from T12 down

A

Thoracolumbar Fascia

28
Q

Type of Muscle: provides mobility

A

Global Muscle

29
Q

Type of Muscle: Provides stability

A

Local Muscle

30
Q

Type of Muscle: Response to pain with overactivation

A

Global Muscle

31
Q

Type of Muscle: Responses to pain with inhibition

A

Local Muscle

32
Q

Type of Muscle:

Rectus Abdominis

Internal/External Oblique

Erector Spinae

Lateral Quadratus Lumborum

Thoracic Iliocostalis

A

Global Muscle

33
Q

Type of Muscle:

Produce power

Transmit load

Provide overall trunk stability

A

Global Muscles

34
Q

Type of Muscle:

Multifidus

Diaphragm

Pelvic Floor

Transverse Abdominis

Medial quadratus lumborum

Lumbar Iliocostalis

Longissimus

A

Local Muscles

35
Q

Type of Muscle: Provde segmental stability

A

Local Muscles

36
Q

Describe how TA can be either a global or local muscles

A

If defined by its

attachment = local

function = global

37
Q

Muscle: Important when returning from trunk flexion

A

Gluteus maximus

38
Q

Muscle: Important for pelvic stabilization during weight bearing

A

Gluteus Medius

39
Q

Muscle: Funtions in hip extension, ER, ABD, and trunk motion

A

Gluteus Maximus

40
Q

Muscle: Functions in hip ABD, IR, ER, and trunk stabilization

A

Gluteus Medius

41
Q

5 Trunk Stabilizers

A
  1. Abdominals
  2. Obliques
  3. Paraspinals
  4. TA
  5. Multifidus
42
Q

2 Pelvic Stabilizers

A
  1. Gluteus Maximus
  2. Gluteus Medius
43
Q

Describe where trunk muscles are anchored

A

To the pelvis

44
Q

Describe excessive spine motion as compensation for hip extension weakness

A

The trunk compensates with excessive lordosis

45
Q

Describe excessive spine motion as compensation for hip abductor weakness

A

The trunk compensates with a side lean

46
Q

Describe excessive spine motion as compensation for trunk muscles weakness

A

The compensation is rotaiton at the pelvis

47
Q

Describe the TherEx Tx paradigm for trunk and pelvic muscles

A
  1. Flexibility - to prevent compensations
  2. Activation - to stabilize prior to strenghtening
  3. Strengthening
  4. Movement re-education
