Q

Sacral sulcus

A

Space between spine of the sacrum and lateral sacral crest

21
Q

Sacroiliac joints are primarily strengthened by

A

Anterior interosseous and posterior sacroiliac ligaments
Accessory ligaments - sacrospinous, sacrotuberous and iliolumbar ligaments

22
Q

First ligament to become strained when lumbosacral imbalance is present

A

Iliolumbar

23
Q

Lumbar spine disks are

A

thicker anteriorly then posteriorly to maintain normal lumbar lordosis

24
Q

Pedicles of lumbar spine are attached to

A

Superior 1/3 of posterior surface of each lumbar vertebrae
They give rise to superior and posterior articular processes

25
Q

Both anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments attach where

A

Intervertebral disks

26
Q

Capsular and ligamentum flava is found where

A

between lamina

27
Q

How many transverse axis of the sacrum are there

A

3;
Superior transverse axis
Middle transverse axis
Inferior transverse axis

28
Q

The middle transverse axis of the sacrum is located in which plane

A

Horizontal plane

29
Q

The sacral base rocks anteriorly and posteriorly about what axis

A

Middle transverse axis of sacrum

30
Q

How many oblique axis of the sacrum are there

A

2

31
Q

How are the oblique axis of the sacrum named

A

According to the side of the body toward which the superior end of the oblique axis is located at

32
Q

The innominate rotates

A

Anteriorly & posteriorly around the inferior transverse axis of the sacrum

33
Q

True pelvic ligaments

A

Anterior sacroiliac ligament
Interosseous sacroiliac ligament
Posterior sacroiliac ligament

34
Q

Accessory pelvic ligaments

A

Sacrotuberous
Sacrospinous
Iliolumbar

35
Q

Anatomy of Sacrotuberous ligament

A

Forms medial border of greater and lesser sciatic foramen
Caudally it is connected with biceps femoris tendon
Anteriorly it is continuous with the falciform ligament which connects with obturator internus fascia
Gives partial attachment to piriformis
Landmark to find ILA

36
Q

Anatomy of Sacrospinous ligament

A

Divide greater from the lesser sciatic foramen
Partial attachment for coccygeal muscle
Prudendal nerve passes under it
Help locate ischial spine for proper administration of a prudendal block

37
Q

Anatomy of Iliolumbar ligament

A

Keeps L5 from sliding anterioly
Allows smooth symmetry of motions between sacrum and innominate while walking
Often 1st ligament to become painful and produce symptoms when their is a decompensation of the lumbosacral region
If irritated, may produce back pain but also hernia-like pain or symptoms in inguinal area

38
Q

Without strong ligaments in the lumbosacral region and sacroiliac region

A

Sacral base would rock anteriorly and apex posteriorly
Increasing lumbosacral angle

39
Q

What ligaments keep sacral base from rocking anteriorly

A

Sacroiliac ligaments and iliolumbar

40
Q

Movement of the sacrum about the sacral axes is produced by

A

Tension on the ligaments and downward effects of gravity upon those ligaments

41
Q

Primary pelvic muscles

A

Coccygeus
Levator ani and its divisons & subdivisions

42
Q

Secondary pelvic muscles

A

Piriformis
Obturator internus
Iliopsoas

43
Q

The narrowing of what ligament leaves the posterolateral lumbar disks weak

A

Posterior longitudinal ligament

44
Q

Non-Neutral mechanics

A

When range of curvature engages structures at the end of motion

45
Q

Which motion occurs first in neutral mechanics of the T&L spine

A

Sidebending

46
Q

Which motion occurs first in non neutral mechanics of the T& L spine

A

Rotation

47
Q

Somatic dysfunction in neutral mechanics of the T& L spine occurs typically over

A

4 vertebral segments

48
Q

Somatic dysfunction of the T&L spine in non - neutral mechanics typically occurs

A

In a single segment. Often at transition zone.

49
Q

What is spinal dysfunction?

A

When the spinal diagnosis does not fall into the fryette mechanical theory
