#multifidi

[drdemonprince]

you DO have muscles that're basically in your spine. you've got multifidi, which go between the vertebrae, and the erector spinae all connect close enough to be basically within the spine. but the bit of the spine that's visible on the surface is just your spinous processes. those sticky-uppy bits on the back of each vertebrae. and all that putting the tennis ball under them is gonna do is shove your skin down onto that spike of bone. pretty fuckin' pointless (oh hey, free pun!) feel free to get a smaller ball or small massage tool and put it RIGHT THE FUCK NEXT TO the pointy spinous processes, though! or see how close you can get with the tennis ball. I THINK probably not close enough without the stabby thing happening. but everything I say about your body without actually seeing/palpating it is a best guess!

this does sound lovely!

and also i do just want pain on my spine from the ball. that feels good to me yall

[jumbleverse]

as a massage therapist currently in college, I can say that yes massage isn't required but it does help speed up the process tremendously.

however if you have congenial kyphosis you're kinda just fucked.

uh, long rant under the cut if you feel like reading the crazed ramblings of a tired college student.

also latissimus dorsi doesn't really help with back posture; it's an arm movement muscle that inserts onto the humerus underneath the armpit. known as the handcuff muscle because that's what actions it helps your arm to do.

and trapezius is not solely on top of the shoulder like that; it spans all along the spinal column from the external occipital protuberance (EOP) to l3 (if I remember correctly), with the upper traps inserting on the lateral ⅓ of the clavicle. yes it helps with posture but the last image only shows it on the shoulders so I just wanted to say something about it.

also don't even get me started on the erector spinae... they are very much not only where the diagram shows.

iliocostalis spans across the medial posterior of the ribcage and spinal column (around t2-t12 I think) being the most lateral of the erector spinae.

longissimus goes all the way from the EOP to the sacrum and is by far one of the longest muscles in the body. it shows up on the back fairly well when it activates, actually, and is one of if not the prime agonist when extending the back.

and finally spinalis, which is basically the opposite of iliocostalis in that it doesn't attach to the ribs and is only around the spine. it's also the smallest and most medial of the erector spinae group.

there's also the rotators and multifidi, which are very important postural and rotator muscles in the spinal column as well, alongside the intertransversei (yes I'm spelling that wrong; I'm taking anatomy, not english) and interspinalis muscles from c1-c7 and l1-l5 (they are in fact not found in the thoracic spine at all) that help with stability.

and there's no mention of the anterior muscles at all aside from how they're antagonists of the posterior muscles!

there's nothing about the obliques, rectus abdominus, or the transverse abdominus muscles. y'know, the ones helping to pull on the ribcage causing kyphosis in the first place (I left out the intercostals because they're just rib muscles that don't do much at all with the spine).

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON FASCIA AND FASCIAL TRAINS

in conclusion, there's a lot of muscles that go into posture and stuff, and while yes this comic made as an excuse to draw a catgirl is correct, it's far from the whole story.

also I wrote this whole rant at 00:09 in the morning so fuck off.

If you cure hunchbackness you become cat girl!

A walking workout can strengthen your core? Absolutely, and here’s why:

If you control your breathing and intentionally contract key deep core muscles with your controlled breathing, you are not only creating a CALM SELF based on the effects of deep, slow breathing on the nervous system, but you are also improving your connection and the strength endurance of your core while you are walking.

I’ve had many clients who have completely eliminated their lower back pain by simply adding in core strength into their walking routine.

Why is this?

When you completelyexhale, like really completely, you have the opportunity of strengthening a deep spinal stabilizer called the multifidi as you move through your single leg balances… Which is ultimately what walking is….a series of quick single leg balances.

Activating this spinal stabilizer can make the difference between chronic low back pain and no low back pain due to the spinal stability effects.

AB-RIBBON 🎀: Many of my clients have benefited from wearing an Ab-Ribbon while walking in order to stay connected to breath control during the walks.

Simply tighten the ribbon on inhale and loosen it on an extended exhale… That’s it! I just uploaded new work videos on YouTube, so give the Ab-Ribbon a try alongside free workouts to strengthen your core today!

Are You Moving your Spine and Rib Cage Enough?

Yoga is a fantastic method to unwind your spinal column and also sustain liberty of activity in several instructions, at numerous speeds, as well as under different loads—something all of us need daily. To totally use your motion capacity, though, it’s important to include other sorts of multidimensional motions to your arsenal, consisting of spiraling of your spine and a mix of side flexing (side flexion) as well as rotating your spine and rib cage.

Unlike typical twisting, a two-dimensional activity that takes place in one airplane (the transverse), spiraling is a three-dimensional activity that’s repeated in a balanced fashion. You circle your spine around and actively lengthen it up, and also after that you allow it recoil to its preliminary size. As you repeat these activities, you’ll promote healthy fascia (connective tissue) in your back and shoulders, between your stomach muscle mass, and all around your ribs.

Three-dimensional motions can additionally de-stress your shoulders and neck. Your rib cage is the base of assistance for your shoulder band as well as your head, and by enhancing the three-dimensional expansiveness of your thorax, you broaden that base. This means your shoulder blades as well as collarbones can relax a lot more conveniently on your ribs, which reduces the work of the linked muscle mass and also fascia. Much less help these myofascial frameworks means even more liberty of movement in your shoulders and also neck.

Yoga for Spine Mobility: Exactly How to Improve Your Series Of Motion

One of the most effective exercise combinations to support convenience of movement in your top body is practicing side bends in addition to moving your hips as well as spiraling your thorax in a sluggish rhythm. This lengthens and enhances all of your stomach muscle mass, as well as your spine extensors as well as rotators.

The prime movers include your interior and also outside obliques (stomach muscles that run diagonally and also fan around your upper body), your erector spinae (the iliocostalis, longissimus, and also spinalis muscular tissues that leave your spinal column like long, resilient cords), and the quadratus lumborum (a deep, square muscle in between your cheapest rib as well as the rim of your pelvis that is commonly limited).

The vibrant stabilization of your pelvis and also spinal column is supported by your pelvic floor and transversus abdominis (the deep abdominal muscle, in addition to its fascia, that twists around your midsection like a corset), your multifidi (deep core muscle mass that leave each side of your back and project in your back spine, or reduced back), and your rotatores (also much deeper muscle mass that run along your back and are most popular in your thoracic spine, or midback). In this series, the quadratus lumborum is actively extended, enhanced, softened, and mobilized—exactly what it requires to enable adaptability as well as freedom of movement in the lower back, adaptability in the chest, depth of breathing, and connectedness of the legs and also spine.

Because the workout mix consists of hip expansion as well as hip flexion along with side bending of the spine in both directions, you’ll proactively lengthen as well as soften your hip-flexor muscles as well as their fascia. The hip flexors range from the within your upper legs completely to the beyond your hips (including the gracilis, adductor longus, adductor brevis, pectineus, psoas major, iliacus, rectus femoris, sartorius, tensor fasciae latae, and also gluteus medius anterior). Of specific significance is the psoas major, a hip flexor with a close connection to your diaphragm as well as kidneys. The psoas as well as diaphragm are linked via fascia. This way, your psoas attaches hip-joint activity and breath, which is crucial for ideal motion functionality on as well as off your yoga exercise floor covering.

Moving up your body, the muscular tissues throughout your shoulders are lengthened and strengthened when you side bend and also spiral. These activities strengthen your triangular muscle mass, which relocate your shoulder superficially, your potter's wheel cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis), which dynamically stabilize the head of your humerus (arm bone), as well as your scapular stabilizers (trapezius and serratus former).

And they lengthen your upper body muscular tissues (pectoralis significant and also minor), your widest back muscle (latissimus dorsi), and also his little bro (teres significant). When you get to ahead and down throughout a side stretch as well as spiraling workout, you advertise healthy and balanced fascial slide between your subscapularis (the potter's wheel cuff muscle that is on the bottom of the shoulder blade) and serratus anterior (a wide scapular stabilizer that followers from the bottom of the shoulder blade out to the ribs) and among your external as well as internal intercostals (muscle mass in between your ribs).  

Fascial Health in Spiraling Movements

Several fascial qualities are enhanced in this sequence: tensile toughness, versatility, move, kinesthesia (your motion sense), fluidity, and prerequisites for elasticity. When you actively extend a muscle mass, you also stress the linked fascia like a flexible band. When you extend the rubber band, you boost its tensile stamina and also make the tissue a lot more resistant and also secure. View the energetic lengthening in a side bend, then, as a method to enhance your fascia while enhancing your muscle adaptability. Think about it as myofascial toughness in size.

Fascial layers likewise move against one an additional, or they can stick as a result of lack of activity or injury. In spiraling or other multidimensional activities, fascial move is advertised to slowly release the tissue as well as potentially improve your general ease of motion.

Keep in mind that functional makeup is complex, and also the even more multidimensional the workouts, the a lot more complex and variable the interplay of muscular tissues and fascia. Some of the advantages are due to the mix of motions, not a private exercise. This sequence overall sets in motion more than 100 joints in your top body, which is not only important for your flexibility but additionally allows you to take deeper breaths and also adjust quicker when reaching, turning, and also bending.

Whatever style of yoga exercise you exercise or teach, make certain that the spine and also ribs are relocated multidimensionally. I urge you to try the exercises on web page 76 by themselves or incorporate them right into your asana practice (they make a great enhancement to Sun Salutations) to end up being a much more knowledgeable and adaptable mover. 

Torso and Shoulder Anatomy

[happyhealthblr]

Lower back pain is one of the most usual causes of job-related disability and why some folks miss work. It’s also the most common neurological disorder in the United States. At some point, roughly 80 percent of adults in Western countries have, in fact, experienced lower back pain.

For many fortunate individuals, pain in the lower back could possibly be solved by itself or with the help of medication in just two to four months. There are a number of instances of back pain that may last for over a couple weeks, during which event the condition is termed as chronic and progressive, meaning it can only grow worse over time.

Moreover, 60-80% of the patients that suffer with their first episode of lower back pain may experience recurring pain within a year.

Based on current research, there are certain muscles at the trunk that operate to stabilize the spine. After the back or the trunk suffers an accident, these muscles are inhibited or shutdown. Worse still, these muscles do not recover, and this can be the case even if patients are able to return to normal activity levels and do not feel pain.

As a result of the inhibition of these muscles, known as lumbar multifidi and the transversus abdominus, lower back pain happens. However, there are steps that you can take to avoid the thing.

Reduce Back Pain and Physical Therapy

One way to protect against the inhibition of this spinal multifidi and transversus abdominus is through a collection of physical therapy exercises.

Designed to strengthen the muscles of the lower back and keep the spine healthy, these physical therapy exercises can range from spine stabilization exercises to muscle power development and many large array of techniques.

In addition, a physical therapist can also recommend such methods as heat treatment, ultrasound, massage, mobilization, and education about posture and body mechanics in order to prevent lower back pain from recurring.

Some of those processes will be discussed later on. You will also find some practical tips supplied by specialists that will assist you avoid lower back pain or prevent the condition.

However, before we head on to understanding how lower back pain is healed through physical treatment, it is important that we first understand what causes lower back pain.

Lower Back Pain: causes There are actually many types of back pain, however, the most common is pain in the lower spine.  Why? You might ask. The reason is simple: you take most of your weight in the back. It is highly probable that a person would endure pain in that area.

There’s not any definitive reason for lower back pain. From time to time, the reasons for the condition are so complex that it is difficult to pinpoint a solitary one.

Reduce Back Pain and Physical Therapy Exercise Physical treatment exercise is just one of the most common procedures of treating lower back pain.  Since the theory is that in case you stay active, you remain healthy in fact, many home remedies for back pain consist of exercise. This is true generally.

ILIOLUMBAR LIGAMENTS VS. SCIATIC NERVE ENTRAPMENT ⠀ The primary role of the iliolumbar ligaments (ILL) is to prevent excessive lumbar sidebending, but these ligaments can contribute to sciatic nerve (SN) entrapment when injured. ⠀ A traumatic event such as a bending and twisting maneuver while attempting to lift a heavy object, may strain the ILL and their multifidi neighbors (Pic 1/2/3). ⠀ As the ILL weaken, they lose the ability to prevent the fifth lumbar vertebra from shifting forward on the sacrum which may cause contralateral narrowing of the intervertebral foramen, facet arthrosis and possible SN entrapment. Corrective exercises such as planks and bird-dogs may, in time, restore strength and stability to these stretch-weakened ligaments. ⠀ In extreme cases, slippage of the fourth or fifth lumbar vertebra may result in spondylolisthesis, where the pars interarticularis cracks from excessive pressure, allowing SN entrapment on one or both sides (Pic 4). ⠀ Yet, one of the lesser-appreciated areas for SN occlusion lies beneath the anterior ILL. First discovered by famed anatomists Drs. Philip Hanson and Bill Sonesson, notice in Pic 5, how these taut bands on the anterior surface form “fascial hoods” over the L4 and L5 nerve roots. ⠀ Once the greater SN leaves the spine, it must traverse through these taut bands. In a nicely aligned pelvis, this usually presents no compression problems. But visualize how a torsioned pelvic bowl could bind the anterior ILL against the pelvic bowl occluding the underlying SN roots (Pic 6). ⠀ In the beginning, the client may or may not experience symptoms depending on the brain’s perception of the degree of threat. However, prolonged nerve root compression may begin to obstruct axoplasmic transport of proteins and other cell parts to and from the neuron’s cell body. Clinically, this breakdown of nerve conduction may lead to what Harvard University plastic surgeons Albert Upton and Alan McComas called “double crush syndrome.” ⠀ This term refers to scenarios where compressed axons at one site cause the nerve to become especially susceptible to damage at another site, such as under the piriformis muscle. ⠀ Credit: @DaltonMyoskeletal (hier: Frankfurt, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5fGyVXobzk/?igshid=1o58ik39wnrx8

The Mighty Multifidus

The multifidi are important proprioceptive sentinels for the low back, as well as the rest of the body, for virtually every activity you do weight bearing, including gait. They are implicated in many instances of low back pain, especially folks with flexion or extension intolerance, since their fiber orientation and thus mechanical advantage (or disadvantage) is dependent upon whether or not you are maintaining a normal lumbar lordosis.

Modalities which boost their function are an excellent adjunct to the rehabilitation process. Since they are not under volitional control (go ahead, try and contract your L2/L3 multifidus), they are innervated by the vestibulospinal tract and we must use proprioceptive work to engage them. Dry Needling is one modality that can help them to become functional again.

RESULTS and CONCLUSION:

"Significant difference was found in the percentage of change of muscle activation post needling between groups on the right side at level L4-5. A slight increase in the percentage of muscle activity, post procedure was observed in the dry needling group compared with the control group, although not significant in other segments examined. An improvement of back muscle function following dry needling procedure in healthy individuals was found. This implies that dry needling might stimulate motor nerve fibers and as such increase muscle activity."

New Perspectives on Back Pain: Does the Thoracolumbar Fascia (TLF) Hold the Key to Healing?

If you've ever before had a hurting low back, you're acutely aware of how agonizing it could be. Though we commonly indicate tight muscle mass or disc issues as the source of discomfort, new understandings into the fascia are transforming just how we believe about back pain. This is excellent news for the 20-30% people dealing with low back discomfort at any type of provided time.

Low neck and back pain influences over 80% of people in their life time. It is the 5th leading root cause of physician brows through in the United States, and among the leading causes of chronic pain as well as disability. In most cases the origin of pain in the back remains a mystery.

New study recommends that there might be one more dimension to low back pain that was not formerly recognized. Specifically, emphasis is looking to the function of thoraculumbar fascia (TLF), which could play a crucial role in the experience of persistent back pain.

The fascia, additionally described as connective tissue, has formerly been considered the inert 'wrapping' product of the body. Significantly, researchers are recognizing its role in a large array of body functions, in certain structural health and also balance.

" Fascia is the biological fabric that holds us together," claims Tom Myers, writer of Anatomy Trains, a publication that discovers the fascia lines of the body. "You have to do with 70 trillion cells all humming in relative harmony, fascia is the 3-D crawler internet of coarse, gluey, and also wet healthy proteins that hold them completely in their appropriate placement."

Fascia borders most frameworks of the body consisting of nerves, blood vessels, muscle fibers, and also muscle mass, as well as it develops a facility, interconnected internet throughout the body.

Much like a coat, a "pull" in one area of fascia fiber can radiate to other areas of the body. This has much reaching effects for how we consider reduced back pain.

The Thoracolumbar Fascia and also Reduced Back Pain

As scientists are uncovering much more and more about the duty fascia has to play in bodily features, among the locations of focus is the duty of the thoracolumbar fascia in back pain.

The thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) is a specific kind of fascia referred to as an aponeurosis. An aponeurosis is a broad sheet of thick fibrous connective tissue that covers and also creates the endpoints as well as add-ons of numerous muscles. You could consider it as a level sheet of tendons merged together.

Low neck and back pain is simpler to comprehend when you consider it in regards to the thoracolumbar fascia. Commonly pain in the reduced back really feels as though it comes from the muscular tissues of the low back, yet lot of times frameworks like the hamstrings, piriformis, as well as gluteus (butts) muscle mass, or joints like the sacroiliac (SI) joint are likewise involved. Back pain could often emit from the reduced back to the top back and shoulders. These are all frameworks that are connected by the TLF.

In truth, most of the major muscular tissues of the back, trunk, and also legs intersect with the TLF. On the back, it links the latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboid major, and also quadratus lumborum muscles, along with the spine erectors as well as multifidi. For the trunk, it links the external obliques to the back, and it forms the accessory point for the gluteus maximus as well as the hamstrings. The thick fibers of fascia likewise attach to lots of crucial bony frameworks of the back as well as back, including the thoracic spinous processes, the sacrum, ribs, as well as hips (iliac crest).

Given this level of interconnectedness, it's not tough to see that discrepancies partly of the muscular tissues affixed to the TLF often are connected as sheer anxiety to the TLF. This is substantiated by brand-new research study, which finds that the TLF contains numerous nocioreceptors, making it a with the ability of sending out pain signals to the brain. Partly II of this article we will assess a new research that locates that the TLF is a lot more sensitive to discomfort compared to muscle mass and also other connective tissues (tendons and also tendons).

The Thoracolumbar Fascia in Movement

The TLF is main to activities like strolling, resting and standing. When weight is moved from one leg to another, the mechanical tons of the body are transferred from the reduced back, pelvis and hips across the TLF to the upper back, arms as well as shoulders. The force transfers diagonally in an x-axis throughout the facility of the TLF at the reduced back.

This suggests that the TLF is in charge of taking care of a significant quantity of weight and force through the reduced back. This is also takes place when you're turning your spine. If you're climbing a hillside or a trip of staircases, or bring any kind of weight on your back or shoulders, this pressure is multiplied considerably.

Why haven't we been considering reduced back pain in regards to the TLF till currently? Off, up till just recently, fascia has actually only been viewed as inert covering product. On top of that, unlike muscle mass and bones, the TLF is not easily seen with present imaging techniques like ex-rays and also MRIs (magnetic vibration imaging). That means that although doctors could see the TLF in an image, they could not see it clearly enough to identify a problem.

Preventing Low Back Pain

Understanding exactly how your back works could be a great initial step in protecting against low pain in the back. Bear in mind just how you relocate, and also consider your stance when moving or raising hefty things. In addition to mindful movement there are a variety of other actions to consider.

Get rid of excess weight - When you consider the biomechanics of activity it ends up being clear that the much more you consider, the higher pressure you position on your low back, spinal column, hips, and TLF, every one of which are implicated in low back pain.

Watch your posture - Be mindful of how you sit, stand and also removal. The alignment of your back as well as hips can have a great bargain to do with the force that your reduced back takes in, and the pressure that is put on it.

Get up and move - Believe it or not, resting places 4 times the quantity of mechanical pressure and tension on your back compared to standing. Your reduced back is the recipient of a great deal of this tension. Stand, stroll about, and also obtain into a routine of moving.

Strengthen your spine - Whether via gentle yoga or much more energetic workout and strengthening programs, make sure to pay interest to your spine and your stomach muscles. Core reinforcing exercises found in yoga as well as Pilates could be ideal.

Bodily Treatment for the Lower Right back: Just how to Reduce and Handle Lower Right back Pain

Back pain is one of the very popular causes of job-related disability and why some individuals skip work. It is also the next most frequent neurological ailment in the United States, 2nd simply to headache. Actually, approximately 80% of people in European places have, sooner or later, experienced back pain.

For many lucky people, pain in the lower right back might be settled alone or with the aid of medicine within two to four weeks. However, there are some instances of back pain that will work for more than a couple of weeks, all through which situation the problem is termed as "persistent" and "gradual," meaning it can only develop worse around time.

More over, 60-80% of those individuals who suffer their first episode of back pain may experience repeating pain within one year.

Based on recent research, you can find particular muscles in the back that perform to support the spine. Once the back or the back undergoes a personal injury, these muscles are reflexively inhibited or shutdown. Worse however, these muscles do not spontaneously recover, and this really is correct even if individuals do not sense pain and are able to get back on track activity levels.

As a result of the inhibition of the muscles, called lumbar multifidi and the transversus abdominus, back pain occurs. However, you can find steps you are able to lower back pain decide to try prevent a similar thing from happening to you.

Lower Back Pain and Physical Therapy

One way to stop the inhibition of the lumbar multifidi and transversus abdominus is through a series of bodily treatment exercises.

Designed to enhance the muscles of the lower right back and keep the back balanced, these bodily treatment exercises may vary from right back stabilization exercises to muscle energy growth and many wide selection of techniques.

In addition, a real specialist could also recommend such techniques as temperature treatment, ultrasound, massage, mobilization, and knowledge about pose and body technicians to be able to prevent back pain from recurring.

Several of those techniques is going to be discussed later on. You may also discover some realistic self-help tips supplied by authorities to assist you prevent back pain or prevent the problem from worsening.

However, before we head onto understanding how back pain is treated through bodily treatment, it is important that we first understand what causes back pain.

Lower Back Pain: CAUSES

You will find really various kinds of right back pain, but the most typical is pain in the lower back. Why? You may ask. Associated with simple: you carry many of one's fat in the lower back. Thus, it's very probably a individual might suffer pain because area.

There is no defined reason behind back pain. Sometimes, the causes of the problem are very complex that it's hard to establish merely a single one.

To plank or not to plank, that is the question. And the answer is yes! The benefits of planking are enormous, as this exercise helps build your core, develop better balance, and support your posture for better functional movement every day. You should be planking as much as possible, and in every variation possible to get the most out of this essential workout. Learn more about the benefits of planking when you read these tips and tricks from our head coach at ZitroFit. ���The Core and More When most people think of the core, they think of the muscles that contribute to the six-pack abs they do dearly desire. However, as the name implies, the core is the structure that makes up the middle of your body, including your sides, your back, and yes, those enviable washboard abs. The core is one of the many muscle groups that plays a role in training and getting stronger. The muscles of the core include: Rectus Abdominis - the rectus abdominis is the core muscles that make up the aforementioned six-pack abs when belly fat is reduced. This long muscle stretches downward along the front of the abdomen. Transversus Abdominis - the TVA is deep within the core, and is largely responsible for stability and support, wrapping around the spine. External Obliques - the external oblique muscles are at the front and side of your trunk, in the waist area. Internal Obliques - the internal obliques are located under the external oblique muscles, traveling in the opposite direction. Erector Spinae - the erector spinae is one of the most important muscle groups in your back, comprising of three muscles that extend from the neck to the lower back. Multifidus - the multifidis is a thin muscle located in the spine, which plays a key role in stability and joint protection. While these are the major muscles within the core, many other muscles play a role in core strengthening and stabilization. Everything from the pecs and lats to the diaphragm to the hamstrings tie into core functionality. In the human body, everything is connected and works together! •Planking Benefits in Activities of Daily Living (at Chelsea, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_avMsLjiIn/?igshid=1im9mbioo4ts8

ABDOMINAL TENSEGRITY [FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY & BIOMECHANICS] The abdominals are often discussed and trained as one muscular “core” unit. While the abdominal complex does behave as a global unit during certain stability tasks, it has functional subunits that have interesting individual characteristics that are only revealed during movement. Pics 4 & 5 show these different muscles and their fiber orientation. The role of these muscles are diverse but the fiber directions reveal their actions. Transversus Abdominus (Deepest,Red) has horizontal fibers, fascially connects to the thoracolumbar fascia and primarily serves to stabilize the pelvis and lumbar spine with synergistic action of the multifidi. Internal Oblique (Green) has diagonal fibers that originate from the ilium and attach to the linea alba/ribs. When IO is engaged bilaterally it pulls the ribs to the pelvis, creating trunk stability. However, IO unilateral role is to rotate the trunk ipsilaterally along with the contralateral external oblique (pic 5). The upper 2/3 of IO “wraps” around the Rectus Abdominis. Rectus Abdominus (Orange) vertical fibers with primary role of trunk flexion and countering lumbar shear forces. External Oblique (yellow) has diagonal fibers that create trunk rotation during gate and are fascially continuous with the Serratus Anterior (blue). When the abdominals contract as a unit, they stabilize the trunk through increased intra-abdominal pressure and force is transferred to the upper limb via the connection of the serratus. That said, static trunk stabilization as in a plank exercise doesn’t train the muscles for their role in movement. In gait, the obliques serve an eccentric role to control trunk rotational forces and allow for smooth movement of the limbs with transfer of forces from lower limb to upper limb. Kumar, et al showed the critical importance of spinal rotation through an artificial restriction/elimination of spinal rotation which resulted in significantly shorter stride length, slower walking velocity, and higher energy consumption in walking. A strong core doesn’t just create “spine stiffness” but allows for controlled movement of the spine. #Anatomy #Muscles (hier: Frankfurt, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFO4touhFIn/?igshid=g8xuizjl4j7t
