Document Summary

Thoracolumbar fascia: importance: see figure thocacolumbar fascia: helps create stability in lumbar spine. Osteoporosis spondylolisthesis and spondylosis cause spinal stenosis. Lumbar foraminaectomy back of the vetabrea is marking point grade 2 is 99% surgery dont want to do extension with spondylolisthesis. Spine: over-pronated foot, internal rotation of tibia, abnormal tracking of patella in cw direction, internal rotation of femur, external rotation of hip socket, rotation of lumbar spine away from over-pronated foot. Manubrium, sternum, costal cartilage, xiphoid process thoracic extension is limited spinous process in relation to transverse process. Upper 7 ribs attach directly to the sternum: true ribs. The remaining 5 are false ribs but the top 3 still attach to the sternum, the bottom 2 are floating ribs. 2 purposes of the thorax? (support and protection) Facets on the thoracic vertebrae: superior, inferior, transverse. T1-t2: sp at same level as own tp. T3-t9: sp in line with tp of level below. T10-t12: at same level as own tp.
