EHR520 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Rectus Abdominis Muscle, Quadratus Lumborum Muscle, Transverse Abdominal Muscle
Document Summary
Week 7 functional anatomy and rehabilitation of the. General rehabilitation considerations: pelvis: left & right hemipelvis joined at pubic symphysis & sij"s. Hempelvis: ilium, pubis, ischium: lumbopelvic hip complex: spine, pelvis, hips. Sacroiliac stabilisation: form closure: anatomical stability of pelvic ring. Reduced with ligament or bone injury/changes: force closure: muscles provide stability through their strength & function. Reduced with muscle (core) injury: neuromotor control: proper activation and sequential recruitment of muscles. Dysfunctional recruitment following injury: ligament sprain compromises form closure, focus is on improving force closure with appropriate strengthening and activation exercises to re establish lumbopelvic hip stability. The core: a box or cylinder of muscles surrounding the spine, muscles of the pelvis and trunk. Inner core: transverse abdominus, diaphragm, multifidus, pelvic floor & internal oblique. Outer core: erector spinae, rectus abdominus, external oblique, gluteal muscles, thoracolumbar fascia (through latissimus dorsi. & quadratus lumborum: core instability also linked to: Knee injuries including acl sprains, ankle sprains & pfp syndrome.
