ANTERIOR SPINAL MUSCLES
This refers to the development of neuromuscular aspects of the control of the lumbar spine and pelvis, which is vital for protecting the spine from injury
Core stability
This posterior spinal muscle produces lateral flexion
Quadratus lumborum
Generally, anterior hip muscles produce:
Hip flexion
Generally, lateral hip muscles produce:
Abduction
This is the most powerful hip flexor
Iliopsoas
This muscle is recruited for spinal stabilization
Transverse abdominis
These three (3) muscles make up the erector spinae
Spinalis
Longissimus
Iliocostalis
Generally, posterior hip muscles produce:
Extension
Generally, medial hip muscles produce:
Adduction
This is the only quadriceps muscle that crosses the hip joint
Rectus femoris
These three (3) muscles make up the iliopsoas
psoas major
psoas minor
iliacus
These three (3) muscles are recruited for spinal extension [1 primary group, 2 secondary]
Primary: erector spinae
Secondary: deep posterior spinal group, semispinalis
These are the three (3) anterior hip muscles
Iliopsoas
Rectus femoris
Sartorius
These are the three (3) lateral hip muscles
Gluteus medius
Gluteus minimus
Tensor fasciae latae
This superficial anterior hip muscle is the longest in the body
Sartorius
These are the four (4) abdominal muscles
rectus abdominis
external oblique
internal oblique
transverse abdominis
These muscles produce lateral flexion (4 primary, 3 secondary)
Primary muscles:
quadratus lumborum, external obliques, internal obliques, erector spinae
Secondary muscles:
semispinalis, deep posterior spinal group, iliopsoas
These are the three (3) posterior hip muscles
Gluteus maximus
Hamstrings
Deep outward rotators
These are the two primary muscles recruited for hip abduction
Gluteus medius
Gluteus minimus
This is the strongest and deepest hip adductor
Adductor magnus
These three (3) muscles produce spinal flexion
Rectus abdominis
External obliques
Internal obliques
These are the four (4) deep posterior spinal group muscles
Intertransversales
Interspinalis
Rotatores
Multifidus
These the three (3) muscles make up the hamstrings
Biceps femoris
Semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
These are the five (5) medial hip muscles
Adductor brevis
Adductor longus
Adductor magnus
Pectineus
Gracilis
This muscle group is recruited for local spinal extension, local spinal lateral flexion (same), and local spinal rotation (opposite) around the __________________.
