Spine
This spine region primarily functions to protect vital organs and assist with respiration, with limited movement.
What is the thoracic spine?
This is the proximal stability of the body.
Maintaining this will allow you to have better stability.
What is balance?
What is tight hamstrings?
This term describes an excessive anterior curvature in the lumbar spine.
What is lordosis?
These five bones make up the pelvis.
What are the ilium, the ischium, the pubis, the sacrum, and the coccyx?
Lowering this can increase your stability during movement.
What is the center of gravity?
What is the center of gravity and base of support?
This muscle group assists includes muscles like the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius.
What are the cervical spine muscles?
This term describes a sagittal plane movement where the pelvis moves anteriorly or posteriorly.
What is pelvic tilt?
Having a larger distance between points of contact will allow this to provide more support for the body.
What is the Base of Support?
Act out a pelvic obliquity.
This deep muscle group in the cervical spine aids in rotation.
What is the transversospinalis?
This positioning causes increased lumbar lordosis, upper trunk extension, and forward rotation of the pelvis.
What is the anterior pelvic tilt?
The core is located from the pelvic floor to the __________?
What is the Diaphragm?
Act out and explain a posterior pelvic tilt!
What are backward rotated pelvis, increased thoracic flexion, and flat lumbar spine
In a normal spine curvature, the sacral curve is described using this term
What is concave?
This frontal plane movement causes one side of the pelvis to be more superior than the other.
What is pelvic obliquity?
Closed chain movements occur proximally, because the __________ segments are stabilized.
What is distal?
Give an example of a closed chain movement and an open chain movement.
