Attachment of quadratus lumborum
Tips of TP L1-L4 and Rib 12
Action of quadratus lumborum
Draws down the 12th rib, and acts as a muscle of inspiration by helping to fix the origin of the diaphragm
Quadratus spasm results in
Flattened diaphragm
Lateral Arcuate covers this muscle
Quadratus
Lateral Arcuate spans from
L1 to midpoint of rib 12
Initial effects of rib raising
Stimulation of sympathetic outflow
Rib raising: Longer lasting effect of decreasing sympathetic tone caused by
Reflex inhibition the higher sympathetic centers in the medulla
Vertebral attachments of the left crura
L2-L4
Sympathetic chain ganglia are located
Anterior to rib heads
Reflex phenomenon produce palpable changes which osteopathic physicians can diagnose and treat
Facilitated segment
This creates increased activity at the synapses at the cord level, therefore the threshold level is lowered. It is then more easily stimulated to discharge by impulses of sublevel intensity
Facilitated segment
Anterior Chapman's Point for Kidneys
1" lateral and 1" superior to kidneys, ipsilateral to affected organ
An abnormal increase in concentration of urea and other nitrogenous substances in the blood plasma
Azotemia
Symptoms and signs of uremia when nearing
End-stage Renal disease
Diagnosis of chronic kidney disease
Bilateral small kidneys on ultrasound
Over 70% of chronic kidney disease is due to
Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus
Movement of the kidneys during inhalation
Inferior and lateral
Parasympathetics of the GU
Vagus and S2-S4 (via the pelvic splanchnic nerves)
Vagus nerve innervates this portion of the GU
Kidney and proximal portion of ureters
Superior vagal ganglion sits in the
Jugular foramen
Inferior vagal ganglion sits around
Body of C2
S2-S4 (via Pelvic Splanchnic nerves) innervates these portion of the GU
Distal portion of ureters, bladder
Sympathetic effects on afferent arterioles
Vasoconstriction
Sympathetic effects on GFR
Decreased
Sympathetic effects on Ureter peristalsis
Decreased
Sympathetic effects on the bladder wall
Relaxation
May lead to vesicoureteral reflux
Hypersympathetic tone to the bladder (functional urinary retention)
Sympathetic effects to the trigone muscle
Contraction
Sympathetic effects on internal urethral sphincter
Contraction
Parasympathetic effects on ureter
Maintain normal peristalsis
Parasympathetic effects on the detrusor muscle
Excitatory
Parasympathetics effects on the trigone muscle
Inhibition
The voluntary control for the external urethral sphincter is thru this nerve
Pudendal
After relaxation of the external urethral sphincter, this must also occur for voiding to take place
Parasympathetic relaxation of the internal sphincter
Renal lymphatics flow into the
Pre-aortic nodes before traveling up the thoracic duct to the subclavian vein
Synchronous motion of the thoracic and pelvic diaphragms is vital to
Lymphatic drainage from the urinary system
Intrarenal plexi
→ lateral aortic nodes
→ thoracic duct
→ left lymphatic duct
→ subclavian vein
This test occurs as a result of a visceromotor reflex which causes increased tone to the thoracolumbar junction
Lloyd’s
This muscle contracture can increase lumbar lordosis
Psoas
Viscerosomatic reflexes will progress from T10 to lumbar region if
There is a calculi passing through ureter
Treating T10-L1 will normalize
Sympathetic activity of Kidney and ureters
Treating T12-L2 will normalize
Sympathetic activity of bladder
Treating T11-T12 DYSFUNCTIONS
Improves arterial, venous and lymphatic circulation
Relieves Tension in Psoas and Deep Pelvic Muscles
DIRECT TREATMENT OF THE KIDNEY (Visceral Manipulation) method
Direct kidneys up and out
DIRECT TREATMENT OF THE KIDNEY results
Relaxes surrounding blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics
May also relax tissues around the ureters
Anterior Chapman's Point for Adrenals
One inch lateral and two inches superior to the umbilicus ipsilaterally
Posterior Chapman's Point for Adrenals
Intertransverse space on both sides of T11 and T12 midway between the spinous processes and transverse processes
Anterior Chapman's Point for
Bladder
Umbilical area
Posterior Chapman's Point for Bladder
Intertransverse space (midway between spines and transverse process tips of L1-2 and T12-L1 respectively
Bladder physical exam findings in a UTI
Suprapubic pain
Kidney (Pyelonephritis) on a physical exam findings
Lower thoracic pain or Flank Pain
Distribution of the Lat. Femoral cutaneous nerve paresthesia
Groin or inguinal pain
Tender point location of the iliolumbar ligament syndrome
Located 1 inch superior and lateral from the inferior margin of the PSIS and in the iliolumbar ligament
Iiolumbar ligament attachments
Attaches to the transverse processes of L4, L5, extends to the iliac crest, and posterior and anterior regions of the SI joint
He described a referral pattern for triggerpoints in the psoas muscle
Travell

E. coli
PNS level of bladder
S2-S4
The apex of the bladder is attached to the anterior abdominal wall by the remnant of the
Urachus—the median umbilical ligament
Fibromuscular tissue connects the bladder neck to the inferior aspects of the
Pubic bones
Bladder lymphatics drains to the
External iliac nodes
Presumed etiology of urge incontinence
Uninhibited bladder contractions of the detrusor (hyperparasympathetics of sacral level)
Occurs when increase intra-abdominal pressure leads to sphincter opening in the absence of bladder contraction
Stress incontinence
Complete failure of urethral closure is called
Intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD)
Due to detrusor weakness and/or bladder outlet obstruction;
