posture: types of postures, ID posture stretched? strengthened?-scoliosis |
wooo |
|
|
LORDOTIC POSTURE -Increased Lumbosacral angle- which is approx. 30 degrees |
Spine: Extended, Pelvis: Ant. Tilt, Hip: Flexed |
|
|
-Potential source of symptoms: prob dont need to know? |
stress to ant. Longitudinal ligament; narrowing of pos.disc space & intervertebral foramen; approximation of articular facets- facets may become WBing causing synovial irritation & joint inflammation |
|
|
TIGHTNESS/ Decreased Mobility: (Think concave): |
•Tight Hip Flexors: Iliopsoas,TFL, Rectus Femoris •Tight Lumbar Extensors: Erector Spinae |
|
|
Stretched and weak Abdominals: |
-Rectus abdominis, internal & external obliques, transversus abdominis |
|
|
FLATLOW BACK POSTURE |
-Decreased Lumbosacral angle/ Deacreased Lordosis -Spine:Flexed, Pelvis: Post. Tilt, Hip: Extended |
|
|
-Lack of normal lordosis reduces shock absorption effect of lumbar region and predisposes person to injury: |
stress to posterior longitudinal ligament; increase in posterior disc space allowing nucleus pulposis to imbibe extra fluid (and, under certain circumstances- may protrude posteriorly when the person attempts extension) |
|
|
TIGHTNESS/ Decreased Mobility: (Think concave): |
•Tight HIP EXTENSORS: hamstrings, gluts. •Tight TRUNK FLEXORS: rectus abdominis, intercostals |
|
|
•Stretched and Weak: (Think convex): |
•LUMBAR EXTENSORS: Erector Spinae and possibly Hip Flexor muscles |
|
|
SWAYBACK/RELAXED/SLOUCHED POSTURE |
INCREASED LORDOSIS in the LOWER LUMBAR region, INCREASED KYPHOSIS in the THORACIC region,& usually a FORWARD HEAD |
|
|
-PotentialSources of Symptoms: prob dont need to know? |
Stress to Iliofemoral ligaments, ALL of lower lumbar spine, PLL of upper lumbar and thoracic spine With asymmetrical postures- stress to IT band on elvated side. Narrowing of intervertebral foramen; Approximation of lower lumbar facet jnts |
|
|
TIGHTNESS/ Decreased Mobility: (Think concave) |
•Tight HIP EXTENSORS: hamstrings •Tight LOWER LUMBAR EXTENSORS •Tight Upper Abdominals |
|
|
•Stretched and Weak: (Think convex) |
LOWER ABDOMINALS Lower segments of rectus abdominis & obliques Extensor muscles of Lower Thoracic |
|
|
(ROUND BACK) POSTURE
|
Increased thoracic kyphotic curve, Protracted scapula (rounded shoulders) , and forward head |
|
|
Potential Sources of symptoms: prob dont need to know? |
-Stress to ALL of upper cervical spine and PLL of lower cervical and thoracic spine; irritation of facet jnts. In upper cervical spine; narrowing of intervertebral foramen in upper cervical. Impingement of blood vessels and nerve roots- esp. with deg. Changes; impingement of neurovascular bundle from ant. Scalene or pec. Minor tightness; strain on neurovascular structures of thoracic outlet from scap protraction |
|
|
TIGHTNESS/ Decreased Mobility: (Think concave) |
Tight: PEC. MAJOR, MINOR. LAT. DORSI •LEV. SCAP., SCM, SCALENE, UPPER TRAP, and SUBOCCIPITAL MUSCLES- rectus capitus pos. major & minor, obliquus capitus inf./sup |
|
|
•Stretched and Weak: (Think convex) |
•LOWER CERVICAL/UPPER THORACIC ERECTOR SPINAE - rhomboids, middle traps., lower traps. •Ant. throat muscles, capital flexors |
|
|
FORWARD HEAD POSTURE |
Involves: Increased Flexion of the Lower Cervical and Upper Thoracic regions -Extension of the Occiput on C1 -There may be TMD with retrusion/retraction of the mandible |
|
|
Potential Sources of Symptoms: prob dont need to know? |
-Impingement of cervical plexus from Lev. Scap. Tightness; Impingement of greater Occipital nerves from tight Upper Trap, Tension headaches; TMJ pain from faulty head, neck and mandibular alignment and asso. Facial muscle tension (temporalis/ masseter); Lower cervical disc lesions from faulty flexed posture |
|
|
TIGHTNESS/ Decreased Mobility: (Think concave) |
•Tight: LEV. SCAP., SCM, SCALENE, UPPER TRAP, and SUBOCCIPITAL MUSCLES- rectus capitus pos. major & minor, obliquus capitus inf./sup •With TMJ symptoms: Increased tension in Masseter, Temporalis, Pterygoid |
|
|
Stretched and Weak: |
LOWER CERVICAL/UPPER THORACIC ERECTOR SPINAE - rhomboids, middle traps., lower traps. - Ant. throat muscles, capital flexors |
