Rectus abdominis muscle

some abdominal muscle separation during pregnancy it is estimated that almost 40% of women have a severe separation known as diastasis recti at 6 months postpartum. In recent years, diastasis recti has become a more well-known condition. It’s starting to get quite…

Question #10 The abdominal wall consists of four muscles; Rectus abdomens, external obliques, internal obliques and transverse abdominals. Abdominal muscles serve a dual function of both producing and preventing motion as they promote the stability of the pelvis and lower back. This helps maintain a neutral pelvis and optimal lumbar curve. The primary movements of the abdominals are flexion, rotation, lateral flexion, anti-lateral flexion, and stabilization. The rectus abdominis is a long…

remains stationary against the ribcage if the movement only occurs at glenohumeral joint. As shoulder abduction continues, the inferior angle of the scapula begins to shift upwards as it undergoes superior angle rotation. Hence this bring about for every 2 degrees of glenohumeral joint moves, 1 degree of scapulathoracic moves from this point. When the upper extremity moves abduction on the 90 degrees, the upper glenohumeral joint contributes 40 degrees for a total of 70 degrees while the…

After relaxing the jaw, repeat the pirouette, and notice changes in the mobility of the neck and the alignment of the head. Equal body halves 1. As you turn, think of the pelvic halves revolving around the sacrum like a revolving door with the sacrum at its center. 2. Feel the equality of both sides of the back. Feel the equality of both sides of the rib cage. 3. Keep the arms level with each other. If you have trouble feeling horizontal in the arms, imagine a water balance placed between the…

done by Vera-Garcia, et al. (2007) concluded that the drawing-in maneuver was not effective in reducing the kinematic response to sudden agitation as for the bracing maneuver used torso-contraction reducing lumbar displacement and increased trunk stability. Through this study we find that activating multiple muscles helps stabilize the spine better than contracting only the transvers abdomens and the lower lumbar multifidi (Slosberg, 2009). The study suggests to activate a more global…

flexed but rigid when you kick so that no power is lost. Your knee joint, consisting of the tibia and femur, extends as your thigh muscles contract and your hip, which is made up of your femur and ilium, swings forward in a movement called hip flexion. Muscles of the Lower Leg: The primary muscles in your lower leg used in kicking a football are on opposite sides of your tibia, or shin bone. Your gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, collectively called your calf, contract to…

is parallel with the body. "At the point when a parallel muscle contracts, it abbreviates and gets bigger in measurement". Extensor digitorum-a lower arm muscle that develops the finger joints is uni-pennate. Flexor carpi Muscles-Allows the wrist to flex and snatch, it is a shaft muscle shape with a long ligament. Transversus abdominis-its umbrella molded and is for stance arrangement and is situated in the stomach. Rectus femoris-Is the muscle that enables the knee to augment. It is…

What is meant by “agonist and antagonist muscle pairs”? Give an example What is meant by agonist in muscle pairs is that it does the majority of the workload in an exercise and is considered the prime mover (primarily responsible for movement). The antagonist in respect to the agonist counteracts. The antagonist helps allow the agonist to perform a task. An example could be the biceps brachii contracts when doing elbow flexion. While the antagonist would be the triceps brachii relaxing during…

(Berglund et al, 2015). The Biering-Sorensen test evaluates the hip and back extensor muscles aerobic capacity. This rehabilitative exercise also helps to improve a reduction in the pain intensity the patient experiences. Furthermore, improvement is seen in the lumbopelvic movement control, which allows for a larger range of motion (Berglund et al, 2015). The deadlift requires muscles from all across the body to complete the action in its…

exercise in strength and conditioning programs. It is one of the most popular exercises amongst competitive and recreational athletes. The bench press commonly measures and evaluates upper-body strength, muscle-mass, power and, in some cases, muscular endurance. The lift is typically performed lying supine on a bench using a barbell. There are several variations of the bench press exercises to include the wide-grip bench press, close-grip bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press,…
