Study Notes
Lumbopelvic Anatomy and Kinematics
- The presentation covers lumbopelvic anatomy and kinematics.
- Objectives include understanding the normal anatomy and arthrokinematics of this region.
- Also, learning Fryette's laws of coupled motion in the spine.
- Demonstrating the ability to palpate specific structures in the lumbopelvic region is another objective.
Lumbar Spine
- The lumbar spine contains 5 lumbar vertebrae.
- Key ligaments include the anterior longitudinal ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament, ligamentum flavum, and interspinal ligament.
- Facet joint orientation varies significantly, with common types including half-moon, flat (normal), and asymmetric half-moon/flat shapes.
- L5-S1 facet anomalies (tropisms) are also discussed.
- Important structures include the intervertebral disc and endplate.
Sacrum/Pelvis
- The sacrum comprises 5 fused vertebrae.
- The coccyx is also a part of this region , composed of 5 fused vertebrae (tailbone).
- Key ligaments include the anterior longitudinal ligament, iliolumbar ligament, and various sacroiliac ligaments (anterior sacroiliac, sacrotuberous, sacrospinous).
- Pelvic anatomy includes the ilium, pubis, and ischium.
- The presentation covers variations in pelvic shape (gynecoid and android).
Lumbopelvic Muscles
- Superficial and deep muscles are included.
- Examples include the Erector spinae, Hip abductors, hip extensors/rotators, hip flexors, and hip adductors.
- The presentation outlines muscles of the sacrum/pelvis.
Lumbopelvic Nerves
- The lumbar and sacral plexuses are discussed.
- The presentation details the nerve structures and their roles.
- The sciatic nerve may also be involved.
Osteokinematics
- Lumbopelvic flexion ranges from 40-60 degrees.
- Extension ranges from 20-35 degrees.
- Lateral flexion ranges from 15-20 degrees.
- Rotation ranges from 3-18 degrees.
- Rotation is limited by facet joint orientation.
- Nutation and counternutation are also key concepts.
- Innominate dysfunctions (inflare, outflare, anterior/posterior rotation, upslip/downslip) are presented.
- Sacral torsions are another topic in the osteokinematic section.
Arthrokinematics
- Facet joint sliding without rotation.
- Intervertebral joint pivoting and gliding are key aspects.
- Ball-bearing action is discussed in the material.
- "Closing" and "opening" of facet joints are noted.
- Key movements: Sacral nutation and counternutation.
Fryette's Laws
- Fryette's Laws, two basic laws, are discussed in relation to spine mechanics.
- Law #1: When the spine is in a neutral position, side bending will occur in a direction opposite to the axis of rotation.
- Law #2: When the spine is in a non-neutral position (flexed or extended), side bending and rotation will occur in the same direction.
- Law #3: Motion in one direction limits motion in other directions, particularly when considering high-velocity, low-amplitude manipulation techniques for the spine.
Palpation
- Bony landmarks for palpation include spinous processes, iliac crests, posterior superior iliac spines, sacral base, S2 spinous processes, inferior lateral angle of sacrum, ischial tuberosities, ASIS, AIIS, and pubic symphysis.
- Soft tissue landmarks also include erector spinae, hip abductors, hip extensors/rotators, hip flexors, and hip adductors.
