Quiz #2 - Recognition of Spinal Conditions from Some Findings

Tightness in the semispinalis and splenius capitus compresses the occipital nerve, leading to pain.

A cervical strain usually involves muscle injuries, particularly of UFT, SCM, scalenes, and splenius muscles, while a cervical sprain involves tears in ligaments such as the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments.

Torticollis is characterized by pain on one side of the neck, decreased range of motion, and muscle spasm, often triggered by sudden neck movement or holding the head in an unusual position.

<p>Functional scoliosis results in tight muscles on the concave side of the curve and weak muscles on the convex side, particularly affecting the TFL and gluteus medius.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>In functional scoliosis, tightness occurs in the hip flexors and iliotibial band on the low side, while weakness is seen in the gluteus medius on the high side. This creates an imbalance in muscle strength along the curve.</p> Signup and view all the answers
