Spinal Stabilization a. Know Characteristics of superficial/global spinal muscle and deep/segmental spinal muscles (cervical and lumbar) Global Muscle: Characteristics: Superficial (further from the axis), Crosses multiple vertebral segments, produces larger movements and power through the spine Deep segmental muscles: Characteristics: deep (closer to the axis of motion), attach to each vertebral segment, play a key role in stabilizing individual vertebrae and segments of the spine, greater percentage of Type 1 muscle fibers. b. Know Muscles that comprise the deep/segmental core muscles (cervical and lumbar) Global: ○ Lumbar region: Rectus abdominis, Obliques, QL, erector spinae and ilio psoas ○ Cervical region: SCM, scalene, levator scapulae, Upper traps, and erector spinae ○ CONTRACT 2ND Deep ○ Lumbar region :Transversus abdominis, multifidus, deep QL and deep rotators ○ Cervical region: Rectus capitis anterior and lateralis and longus colli ○ CONTRACT FIRST
