Introduction The serratus posterior superior muscle is found in the back’s intermediate compartment. It has a slender, rectangular shape and is placed deep in the upper back, close to the rhomboid muscles. The rib cage is raised by the serratus posterior superior muscle and lowered by the serratus posterior inferior muscle. When forced breathing is…
Introduction The serratus posterior inferior muscle is found in the back’s intermediate compartment. It is located in the lower part of the back, beneath the latissimus dorsi. It plays a role in respiration and stabilization of the lower thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae. Structure The muscle is placed where the thoracic and lumbar spines meet….
What is Cervical Lateral Flexion? The cervical spine or neck may move on either side to tilt the head toward the shoulder. The term “cervical lateral flexion” describes this movement. To put it briefly, it is a lateral neck bend that does not include head rotation but rather puts the ear closer to the shoulder….
What is a Lumbar Flexion? Lumbar Flexion refers to the forward bending movement of the lower spine, where the angle between the spine and the pelvis decreases. This motion is commonly used in daily activities like bending to tie shoes and is essential for overall spinal mobility and flexibility. What is Lumbar Flexion And Extension?…
What are Mitochondria? The majority of eukaryotic creatures have mitochondria, which are organelles that are frequently referred to as the “powerhouses of the cell.” Their main work is to use a process known as cellular respiration to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the source of energy. This article will examine mitochondria’s functions, appearance, and…
Kyphosis (rounding of the upper back) is often caused by weak posture or muscular imbalances. The best exercises for kyphosis focus on strengthening the back extensors, improving posture, and increasing spinal mobility to help restore proper alignment and reduce discomfort. Before beginning any workout regimen, always get medical advice, especially if you have spinal pain…
Introduction: A patellar retinaculum injury occurs when the fibrous connective tissues that support and stabilize the patella (kneecap) and direct its movement inside the femoral groove are damaged or torn. Maintaining appropriate patellar alignment during knee flexion and extension is largely dependent on these retinal structures, particularly the medial and lateral patellar retinacula. Pain, edema,…
Introduction Serratus posterior muscles are two sets of muscles found in the upper and lower backs. These include: These muscles work together to form the back’s intermediate layer of extrinsic musculature.These muscles’ principal function is to facilitate breathing; the serratus posterior superior muscle lifts the ribs, while the serratus posterior inferior muscle lowers them. In…
Introduction: A partial or whole rupture of the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue on the sole of the foot, is referred to as a plantar fascia tear. Numerous things, such as excessive use, unexpected impact, or pre-existing disorders like plantar fasciitis, can cause this tear. Sharp and frequently severe heel pain can…
Introduction: A supraspinous ligament sprain is an injury to the ligament that runs along the tips of the spinous processes of the vertebrae, primarily in the thoracic and lumbar spine. An injury to the supraspinous ligament, a crucial connective tissue that extends along the spine from the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) to the sacrum, is…
