  1. The Spinal Column and Thorax ESAT 3600 Fundamentals of Athletic Training

  2. Main Functions • Skull • Protect brain • Thorax • Absorb forces of impact • Muscle attachment • Vertebral column • Provides framework and foundation for most movements of body and extremities • Muscle attachment • Protects spinal cord

  3. Vertebral Column • 7 cervical • 12 thoracic • 5 lumbar • 5 sacral • 4-5 coccygeal • Sacral and coccygeal are fused

  4. Shapes of Normal Spine • Cervical lordosis • Contributes to mobility of head • Thoracic kyphosis • Lumbar lordosis • Contributes to “springiness” of spine • Sacral kyphosis • Helps to transmit forces of body weight through trunk

  5. Bony Anatomy Review • Vertebral body • Vertebral arch • Transverse processes • Spinous process • Articulating surfaces • facets

  6. Vertebral Column Structure • All vertebrae are similar in general structure • 2 factors change when view from cervical to lumbar • Structures become progressively larger • Direction of articulating surfaces change

  7. Facets • Different orientations allow for: • varied degrees of movement between 2 adjacent vertebrae • Change amounts of tension, compression, and shear forces

  8. Vertebral Column Structure • Body of vertebra are load bearing portion of vertebra • Lumbar region bears more load than cervical region • Lumbar region has larger vertebrae

  9. Cervical Vertebrae • Body is more rectangular shaped • Facets are flat and tilted anteriorly • Axis and atlas do not follow basic rules

  10. Thoracic Vertebrae • Body has triangular shape • Facets are set oblique, and angle toward each other slightly

  11. Lumbar Vertebrae • Body is rounder • Bean shaped • Facets are almost vertical and face each other

  12. Intervertebral Disks • Consists of annulus fibrosis and nucleus pulposus

  13. Annulus fibrosis • Outermost layer is regular fibrous tissue • Inner portion is fibrocartilage • Concentric layers

  14. Nucleus Pulposus • Distributes stresses between vertebrae during flexion and extension • Lateral movements also • Forward bending = backward movement • Backward bending = forward movement

  15. Disk Damage • Compression and shear of vertebral discs is associated with LBP • 3 factors that increase shear and compression • Amount of weight lifted • Distance held from the vertebral column • Amount of trunk flexion used when lifting

  16. Ligaments of Vertebral Column • Anterior longitudinal ligament • Posterior longitudinal ligament

  17. Ligaments of Vertebral Column • Supraspinous ligament • Interspinous ligament

  18. Ligaments of Vertebral Column • Ligamentum flavum • Intertransverse ligament

  19. Ligaments of Vertebral Column • Ligamentum nuchae • Atlantoaxial ligament • Transverse ligament • Hangman’s ligament • Transverse process to transverse process of atlas

  20. Movement in the Spine • Movement between individual vertebrae • Movement of entire region • Movement of entire spine

  21. Movements of the Spine

  22. Vertebral Column Stability • Weak bony stability • Most stability from ligaments and muscles • Muscle stabilizers • Abdominals • Prevent hyperextension • Erector spinae • Compresses column

  23. Thorax • 12 Thoracic vertebrae • 12 pairs of ribs • 1st 7 have direct cartilaginous connection to sternum • Lower 5 connected to sternum by cartilaginous connection to the 7th costal cartilage or not at all

  24. Trunk and Movement • Trunk helps to contribute force to movement • Movement of intervertebral joints position trunk so that the upper extremity is in optimal position • Throwing tasks

  25. Spinal Muscles • Spinal muscle group • O & I on spinous process • Transversospinal muscle group • O on transverse process; I on spinous process • Spinotransversal muscle group • O on spinous process; I on transverse process
