lateral flexion
rotation
flexion
extension
An anterior pelvic tilt is naturally accompanied by
increased lordosis of lumbar spine
decrease lordosis of lumbar spine
strong activation of abdominals
maximal elongation of hip flexors
Which of the following motion decrease the diameter of intervertebral foramen?
flexion
extension
Which of the following statement best describes an anterior spondylolisthesis?
reduced flexion of the cervical vertebrae
elongation of the ligamentum flavum
anterior slippage, or translation, of one vertebra relative to another
elongation of anterior longitudinal ligament and the rectus abdominis muscle
Forward flexion of the lumbar spine involves
elongation of the anterior longitudinal ligament
increased diameter of the intervertebral foramen
posterior migration of the nucleus pulposus
anterior migration of the nucleus pulposus
Torticollis is typically caused by:
tightness of the lumbar erector spinae muscles
tightness of the sternocleidomastoid
excessive lateral flexion of the thoracic and lumbar spine
weakness of the quadratus lumborum
Which of the following statement is true regarding the external oblique muscle?
activation of the right external oblique produces rotation to the left
activation of the right external oblique produces rotation to the right
bilateral activation of the external obliques can produce a posterior pelvic tilt
Which of the following muscles or muscles group is involved with producing an anterior pelvic tilt?
erector spinae
hip flexors
rectus abdominis
Which of the following statements is true regarding scoliosis?
scoliosis refers primarily to a frontal plane deviation in the thoracolumbar regions of the vertebral column
scoliosis is named by the concave side of the spinal curve
scoliosis is named by the convex side of the spinal curve
Which muscle is part of transversospinal muscle group?
multifidus
internal oblique
iliocostalis
transverse abdominis
Lateral flexion of the cervical spine occurs in the
frontal plane
sagittal plane
horizontal plane
Performing a full sitt up requires strong activation of the
quadratus lumborum and erector spinae
iliocostalis and transversospinal muscles
iliopsoas and rectus abdominis
scalenes and suboccipital muscles
The right quadratus lumborum is able to
rotate the lumbar spine to the left
hike the left side of the pelvis
hike the right side of the pelvis
laterally flex the trunk to the left
Which of the following muscles is referred to as a corset muscle owing to its primary function of increasing intra-abdominal pressure?
quadratus lumborum
erector spinae

true
false
The dens is a bony projection found on the first cervical vertebrae
true
false
The amount of lateral flexion in thoracic region is largely limited by articulation of the ribs with the thoracic vertebrae
True

True
False
