    Lumbar Spine

    Uploaded by

    Vanessa Lo
    The document discusses assessing the lumbar spine, including palpating bony points like the spinous processes and facet joints, marking the zygapophyseal joints, demonstrating full active and passive range of motion of the lumbar spine, performing accessory movements like central and unilateral posterior-anterior glides and transverse glides, identifying muscles like the rectus abdominus, internal and external obliques, and erector spinae, demonstrating muscle activity such as the muscle belly or tendon of one of these muscles, and discussing topics like the number of lumbar vertebrae, features of a typical lumbar vertebra, classification of joints in the lumbar spine, and the lumbar and sacral plexuses.
