ABDOMINAL LINKS- the abdominals are often discussed and trained as one muscular core unit. While the abdominal complex does indeed behave as a global system d...uring certain stability tasks, it has functional subunits that have interesting individual characteristics that are only revealed during movement. This picture shows these different muscles and their fiber orientation. The role of these muscles are diverse but the fiber directions reveal their actions. Transversus Abdominus (Deepest,Red) has horizontal fibers, fascially connects to the thoracolumbar fascia and primarily serves to stabilize the pelvis and lumbar spine with synergistic action of the multifidi. Internal Oblique (Green)- diagonal fibers that originate from the ilium and attach to the linea alba and rib. When IO is engaged bilaterally it pulls the rib to the pelvis, creating trunk stability. However, their unilateral role is to the rotate the trunk ipsilaterally along with the contralateral external oblique (pic 2). The upper 2/3 of the IO wraps around the Rectus abdominis. Rectus Abdominus (Orange) vertical fibers with primary role of trunk flexion and countering lumbar shear forces. External Oblique (yellow) has diagonal fibers that create trunk rotation during gate and are fascially continuous with the Serratus Anterior (blue). When the abdominals contract as a unit, they stabilize the trunk through increased intra-abdominal pressure and force is transferred to the upper limb via the connection of the serratus anterior. That said, static trunk stabilization as in a plank exercise doesn’t train the muscles for their role in movement. In gait, the obliques serve an eccentric role to control trunk rotational forces and allow for smooth movement of the limbs with transfer of forces from lower limb to upper limb. Kumar, et al showed the critical importance of spinal rotation through an artificial restriction/elimination of spinal rotation which resulted in significantly shorter stride length, slower walking velocity, and higher energy consumption in walking. A strong core doesn’t just create spine stiffness but allows for controlled movement of the spine #anatomylinks #anatomy #fascia #biomechanics #spine See more
