The multifidus (multifidus spinae; pl.: multifidi) muscle consists of a number of fleshy and tendinous fasciculi, which fill up the groove on either side of the spinous processes of the vertebrae, from the sacrum to the axis.
The multifidus muscle is a long, narrow muscle that runs down both sides of the spine and has several attachment points: The thoracic spine of the middle back. The lumbar spine of the lower back. The iliac spine at the base of the wing-shape iliac bone of the pelvis.
Multifidus is a group of short, triangular muscles that along with the semispinalis and rotatores comprises the transversospinal group of deep back muscles. They are the thickest muscles in the transversospinal group, and are shorter than semispinalis, but longer than rotatores.
Your spine needs the support of all its surrounding muscles, but the multifidus are critical to prevent it from collapsing under the weight it supports. Use these multifidus exercises to build and maintain a strong, stable, and pain-free spine that will make living your active lifestyle a breeze.
The multifidus muscle is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine. It functions together with transversus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles for spine stability. Multifidus muscle weakness and atrophy is associated with chronic low back pain.
The multifidus is a group of short, fleshy muscles spanning the entire spinal cord, located on either side of the cervical to lumbar vertebrae. Their primary function is to stabilize the vertebral joints and the spinal cord. These short muscles belong to the transversospinales muscle group, forming the deep layer of the intrinsic back muscles.
The multifidus muscle provides stiffness, stability, and support to the spinal column. It allows each vertebra to work more efficiently, and as a result, the muscle guards against spinal joint ...
The multifidus is a deep muscle of the back. It is located underneath the semispinalis muscle and most developed in the lumbar area. Attachments: Has a broad origin – arises from the sacrum, posterior iliac spine, common tendinous origin of the erector spinae, lumbar vertebrae, transverse processes of T1-T3 and articular processes of C4-C7.
The multifidus muscle is a key player in the complex muscular system of the human back. It’s one of the smaller, yet significant muscles that contributes to spinal stability, efficient movement, and posture.
