    A 3-inch wide lower rib-compression belt is fitted above the iliac crests and tightly adjusted to provide pressure on the lower ribs. Since the lower ribs are attached to the sternum by flexible hyaline cartilage , they can be pushed inward with ease, and as a result, the compression shifts the ribs away from the iliac crests, preventing ...

    Iliocostalis muscle has a common origin from the iliac crest, the sacrum, the thoracolumbar fascia, and the spinous processes of the vertebrae from T11 to L5. [1]Iliocostalis cervicis (cervicalis ascendens) arises from the angles of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs, and is inserted into the posterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae.
