  2. Quadratus lumborum muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratus_lumborum_muscle

    The quadratus lumborum muscle originates by aponeurotic fibers into the iliolumbar ligament and the internal lip of the iliac crest for about 5 centimetres (2.0 in). It inserts from the lower border of the last rib for about half its length and by four small tendons from the apices of the transverse processes of the upper four lumbar vertebrae.

  3. Multifidus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifidus_muscle

    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. While very thin, the multifidus muscle plays an important role in stabilizing the joints within the spine.

  4. Erector spinae muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erector_spinae_muscles

    The erector spinae (/ ɪ ˈ r ɛ k t ər ˈ s p aɪ n i / irr-EK-tər SPY-nee) [1] or spinal erectors is a set of muscles that straighten and rotate the back.The spinal erectors work together with the glutes (gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus) to maintain stable posture standing or sitting.

  5. Longissimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longissimus

    The longissimus thoracis et lumborum is the intermediate and largest of the continuations of the erector spinae.. In the lumbar region (longissimus lumborum), where it is as yet blended with the iliocostalis, some of its fibers are attached to the whole length of the posterior surfaces of the transverse processes and the accessory processes of the lumbar vertebrae, and to the anterior layer of ...

  6. Thoracolumbar fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracolumbar_fascia

    The thoracolumbar fascia is thought to be involved in load transfer between the trunk and limb (it is tensioned by the action of the latissimus dorsi muscle, gluteus maximus muscle, and the hamstring muscles), and lifting. [1]: 814–815 It is endowed with nociceptive receptors, and may be involved in some forms of back pain. [1]: 814–815

  7. Psoas major muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psoas_major_muscle

    The superficial part originates from the lateral surfaces of the last thoracic vertebra, lumbar vertebrae L1–L4, and the neighboring intervertebral discs. The lumbar plexus lies between the two layers. [1] Together, the iliacus muscle and the psoas major form the iliopsoas, which is surrounded by the iliac fascia.

  8. Lumbar fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_fascia

    The lumbar fascia binds the deep muscles of the back to the spine and to the transverse processes of the vertebrae. Additionally the lumbar fascia is an attachment for the gluteus maximus muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle. [citation needed]

  9. Spinalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinalis

    Spinalis dorsi, the medial continuation of the sacrospinalis, is scarcely separable as a distinct muscle.It is situated at the medial side of the longissimus dorsi, and is intimately blended with it; it arises by three or four tendons from the spinous processes of the first two lumbar and the last two thoracic vertebrae: these, uniting, form a small muscle which is inserted by separate tendons ...
