Contribution of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum Muscle Size on Long Distance Runners

چکیده
A hypertrophy of psoas muscle (PM) is assigned to be one of the major determinants for sprint running [2]. Moreover, the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles related to the sprint performance [3]. These results suggest that higher sprint performance require the stabilization of the trunk lateral movement. The main function of PM is to flex the thigh on the pelvis, but also counteract as lateral flexion of the lower vertebral column. The functions of quadratus lumborum (QL) was considered as lateral flexion of lumbar spine. Therefore, activating unilateral PM with complementary activating contra-lateral QL can stabilize the lumbar spine during running.

Staphylococcus Aureus is a Gram-positive cocci bacteria which had been found to be the causative organism in over 88% of patients with primary iliopsoas abscess. We report the case of a 53-year-old diabetic woman with end-stage renal failure diagnosed with left iliopsoas abscess with a catheter-related infection. Computed tomogram (CT) of abdomen and pelvis revealed hypodense lesions of left ps...

Computed tomography scans of 96 women aged between 40 and 63 years were systematically measured to determine torso muscle moment arms and cross-sectional areas at L 2L 3, L 3L 4 and L 4L 5 disc levels. The major findings were as follows: (1) the mean muscle moment arm and area data were not different bilaterally; (2) psoas, quadratus lumborum, and latissimus dorsi muscle moment arms consistentl...

Various actions on the lumbar spine have been attributed to quadratus lumborum, but they have not been substantiated by quantitative data. The present study was undertaken to determine the magnitude of forces and moments that quadratus lumborum could exert on the lumbar spine. The fascicular anatomy of quadratus lumborum was studied in six embalmed cadavers. For each fascicle, the sites of atta...

Quantitative descriptions of muscle architecture are needed to characterize the force-generating capabilities of muscles. This study reports the architecture of three major trunk muscles: the rectus abdominis, quadratus lumborum, and three columns of the erector spinae (spinalis thoracis, longissimus thoracis and iliocostalis lumborum). Musculotendon lengths, muscle lengths, fascicle lengths, s...

Heterotopic ossification is a benign process of mature laminar bone formation in the soft tissues. A synonymous term used to describe this pathology in muscle is myositis ossificans. The pathogenesis is unclear, but is likely multifactorial. The basic pathology is thought to be ectopic production of osseous tissue as part of a repair process in response to tissue injury. This report describes a...
