A tendon conects the muscle to bone, though some muscles are directly attached to bone without a tendon connecting them. Ligaments are a simular tissue, but connect one bone to another.\nMuscle spindles are a sensory fibre in muscles that are trigered by muscular contraction.

In the case of thoracic extension dysfunctions, which may include rotation and lateral bending dysfunctional elements, compensation for such extension restrictions will occur in sacral areas, but especially in the lower lumbar spine. Lower lumbar compensation will be in the form of increased extension. Increased extension will cause increased posterior disc and facet compression. This can lead to increased sacral counter-nutation and AS ilium fixation dysfunctions. The same principle applies to upper lumbar extension restrictions. The result of this can be low back pain, hip pain/disorders, groin strain/discomfort, and various knee complaints. Correction of the thoracic and upper lumbar extension fixations can result in partial or complete release of the AS ilium fixations.\n\nThis concept especially holds true with congenitally or acquired thoracic round back disorders (hyperkyphotic thoracic spines). You can see this also with hyperkyphotic scoliosis. Kyphosis may extend into the upper lumbar spine, causing increased lumbar lordosis and lumbar facet compression. Within this hyperkyphosis, you can find specific extension restrictions. The existence of extension restrictions increases the rigidity of the thoracic region, as well as the lumbar extension compensation and posterior compartment compression. Correction of this type of situation can be twofold:\n\n   1. adjustment of the thoracic and upper lumbar extension fixations to reduce the AS compensatory fixations;\n\n   2. use of a device, such as Health Bridges, to increase the extension of the thoracic and upper lumbar regions. These are wooden arcs in three different degrees of angulation. For more specific point extension stretching, a towel may be rolled up and lied upon in the supine position, changing the towel position every few minutes. These methods can be used on any thoracic/upper lumbar spine needing more extension flexibility. \n\nThe positions for adjusting the thoracic and upper lumbar dysfunctions are:\n\n   1. Prone. This works well in many cases, but has limitations. It can create problems for some patients, such as when adjusting the upper thoracic region, and the lower thoracic/upper lumbar regions.\n\n   2. Supine adjusting. This works well for many doctors and patients. There are some problems with this position, as follows:\n\n         1. Some low back pain patients cannot recline in the supine position.\n         2. Some doctors develop low back pain with the frequent bending forward.\n\n   3. Wall adjusting. This technique is like supine adjusting, except against the wall. It works well when it can be done. It is difficult if the doctor is small.\n\n   4. Incline adjusting. This is the use of a bench table with an incline attachment. It is a standard adjusting bench with a headpiece and an adjustable bench top. The caudal end of the table can be raised to any angle up to about 45-50 degrees. The patient sits and straddles the table and leans back against the raised backboard (as opposed to standing or lying supine). The patient is adjusted as in the supine type of adjusting. There are several benefits here:\n\n         1. The doctor does not have to bend very much.\n         2. The patient does not have to lie supine and may sit.\n         3. It is easier to adjust upper lumbar extension fixations. On some individuals, I can adjust down to L-3 and L-4 levels. This allows lumbar adjusting without twisting and permits direct extension correction.\n\nI use this incline table much of the time, but I mix up the above adjusting positions based upon the problem and build of the patient. The incline table is like oxygen. You don't always need it, but it can save the day. Other tables are similar and pre-date this table, such as the Pettibon style tables. The incline table I prefer uses a caudal incline, and the Pettibon-style uses a cephalic inclination. This table style also is narrower, allowing for easier straddling in the seated position.

Are you kidding? You are REALLY a Thoracic Surgeon, but can't find info on thoracic outlet syndrome? You realize this is a forum "staffed" by 12 year olds, stay at home moms, insomniacs, and other bored people (and the occasional surgery resident sitting at a nurses station while on call waiting for a ****ing CT scan). \n\nSabiston has rarely failed me... medline search. I'm sure vascular, orthopedic, or neurology journals would be more helpful than Yahoo Answers.

The muscles have a certain muscle tone (partial contraction) which keeps the body upright instead of limp. This is all your muscles, not just in your back. However, your back does have the long muscles running down your spinal chord (the name escapes me currently which makes me sad). Also, your leg muscles will partially contract to keep your legs upright.\n\nUnless you're dead, medicated, or paralyzed - your muscles will always have a partial contraction (aka tone).

The shoulder or pectoral girdle consists of articulations between the clavicle, scapula and the proximal end of the humerus. Simply the joint.\n\nShoulder is the general term we use every day which consists of the muscles of deltoid and trapezius.

Your back goes out as a result of unequal muscles on either side of the spine.. There is considerable need to attempt to stretch the shorter muscle to be equal with the larger one. These muscles are what holds your back in place and carry an equal load.. When one side is doing the greater load bearing, it will cause your vertebrae to move into unatural position and start a process of inflammation and tissue edema.. Often times to loss of mobility.\n\nWould suggest you visit a doctor of Chiropractic. One who recommends specific stretching for you to do at home.. Need to ask that question before going to see one.

i dont know the anatomical terms but if your really into it you need really strong leg muscles. you also need a really strong core. ski racing takes a lot of muscles and you need to devolope them

I once had something close to your injury.  It hurt to breathe, but I was able to still workout.  Just like you I could only inhale so much air before it hurt.  My chiropractor told me my "rib was out."  I let him adjust me, and it was instantly better.  If you don't believe in chiropractors, then I would definitely follow up with my doctor.  Your lungs need to expand, so breath as much as you can!  I think it is fine to use your arm on that side of your body, but if possible keep the chest wrap on.  Unfortunately for the ribs and surrounding muscles, you have to wait for them to heal.  If your pain is still severe go back to the doctor and make him/her give you something stronger for the pain, and maybe even suggest an MRI???

- lower back\n\n- some abs, but not much as lower back muscles are much more important\n\n- butt\n\n- triceps\n\n- anterior tibilias (the muscle near the shin)\n\n- most of your quad and calves\n\n- rectus femoris. you won't see this muscle unless you ride a lot \n\n- hamstrings\n\n- some forearm\n\n- hip flexors\n\nthose are justa few indescript muscles...

There is no F.  The vertebrae are divided into C (cervical), T (thorax), L (lumbar), S (sacral) and O (coccyx)
