Primarily quadratus lumborum, unilateral contraction of spinalis muscles (you can feel these contract in your lower-mid back on the side to which you're bending against resistance) and, to a lesser extent, oblique muscles.

What is the definition of lateral flexion?

Lateral flexion usually refers to the spine, or vertebral column. You can laterally flex your head, neck, or your torso (back). =answer= Lateral direction is away from the midline of the body (an imaginary line from the middle of your node to your belly button). Flexion is the opposite to extension where the angle between anterior surfaces is decreased (as you being then closer together by 'bending') - except for the knee where the opposite is true. Lateral flexion is therefore a combination of there two movements.

What is trunk bending?

Trunk bending refers to the movement of the torso forward, backward, or sideways. It involves flexion, extension, or lateral flexion of the spine to bring the upper body closer to the lower body or to move it away from the midline. Trunk bending exercises are common in fitness routines to improve core strength and flexibility.

What 6 movements do we have in the hip?

The six movements of the hip are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Flexion brings the thigh closer to the torso, while extension moves it away. Abduction moves the thigh away from the midline, and adduction brings it back toward the midline. Internal and external rotation involve rotating the thigh inward or outward, respectively.

What is the proper technique for conducting a shoulder flexion measurement?

To conduct a shoulder flexion measurement, have the individual stand with their arms at their sides. Then, ask them to slowly raise their arm straight up in front of them as far as they can without bending their elbow. Use a goniometer to measure the angle between their arm and their torso at the highest point of the movement. This measurement indicates the degree of shoulder flexion.


What does the oblique muscular layer of stomach do?

The obliques function to pull the chest downwards and compress the abdominal wall. It also has some actions in both flexion and rotation of the vertebral column. The obliques contracting on one side can create lateral flexion on that side.
