Splenius Capitis
Laterally flex head & rotate face to side; bilaterally extend head
Splenius Cervicis
Laterally flex & rotate nect; bilaterally extend neck
Iliocostalis Lumborum
Extension, lateral flexion, rotation of L spine; lateral movement of pelvis
Iliocostalis Thoracis
Extension, lateral flexion T spine
Iliocostalis Cervicis
Extension, lateral flexion, rotation lower C spine
Longissimus Thoracis
Lateral flexion T spine & ribs (L spine inadvertently); bilaterally act in extension of T & L spine, hold T & L spine erect (increases L lordosis); Lateral movement of pelvis
Longissimus Cervicis
Lateral flexion of neck, bilaterally extend neck
Longissimus capitis
rotate & laterally flex head; bilaterally extend head
Spinalis Thoracis
extend T spine
Spinalis Cervicis
lateral flexion & rotation of C spine; bilaterally extend neck
Spinalis Capitis
lateral flexion & rotation of head; bilaterally extend head
Semispinalis Thoracis
Extension, rotation & lateral flexion of upper T & Lower C spine; bilaterally extend T spine
Semispinalis Cervicis
Extension, rotation & lateral flexion of C spine; bilaterally extend neck
Semispinalis Capitis
Turns face to side; bilaterally extends head (neck inadvertently)
Rectus Capitis Posterior Major
Turns face to side; bilaterally extends head
Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor
Extends head
Obliquus Capitis Superior
Lateral flexion of head; bilaterally extends head
Obliquus Capitis Inferior
turns face to side
Quadratus lumborum
steadies origin of diaphragm; when pelvis is fixed, it will laterally flex the L spine; bilaterally extends the L spine; stabilizes & depresses the 12th rib
Serratus Posterior Superior
Elevate upper 5 ribs in inspiration
Serratus Posterior Inferior
Draws lower 4 ribs down & back; forced inspiration
Longus Colli
Flexion & extension of neck; rotation to the contralateral side
Longus Capitis
flex the head
Rectus Capitis Anterior
Flex the head
