Question

1.What happens to the spinous process when you flex and extend the spine?
2. What has to move to make the ASIS and PSIS move?

Explanation / Answer

1.Spinous process is the elongated process present in the posterior aspect of vertebra. Various segments of vertebra contains spinous process of characteristic shape however all of them are common is their direction i.e. they are posteriorly directed.

When vertebral column is flexing or extending spinous process moves in superior or inferior plane

In spinal flexion, spinous process moves in superior direction

In spinal extension spinous process moves in inferior direction

Q2. ASIS is anterior superior iliac spine

PSIS is posterior superior iliac spine

ASIS and PSIS moves on hip flexion or extension

Hip flexion/extension is achieved via thigh movement

During hip flexion thigh is moved forward, and during hip extension hip moves backward

Q3.when femur is adducted

The long axis of femur moves in there fore greater troachenter which is on the upper portion of femur moves outward

There is external rotation of greater trochanter
