Assessment und Rehabilitation der stabilisierenden Funktion des M. psoas major[1]

Zusammenfassung

Der M. psoas major als der größte Muskel im unteren LWS-Bereich trägt zur körperlichen Stabilität bei. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt das klinische Assessment und die Rehabilitationsstrategien zur stabilisierenden Funktion des M. psoas major dar. Ein besseres Verständnis dieser Funktion kann die klinische Behandlung von damit im Zusammenhang stehenden Dysfunktionen verbessern.

Abstract

Psoas major muscle as the largest muscle at lower levels of lumbar spine provides physical stability. This article portrays clinical assessment and rehabilitation strategies of the stability function of psoas major. Better understanding of its function may improve clinical management of related dysfunction.

Schlüsselwörter
