1. Muscles involved in the Anterior Oblique subsystem (AOS)
Internal Oblique and adductor complex, external oblique and hip external rotators
2. Function of anterior oblique subsystem
provides transverse plane stabilization and force transmission necessary for functional activities involving
the trunk and extremities Provides rotation of the pelvis *provides dynamic stabilization of lumbo-pelvic-
hip complex
3. Muscles involved in the lateral subsystem (LS)

4. Function of lateral subsystem (LS) frontal plan stability and pelvo-femoral stability,
5. Dysfunction in the Lateral subsystem (LS) is evident by
increased pronation of the knee, hip, or feet during walking, squats, lunges or climbing chairs
6. Unwanted frontal plane movement is characterized by
Decreased strength and neuromuscular control in the lateral subsystem (LS)
7. The anterior subsystem (AOS) functions in the in which plane transverse
8. Force couple
the synergistic action of a muscle to produce movement around a joint
9. length tension relationships
the resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce while resting
10. The global stabilization subsystem in predominantly responsible for LPHC stabilization and
eccentric deceleration
11. The global stabilization subsystem consists of
Superficial musculature that originates from the pelvis to the ribcage, the lower extremities or both
, NASM CES EXAM PREP
