STOTT Pilates Matwork Exam- Muscle
Balance
How many predominant companies are there in anterior-posterior muscle opposition for the
pelvis? - ANS-Four main businesses. Upward pull anterior & posterior and downward pull
anterior and posterior.
How many fundamental businesses are there in lateral opposition of the pelvis? - ANS-Two
important groups. Leg abductors and lateral trunk muscular tissues.
The pelvis pivots inside the femora. What ways does the pelvis pass? (pelvis) -
ANS-Anteriorposterior, diagonally to tilt forward or returned and laterally.
What are the advantages of STOTT pilates? - ANS-Longer, leaner muscle groups, middle power
and stability, injury prevention, remedy from stress and again pain, better posture, advanced
stability and coordination, stronger athletic potential, powerful submit- rehab, heightened
body-thoughts awareness, elevated self- confidence
What are the opposing muscle tissues to the dorsiflexors of the foot? (foot- anteriorposterior) -
ANS-Plantar Flexors
What are the opposing muscle groups to the Quads? (knee- anteriorposterior) -
ANS-Hamstrings, Gastrocnemius, and Popliteus
What are the opposing muscle tissue to the Tibials? (foot- lateral/ rotary) - ANS-Peroneals
What do the lateral trunk muscle groups do to movement of the pelvis? - ANS-Pull up laterally at
the pelvis. They are connected to the lateral crest of the illium.
What do the leg abductors do to tilt the pelvis? - ANS-Mainly the Gluteus minimus and the
medius pull down on the pelvis while the leg is constant in status. These muscle groups rise up
from the lateral facet of the pelvis.
What does distal imply? - ANS-Away from the trunk of the body
What does lateral mean? - ANS-Away from the midline of the frame
What does medial suggest? - ANS-Towards the midline of the body
What does proximal mean? - ANS-Closer to the trunk of the body
What mucles oppose the clockwise rotation of the trunk (rotary) ? - ANS-counterclockwise
rotation muscular tissues
What muscle tissues purpose a downward pull anteriorly of the pelvis? (pelvis anteriorposterior)
- ANS-Hip flexors, such as the rectus femoris, tensor faciae latae and sartorius with attachments
to the anterior, advanced and inferior spines of the ilium, the iliopsoas, with attachment at the
lumbar backbone and inner floor of the ilium.
What muscle mass purpose the upward pull anteriorly of the pelvis? (pelvis anteriorposterior) -
ANS-Anterior abs, specifically the rectus abdominis with its insertion at the symphysis pubis and
the external indirect with its attachment on the anterior iliac crest.
What muscle tissues cause the upward pull posteriorly of the pelvis? (pelvis- anteriorposterior) -
ANS-Erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, and other posterior again muscle tissue.
