POLESTAR PILATES EXAM 2024 PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (SOLVED)
What is "tripod WB" refering to in the spine?
disc in front and facets in back
Local muscles or deep local stabilizers primary job is
proprioception and stiffness -
These are muscles that have unique control over the posturing of our head.
These deep local muscles: the Rectus Capitus Posterior, the Oblique Capitus
Superior and the Oblique Capitus Inferior.
In anticipation of movement, the Transverse Abdominis
Activates sub-consciously and sub-threshold
The primary purpose of the rectus abdominis is to:
,POLESTAR PILATES EXAM 2024
Accelerate or decelerate flexion and extension of the spine
The deep muscles of the back (multifidi and rotatores):
Create stiffness and control around the spine based on the anticipated activity
Which of the following is true regarding fascia?
Fascia is a living, dynamic, communicating tissue in our body that links all of our
cells together
Prevents collapse or shift forward of spinal vertebrae
The Anterior Longitudinal Ligament:
The ligamentum flavum is different from other ligaments as it is:
Yellow, elastic, made to stretch and expand
Pelvic ligaments:
Are extremely thick ligaments that connect the ilium and sacrum together
, POLESTAR PILATES EXAM 2024
wraps all the way around the body and connects to the posterior lumbar
fascia, or the thoracolumbar fascia. It draws
on the rectus sheath and on the thoracolumbar
fascia, which is filled with the erector spinae and the multifidi muscles.
TA
The psoas major ascends
and has a relationship with our spine.
It ascends past the lumbar spine,
and has insertions up through the diaphragm
into the lower thoracic spine in the anterior body
or the anterior lateral body of the vertebra. This is very important.
What connects the arm to the thoracolumbar fascia?
the latissimus dorsi muscle
These pelvic floor sphincters are suspended
and held in place by this sling.
This is called the pubococcygeus muscle
