Description[edit | edit source]

Iliocostalis Lumborum belongs to the lateral column of the Sacrospinalis group of muscles.[1] 


iliocostalis lumborum

Origin[edit | edit source]

Anterior surface of a broad and thick tendon w attached to the medial crest of sacrum, spinous processes of the lumbar vertebrae, 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae, posterior part of the medial lip of iliac crest, supra-spinous ligament and the lateral crest of sacrum[2].

Insertion[edit | edit source]

By tendons into inferior borders of the angles of the lower 6 or 7 ribs[2][3]


Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]

Dorsal rami of thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves (T7 to L3)[4]


Blood Supply[edit | edit source]

Dorsal branches of the lumbar arteries from the aorta. Dorsal branches of the lateral sacral artery from the internal iliac artery.[4]


Action[edit | edit source]

  • acting bilaterally, extension and hyperextension of the spine
  • acting unilaterally, laterally flexes the spine[3]
  • assists as an accessory muscle of expiration, due to its insertion on the ribs[5].

Function[edit | edit source]

postural stabilization of vertebral column[4]
