The Thoracic Spine:[edit | edit source]
Anatomy:
- It is the longest portion of the spine and runs from the base of the neck to the abdomen
- Connecting to the Cervical Spine above and the Lumbar Spine below
- Contains 12 Vertebrae (T1-T12)
- Each vertebrae has the same make up as the Cervical with slightly longer Spinous Processes
- IVD sit between each Vertebrae
- The Thoracic Spine articulates with the Ribs to add extra support to the rib cage
- T12 does not articulate with a rib
Mobility:
- Less mobile than the cervical and the lumbar spine
- T1-T8 = reduced flexion and extension, but increased axial rotation
- T9-T12 =
