Introduction[edit | edit source]
The spinalis muscle group are part of the the erector spinae (ES) group (the intermediate layer of the intrinsic muscles of the back). This ES is made of three subgroups, with the group divisions occurring by location.
- Spinalis subgroup is the most medial
- Longissimus subgroup is between spinalis and iliocostalis
- Iliocostalis subgroup is the most lateral
The erector spinae muscles, which spinalis belong to, are the most powerful extensors of the spine.
The spinalis thoracis is the major spinalis muscle, arising from the bones of the lower thoracic and upper lumbar vertebral spine and inserted into the bones of the upper thoracic vertebral spine. The spinalis capitis and spinalis cervicis are variably developed and variably present. .[1][2]
