Introduction[edit | edit source]
There are three major groups of back muscles:
- Superficial: attached to the shoulder girdle
- Intermediate: attached to the posterior thorax
- Deep: attached to the vertebral column, also known as the intrinsic muscle group[1]
These groups serve to allow: flexion/extension, rotation, and side bending of the back; movement of the limbs; locomotor function; and assistance in the respiratory effort[2].
Generalized back pain is a common presenting symptom for patients. The underlying etiology of the pain commonly traces to a strain of the skeletal muscle[2].
