The psoas major muscle: A three-dimensional geometric study
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to use anatomical data obtained from cadavers, and geometrical scaling data obtained from MRI scans of living subjects, to assess the line of action and mechanical function of the psoas major muscle in three dimensions about each lumbar spine level. In addition, the line of action of the psoas major was documented as a function of lordosis. A total of seven cadavers were dissected from which fibre/tendon …
