Consistency in size and asymmetry of the psoas major muscle among elite footballers

open access: yesBritish Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009
ObjectiveTo determine, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the psoas major (PM) muscle across multiple vertebral levels, to examine any asymmetry of the PM muscle and investigate the consistency across vertebral levels, and to determine whether a relationship exists between low back pain (LBP) and the size or ...

The principal artery of the psoas major muscle

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 1989
The psoas major m. has a complex arterial supply, derived from the lumbar, iliolumbar, obturator, external iliac and common femoral a. The branches arising from the external iliac a., though quite often multiple and slender, are represented in 75% of cases by a single large-caliber vessel. This principal artery of the psoas m.

Direct Electromyography of the Psoas Major Muscle in Man

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1966
Electromyographic studies of the psoas major muscle were performed on five patients with wire electrodes implanted directly into the muscle during lumbar sympathectomy. Recordings made during various activities, approximately ten days after operation, indicated that this muscle has a regular and significant role in advancing the limb while walking and ...

Composition of the rat psoas major muscle

2015
Introduction. Rat psoas major muscle arises from lumbar vertebrae and inserts at the lesser trochanter of the femur. Unlike humans, the rat is a quadruped, and only occasionally rises on its hind legs. Therefore, composition of the rat psoas major muscle is expected to differ in relation to humans. Material and methods.
