Posterior Oblique Subsystem (POS)

Before reading this article click on introduction to core subsystem  Structures are involved : Latissimus dorsi, Thoracolumbar fascia, Gluteus maximus Superior portion or gluteus medius. Function (Brief): IT stabilize the posterior kinetic chain Which including lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint. It transfers the force between us upper extremity and lower extremities eventually, integrated pulling movement of […]
