Thoracolumbar fascia

The larger trunk muscles and muscles of the abdominal wall attach to the passive structures of the thoracolumbar fascia to form a loop around the abdomen (Kibler et al., 2006). The abdominal fascia makes up the front of this hoop structure, with the abdominal muscles forming the sides, and the lumbodorsal fascia at the back (McGill, 2004). The proximal muscles of the upper limb (including pectoralis major anteriorly and latissimus dorsi posteriorly) and lower limb (in particular gluteus maximus) also attach to the thoracolumbar fascia – providing a link between lower and upper limbs (Kibler et al., 2006). Together, these muscles and passive structures serve as a stabilizing corset, with the attaching upper- and lower-limb muscles providing additional stiffness to the 'corset' when activated (McGill, 2004).
