Dorsal Muscles refer to the muscles located on the back of the body. This extensive group includes various muscles that contribute to the stability, movement, and overall functionality of the back and spine. The erector spinae muscles are a prominent part of the dorsal muscles, running along the spine and playing a vital role in maintaining an upright posture. Other muscles, such as the latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and rhomboids, contribute to movements like shoulder adduction, scapular retraction, and spinal extension. These muscles are involved in a wide range of activities, from maintaining proper posture to facilitating complex movements like lifting and pulling. Strengthening dorsal muscles is crucial for overall spinal health, preventing issues like back pain and promoting proper biomechanics. Injuries to dorsal muscles can occur due to overuse, poor ergonomics, or trauma. Physical therapy and targeted exercises are often employed for rehabilitation. Understanding the anatomy and function of dorsal muscles is essential for healthcare professionals, especially in the fields of orthopaedics and rehabilitation, to address conditions related to the back and spine effectively.
