前言:四塊枕下肌分別是:頭后大直肌,頭后小直肌,頭上斜肌和頭下斜肌。它們的肌梭密度都較高。肌梭能感知肌肉的長(zhǎng)度和肌肉長(zhǎng)度變化的頻率,并將信息整合傳遞給中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng),中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)利用這些信息來(lái)保持肌肉張力,身體姿勢(shì)和平衡。雖然枕下肌肉主要功能是幫助頭部伸展和頭部旋轉(zhuǎn),但因?yàn)槠渌^大的肌肉也參與頭部的這些運(yùn)動(dòng),所以大部分研究人員認(rèn)為,頭后直肌在頭部運(yùn)動(dòng)中只起到很小的作用。上頸關(guān)節(jié)發(fā)生的很小屈曲的動(dòng)作也會(huì)引發(fā)椎旁肌內(nèi)肌梭大量傳入信息。因此枕下肌這種本體感受的作用,使得它們可能與姿勢(shì)調(diào)節(jié),頭部運(yùn)動(dòng)以及感知關(guān)節(jié)運(yùn)動(dòng)和位置有關(guān)。1995年,研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)在寰枕間隙,頭后小直肌和硬脊膜之間存在一個(gè)致密的結(jié)締組織連接。這個(gè)致密的結(jié)締組織連接被稱為肌硬膜橋。后來(lái)眾多學(xué)者通過(guò)大體解剖,組織學(xué)和塑化技術(shù)驗(yàn)證了肌硬膜橋這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)。頭后直肌,頭下斜肌和項(xiàng)韌帶都被證實(shí)會(huì)通過(guò)寰枕、寰樞間隙,參與形成肌硬膜橋。枕下肌與慢性頭痛,慢性頸痛(不是慢性,潛伏性頸痛)以及緊張型頭痛之間存在關(guān)系,但原因卻不清楚。研究表明有慢性頸部疼痛、緊張型頭痛以及頸部扭傷相關(guān)疾病的患者,其枕下肌肉存在脂肪浸潤(rùn)和橫截面積顯著減少的現(xiàn)象。相反,在慢性...
