Description[edit|edit source]

Musculus splenius capitis is one of the deep (or intrinsic) muscles of the back. It is a broad strap-like muscle in the back of the neck. Deep to Sternocleidomastoid at the mastoid process.[1]

起源[edit|edit source]

Lower half ofligamentum nuchae(C4-C6) and spinous process of C7-T3[2][3]

插入[edit|edit source]

Superior nuchal line, Mastoid process of temporal bone, and rough surface adjoining occipital bone[2][3]

Nerve Supply[edit|edit source]

Dorsal ramus of spinal nerves C3-C6[2]

Blood Supply[edit|edit source]

Muscular branches of the occipital artery from the external carotid artery.[2]

Action[edit|edit source]

Acting bilaterally: extension of the head and cervical spine
Acting unilaterally: lateral flexion of the head and neck and rotation the head to the same side.[3]

Function[edit|edit source]

It also assists in supporting the head in the erect position[1]

在颈部疼痛的人表明,交流tivity of superficial muscles and splenius capitis and inhibition ofSemispinalis Cervicis[4]

So in management of neck pain we have to focus on exercises that has more specification to activateSemispinalis Cervicisand to perform stretch and myofascial release to splenius capitis .
