Lumbar apophyseal joints are oriented nearly
Vertically
vertically in the sagittal plane and function as gliding joints with a small degree of rotation and flexion-extension movement. The orientation of these joints allows for stability and resistance to shear forces, while also allowing for some degree of movement in several planes. Due to this orientation, the lumbar apophyseal joints play a significant role in providing structural support for the lower back, aiding in weight-bearing activities, and protecting against injury. Understanding the anatomy and function of these joints is essential for addressing and managing lower back pain and conditions that affect the lumbar spine.
