VA disability ratings for Muscle Injuries (The Torso and Neck): Muscles of the Abdominal Wall (Rectus Abdominis; External Oblique; Internal Oblique; Transversalis; Quadratus Lumborum), Spinal Muscles (Sacrospinalis (Erector Spinae and its Prolongations in
The muscles in the torso and neck play vital roles in supporting posture, allowing respiration, and facilitating various movements of the spine, neck, and head. Injuries to these muscles can affect breathing, balance, and essential bodily functions. In this video by Deck Plate we will understand the VA disability ratings for Muscle Injuries (The Torso and Neck): Muscles of the Abdominal Wall (Rectus Abdominis; External Oblique; Internal Oblique; Transversalis; Quadratus Lumborum), Spinal Muscles (Sacrospinalis (Erector Spinae and its Prolongations in Thoracic and Cervical Regions)), Muscles of Respiration (Thoracic Muscle Group), Muscles of the Front of the Neck (Lateral, Supra-, and Infrahyoid Group), Muscles of the Side and Back of the Neck (Suboccipital, Lateral Vertebral, and Anterior Vertebral Muscles).
