[Purpose] The present study compared the muscle activity of the upper trapezius with
those of the serratus anterior and the lower trapezius when slings, unstable surfaces,
were laterally vibrated, to examine the effects of vibration during sling exercises on
shoulder stabilization muscles. [Methods] The subjects performed push-up exercises on a
sling and maintained isometric contraction in the final stage, while vibration was
manually administered to the rope of the sling during the isometric-contraction stage.
Vibration within a range of 10 cm was delivered for five seconds at a frequency of 1 Hz in
time with a metronome. Vibrations were applied for five seconds at 3 Hz and 3.5 Hz,
respectively. [Results] The serratus anterior showed a significant differences between
isometric contraction with vibration of 3 Hz and isometric contraction with vibration of
3.5 Hz. [Conclusion] The upper trapezius and the lower trapezius showed prominent changes
in muscle activity at 3.5 Hz, and the serratus anterior showed prominent changes in muscle
activity at 3 Hz and 3.5 Hz. Therefore, as vibration frequency increased, making the
load-bearing surface more unstable, the recruitment of the upper trapezius, the lower
trapezius, and the serratus anterior increased. To perform exercises that selectively
strengthen the serratus anterior, the exercises should be performed at a vibration
frequency of 3 Hz.Key words: Vibration, Shoulder joint, Muscle activity 相似文献

[Purpose] Sit-to-walk performance is linked to proper proprioceptive information
processing. Therefore, it is believed that an increase of proprioceptive inflow (using
muscle vibration) might improve sit-to-walk performance. However, before testing muscle
vibration effects on a frail population, assessment of its effects on healthy young people
is necessary. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of muscle
vibration on sit-to-walk performance in healthy young adults. [Subjects and Methods]
Fifteen young adults performed the sit-to-walk task under three conditions: without
vibration, with vibration applied before movement onset, and with vibration applied during
the movement. Vibration was applied bilaterally for 30 s to the tibialis anterior, rectus
femoris, and upper trapezius muscles bellies. The vibration parameters were as follows:
120 Hz and 1.2 mm. Kinematics and kinetic data were assessed using a 3D motion capture
system and two force plates. The coordinates of reflective markers were used to define the
center-of-mass velocities and displacements. In addition, the first step spatiotemporal
variables were assessed. [Results] No vibration effect was observed on any dependent
variables. [Conclusion] The results show that stimulation of the proprioceptive system
with local muscle vibration does not improve sit-to-walk performance in healthy young
adults. 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine the initial effect of local vibration on
the stability of the shoulder joints by applying local vibration to the shoulder joints.
[Subjects and Methods] For the test, the subjects held a FlexBar with one
hand, at about 10 cm from one end, and performed the oscillation movement with the
shoulder at 90° flexion and the elbow in the full-extension position in scaption; the
vibration stimulus was set to 5 Hz. Then, the subjects underwent the Upper Quarter Y
Balance Test to evaluate the stability of the shoulder joints. [Results] The moving
distances in the left, right, and upper directions after the oscillation movement were
increased significantly compared with the results before the oscillation movement.
[Conclusion] A vibration stimulus is effective as an exercise method to increase the
stability of the shoulder joints.Key words: Local vibration, Shoulder joint, Stability 相似文献

[Purpose] This study investigated the changes in pressure pain threshold of the upper
trapezius, levator scapular, and rhomboid muscles during continuous computer work.
[Subjects] Fourteen males and females aged 26–32 years, were recruited. [Methods] A
dolorimeter pressure algometer was used to measure the pressure pain threshold of the
upper trapezius, levator scapular, and rhomboid muscles, respectively, before computer
work and after 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min of computer work. [Results] The pressure pain
threshold of the upper trapezius was significantly decreased after 15 min or more of
computer work. The pressure pain threshold of the levator scapular was significantly
decreased after computer work for 30 min and 60 min. The pressure pain threshold of the
rhomboid muscle was significantly decreased after 60 min of computer work. [Conclusion]
Continuous computer work could produce much more pain in the levator scapular and rhomboid
muscle than the upper trapezius.Key words: Computer worker, Pressure pain threshold, Rhomboid muscle 相似文献

[Purpose] We investigated the effect of vibration at various frequencies on serratus
anterior (SA) muscle activity. [Subjects] Ten male subjects were recruited. [Methods] The
subjects performed the push-up plus exercise supported by straps above the surface and
vertical ropes in the Redcord sling. During the push-up plus, vibrations of 0, 30, 50, or
90 Hz were applied to the Redcord sling using a mechanical vibration apparatus attached to
the rope. SA muscle activity was recorded using electromyography. [Results] SA muscle
activity at the 50 Hz vibration frequency was significantly higher than that of no
vibration. [Conclusion] Performing the push-up plus using a Redcord sling with mechanical
vibration of 50 Hz effectively increased SA muscle activity.Key words: Push-up plus, Mechanical vibration, Serratus anterior 相似文献

[Purpose] Whole-body vibration (WBV) can induce reflex responses in muscles. A number of
studies have reported that the physiological mechanisms underlying this type of reflex
activity can be explained by reference to a stretch-induced reflex. Thus, the primary
objective of this study was to test whether the WBV-induced muscular reflex (WBV-IMR) can
be explained as a stretch-induced reflex. [Subjects and Methods] The present study
assessed 20 healthy males using surface electrodes placed on their right soleus muscle.
The latency of the tendon reflex (T-reflex) as a stretch-induced reflex was compared with
the reflex latency of the WBV-IMR. In addition, simulations were performed at 25, 30, 35,
40, 45, and 50 Hz to determine the stretch frequency of the muscle during WBV. [Results]
WBV-IMR latency (40.5 ± 0.8 ms; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 39.0–41.9 ms) was
significantly longer than T-reflex latency (34.6 ± 0.5 ms; 95% CI: 33.6–35.5 ms) and the
mean difference was 6.2 ms (95% CI of the difference: 4.7–7.7 ms). The simulations
performed in the present study demonstrated that the frequency of the stretch signal would
be twice the frequency of the vibration. [Conclusion] These findings do not support the
notion that WBV-IMR can be explained by reference to a stretch-induced reflex.Key words: Skeletal muscle function, Gravitational physiology, Tonic vibration reflex 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vibratory stimulation
on maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) from delayed onset muscle soreness
(DOMS). [Subjects] Sixty healthy adults participated in this study. The exclusion criteria
were orthopedic or neurologic disease. [Methods] The researchers induced DOMS in the
musculus extensor carpi radialis longus of each participant. Subjects in the control group
received no treatment. The ultrasound group received ultrasound treatment (intensity,
1.0 W/cm2; frequency 1 MHz; time, 10 minutes). The vibration group received
vibration stimulation (frequency, 20 MHz; time, 10 minutes). Maximal voluntary isometric
contraction (MVIC) was recorded at baseline, immediately after exercise, and 24, 48, and
72 hours after exercise. [Results] MVIC measurements showed statistically significant
differences in the vibration group compared with the control group. [Conclusion] Vibratory
stimulation had a positive effect on recovery of muscle function from DOMS.Key words: Vibratory stimulation, Ultrasound, Isometric contraction 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to examine changes in pulmonary functions in
relation to the sleeping positions of the experimental subjects. [Subjects and Methods]
The subjects for this study were twenty randomly selected males and females from K
University. Measurements were taken in the supine position at three different pillow
heights: 0 cm, 5 cm, and 10 cm. Pulmonary functions (vital capacity, tidal volume,
inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume) were evaluated using a Fit
mate. [Results] These findings suggest that a pillow height of 5 cm makes a significant
difference in vital capacity (VC). When the three pillow heights were compared,
significant differences were seen between 0 cm and 5 cm, and between 5 cm and 10 cm, in
terms of vital capacity for the pulmonary functions among the three positions.
[Conclusion] In conclusion, changing the positions of the subjects produces changes in
pulmonary functions. The greatest change occurred in the 5 cm pillow height. Presumably,
ventilation is affected by the body structures. The results will provide objective data to
establish the most suitable positions for stroke patients when they perform respiratory
exercises.Key words: Pulmonary function, Pillow, Height 相似文献

[Purpose] We aimed to evaluate the effects of Phyllanthus amarus (PA) on
oxidative stress and damage, inflammation, and soreness in muscle after a single session
of moderate-intensity exercise. [Subjects and Methods] Twelve men randomly participated in
2, three-day phases with a one-week washout period. On the first day, participants
consumed two capsules of PA or placebo control (CTL) before 20 min of cycling. They then
consumed four capsules on the same day after exercise and six capsules/day for the next
two days. Blood samples were obtained before, immediately after exercise and 24 h and 48 h
after exercise. The pain tolerance was measured at both legs. [Results] Plasma vitamin C
levels in the PA group were higher than those in the CTL group after exercise. At 48 h
after exercise, vitamin C levels were higher in the PA group, but those in the CTL group
were lower than the pre-exercise levels. However, plasma levels of creatine kinase were
increased in both groups after exercise compared with the pre-exercise levels. The
neutrophil count was higher immediately after exercise than the pre-exercise levels in the
CTL group. [Conclusion] Acute supplementation with PA improves antioxidant status after a
single session of moderate-intensity exercise. 相似文献

[Purpose] To clarify how a novel dynamic cushion affects the leg edema evoked by
wheelchair sitting, we measured the changes in leg volume induced during wheelchair
sitting with the dynamic air cushion or a static cushion. [Subjects and Methods] Nine
healthy male subjects participated in this study. Leg edema during wheelchair sitting was
evaluated with strain gauge plethysmography (the gauge was placed around the middle
portion of the lower thigh). Following a period of rest, each subject was asked to sit on
a wheelchair containing the dynamic cushion for 15 min. Then, the protocol was repeated
with a static cushion. The angles of the knee and ankle joints were set to 90 degrees, and
no footrests were used. [Results] The change in leg volume observed during sitting on the
dynamic cushion (0.00 ± 0.03 mL/100 mL) was smaller than that observed during sitting on
the static cushion (0.02 ± 0.02 mL/100 mL). [Conclusion] These results suggested that the
dynamic cushion relieved leg edema during wheelchair sitting.Key words: Wheelchair cushion, Leg volume, Healthy human 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of muscle vibration
applied to the lower extremities on static postural balance of patients with Parkinson’s
disease (PD). [Subjects] Seven subjects with Parkinson’s disease participated in this
study. [Methods] The oscillators of vibration were attached to the muscle bellies of the
tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, biceps femoris, and rectus femoris on both sides of the
lower extremities with adhesive tape. A vibration frequency of 60 Hz was used to induce
static postural reactions. Subjects’ center of pressure (COP) sway and peak ground
reaction force (GRF) were measured with their eyes open with and without vibration. COP
sway and peak GRF (Fx, Fy, Fz) were measured using a force plate (AMTI, Newton, USA),
which provides x, y and z coordinates of body movement. [Results] The area of COP sway
with vibration was significantly smaller than that with no vibration, but the length of
COP sway showed no difference between two conditions. Peak medial-lateral maximum force
(Fy) with vibration was significantly higher than that with no vibration, but peak
anterior-posterior force (Fx) and peak vertical force (Fz) showed no differences.
[Conclusion] These results suggest that vibration applied to the lower extremities can
help PD patients control postural balance during quiet standing.Key words: Vibration, Postural balance, Parkinson’s disease 相似文献

[Purpose] Afferent input caused by electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve or a
muscle modulates corticospinal excitability. However, a long duration of stimulation is
required to induce these effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect
of short-duration high-frequency electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) on corticospinal
excitability through the measurement of motor evoked potentials (MEP) in young healthy
subjects. [Subjects] Eleven healthy right-handed subjects participated in this study.
[Methods] EMS was applied to the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscle at 100 Hz with a
pulse width of 100 μs for 120 s. The intensity of stimulation was just below the motor
threshold. Transcranial magnetic stimulation was applied over the motor cortex, and MEP
were recorded from the APB before, and immediately, 10, and 20 min after EMS. [Results] In
the APB muscle, the MEP amplitude significantly decreased after EMS, and this effect
lasted for 20 min. [Conclusion] The excitability of the corticospinal tract decreased
after short-duration high-frequency EMS, and the effect lasted for 20 min. These results
suggest that even short duration EMS can change the excitability of the corticospinal
tract.Key words: Electrical muscle stimulation, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Corticospinal excitability 相似文献

[Purpose] To explore the effects of static stretching for 20 s on key hits and subjective fatigue in an eSports-like setting. [Participants and Methods] The participants comprised of 15 healthy males who were instructed to hit a particular key on a computer keyboard using the left ring finger to achieve the maximum number of hits possible over a period of 30 s. Subjective fatigue of the forearm was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) before the experiment and after each trial. Trials 1, 2, and 3 were conducted in succession, with an inter-trial interval of 60 s to ensure a loaded state. Static stretching for 20 s preceded Trial 4. [Results] Over the first three trials, the number of key hits in the first 10 s gradually decreased, while the feeling of subjective fatigue gradually increased. After stretching, the number of key hits in the first 10 s of Trial 4 was similar to that observed in Trial 1, and there was no increase in subjective fatigue. [Conclusion] Static stretching for 20 s restored the number of key hits for 10 s after stretching to that before the load application and suppressed the increase in subjective fatigue. 相似文献

[Purpose] To investigate the effect of the five animals (wuqinxi)
exercises on the lumbosacral multifidus. [Subjects and Methods] This study enrolled two
groups of volunteers, 15 volunteers who did the five animals exercises, the experimental
group, and 15 volunteers who did aerobic exercise (walking), the control group. Both
before and after the 1 year exercise intervention, the average surface electromyography
(ASEMG) of the two groups in the process of flexion and extension was recorded and analyzed
using DASYLab10.0 software, and the flexion extension ratio (FER) was calculated.
[Results] The ASEMG in the process of flexion was lower than the ASEMG in the process of
extension both before and after the 1 year exercise intervention on both sides of all
volunteers. There was no significant difference in FER between the experimental group and
control group before the 1 year exercise intervention; however, the FER of experimental
group was lower than that of the control group after the 1 year exercise intervention.
There was no significant difference between the two sides in any individual both before
and after the 1 year exercise intervention in both groups. [Conclusion] The
“wuqinxi” exercises improved the function of the lumbosacral
multifidus, and might be an alternative method of reducing low back pain.Key words: Wuqinxi exercises, Flexion extension ratio (FER), Low back pain 相似文献

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of whole-body
vibration (WBV) in the horizontal direction on the motor function and balance of chronic
stroke survivors. [Subjects and Methods] This study was a randomized controlled trial.
Twenty-one individuals with chronic stroke from an inpatient rehabilitation center
participated in the study. The participants were allocated to either the WBV training
group or the control group. The WBV training group (n = 12) received whole-body vibration
delivered in the horizontal direction (15 min/day, 3 times/week, 6 wks) followed by
conventional rehabilitation (30 min/day, 5 times/week, 6 wks); the control group (n = 9)
received conventional rehabilitation only (30 min/day, 5 times/week, 6 wks). Motor
function was measured by using the Fugl-Meyer assessment, and balance was measured by
using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test before and after the
interventions. [Results] After the interventions, all variables improved significantly
compared with the baseline values in the WBV training group. In the control group, no
significant improvements in any variables were noted. In addition, the BBS score in the
WBV training group increased significantly compared with that in the control group.
[Conclusion] WBV training with whole-body vibration delivered in the horizontal direction
may be a potential intervention for improvement of motor function and balance in patients
who previously experienced a stroke.Key words: Stroke, Whole-body vibration, Motor function 相似文献

[Purpose] A number of different stimulation devices are used in basic and clinical
research studies, and their frequencies of use vary. However, whether or not they are
equally effective has not been investigated. The purpose of the present study was to
investigate neural activity in the brain during the illusion of motion evoked by
stimulating the tendons of the wrist extensor muscles using various vibration devices.
[Subjects] Twelve right-handed university students with no history of nervous system
disorder or orthopedic disease participated in the study. [Methods] The wrist extensor
tendon was stimulated using 3 different devices: 1) a vibration stimulation device
(SL-0105 LP; Asahi Seisakusho Co., Ltd., Saitama, Japan), frequency 80 Hz; 2) a handy
massager (YCM-20; Yamazen Corporation, Osaka, Japan), frequency 70 Hz; and 3) a handy
massager (Thrive MD-01; Thrive Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan), frequency 91.7 Hz. Brain activity
was recorded during stimulation by using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. [Results]
Increased neural activity was observed in both the premotor cortices and the parietal
region in both hemispheres in all 3 cases. The level and localization of neural activity
was comparable for all 3 stimulation devices used. [Conclusion] This suggests that
subjects experience the illusion of motion while the tendon is being stimulated using any
vibration device.Key words: Illusion of motion, Tendon vibration, fNIRS 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical
function and postural sway during local vibratory stimulation of middle-aged subjects in
an upright position. [Subjects] The subjects were 25 healthy community-dwelling
middle-aged people. [Methods] We measured postural sway using a Wii board while vibratory
stimulations of 30, 60, or 240 Hz were applied to the subjects’ lumbar multifidus or
gastrocnemius muscles. Physical function was evaluated by 5-m usual gait speed and grip
strength. [Results] Gait speed was strongly correlated to the anteroposterior body sway in
the upright position during 30 Hz gastrocnemius muscles vibration (GMV). [Conclusion]
Postural sway during 30 Hz GMV was strongly associated with gait speed and showed a
posterior displacement. These findings show that the lower leg’s response to balance
control under 30 Hz proprioceptive stimulation might be a good indicator of declining gait
function. 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of local vibration
stimuli on body balance (trace area, trace length, and velocity) in healthy adults during
double-leg standing. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-nine subjects (10 male, 29 female)
participated in this study. They were asked to keep their balance while holding four
positions: standing with their eyes open, with and without vibration stimuli, and standing
with their eyes closed, with and without vibration stimuli. The vibration stimuli, which
had a duration of 30 sec, and a frequency of 60–80 Hz, were applied to the tibialis
anterior and gastrocnemius muscle belly during double-leg standing. Balance measurement
was performed using the Balance Trainer 4 (HUR Labs Oy, Tampere, Finland). All subjects
provided informed consent prior to participation in this study. [Results] In the open-eyes
position, there were no significant differences in trace area, trace length, and velocity
of the center of pressure (COP) either with or without vibration stimuli. However, in the
closed-eyes position, the vibration stimuli significantly decreased trace area, trace
length, and velocity of the COP compared with when no vibration stimuli were applied.
[Conclusion] These results suggest that vibration stimuli applied to the lower leg improve
balance when a person’s eyes are closed during double-leg quiet standing.Key words: Vibration, Center of pressure, Quiet standing 相似文献

[Purpose] We assessed the effects of aerobic exercise and strengthening exercise on pain
pressure thresholds (PPTs) over time. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen healthy participants
were recruited and randomly divided into 3 groups: aerobic exercise, strengthening
exercise, and control. The subjects in the aerobic group walked on a treadmill for 40 min
at 6.5 km/h. The subjects in the strength group performed circuit training that included
bench press, lat pull down, biceps curl, triceps extension, and shoulder press based on
the perceived exertion for 40 min. The subjects in the control group rested without any
exercise in a quiet room for 40 min. The PPTs of 5 potential muscle trigger points before
exercise, and immediately after 10 and 40 min of exercise or rest were measured using an
electronic algometer (JTECH Medical, USA). The Friedman’s, Kruskal-Wallis, and
Mann-Whitney tests were performed using SPSS 18.0 (IBM, Korea). [Results] The PPTs of all
subjects decreased after 10 min of exercise, but the difference was not statistically
significant. The PPTs of the control group decreased after 40 min. Furthermore, the PPTs
of 3 muscles increased after 40 min of aerobic exercise and of 6 muscles after 40 min of
strengthening exercise. No significant difference in PPTs was noted among the groups.
[Conclusion] The results show that 40 min is a more appropriate exercise time, although
the efficacy of controlling pain did not differ between strengthening exercise and aerobic
exercise.Key words: Aerobic exercise, Strengthening exercise, Pain pressure thresholds 相似文献

[Purpose] This study evaluated the effects of an oral orthosis that can change body
alignment on the balance ability and gait of healthy adults. [Subjects and Methods] The
subjects of this study were 21 University students. A gait analyzer was used to analyze
the subjects’ balance ability and gait quality. Two walking speeds were used: 2 km/h, a
comfortable speed, and 4 km/h, a slightly faster walking speed. [Results] The step length,
and base of gait at 2 km/h differed significantly after the intervention. The total step
time and step length increased significantly after the intervention. Furthermore, the
total base of gait decreased significantly after the intervention. The step times of the
left lower limb at 4 km/h differed significantly after the intervention. [Conclusion] The
oral orthosis tested positively affects the balance ability and gait of healthy
adults.Key words: Orthosis, Balance, Gait 相似文献
