[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify effects of push-up plus exercise on
different support surfaces on upper extremity muscular activity. [Subjects] The subjects
were 28 students (10 males, 18 females) at B University. [Methods] The subjects performed
push-up plus exercises either on slings or on a fixed support. [Results] Push-up plus
exercises on slings showed significant increases in the muscle activity of the trapezius
(upper fiber), deltoid (anterior fiber), and serratus anterior muscles compared with
stabilization exercises on a fixed support. [Conclusion] Based on these results, it is
considered that performance of the push-up plus exercise on slings will increase scapular
muscle activity.Key words: Push-up plus exercise, Sling, Muscle activity 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of an unstable surface
on trunk and lower extremity muscle activities during various types of bridging exercises.
[Subjects] Thirty healthy female adults voluntarily participated in this study. [Methods]
All subjects were asked to perform 3 different bridging exercises (bridging exercise,
single leg lift bridging exercise, single leg cross bridging exercise) with and without an
unstable surface. The trunk and lower extremity muscle activities were measured by using
surface electromyography during bridging exercise. [Results] During the bridging exercise
(BE), single leg lift bridging exercise (LBE), and single leg cross bridging exercise
(CBE), the muscle activities of the external oblique muscle (EO), erector spinae (ES), and
biceps femoris (BF) were significantly higher on an unstable surface than on a stable
surface. The muscle activities of the EO on both sides, contralateral BF, and ipsilateral
ES were significantly higher during LBE than during BE and CBE. [Conclusion] Use of an
unstable surface increases muscle activity of the trunk and lower extremities, and single
leg lift bridging exercise increases the muscle activity of the EO on both sides,
ipsilateral ES, and contralateral BF.Key words: Bridging exercise, Electromyography, Unstable surface 相似文献

[Purpose] Although the Push-Up Plus is a useful exercise method for shoulder
stabilization, few studies have examined its effects at different angles of shoulder
rotation. Therefore, the present study investigated the most effective exercise method for
shoulder stabilization by analyzing muscle activities of the rotator cuff muscles at
different angles of shoulder rotation. [Subjects] Fifteen healthy university students in
their 20s were the subjects of this study. [Methods] Changes in muscle EMG related to
shoulder stabilization were analyzed by performing the Push-Up Plus in shoulder positions
of neutral, internal and external rotation. [Results] The highest muscle activity was
found in external rotation, and in internal rotation the pectoralis major and levator
scapula showed significantly lower activities than the other positions. [Conclusion]
Selectively changing the rotation angle of the shoulder for different purposes of the
shoulder exercise would be an effective exercise method.Key words: Shoulder, Stabilization, Rotation 相似文献

[Purpose] This study examined the relationship between core stability and exercise
intensity during a pulley-based shoulder exercise (PBSE) on an unstable support surface.
[Subjects] Twenty healthy college students enrolled in this study. [Methods] Surface EMG
was carried out in twenty healthy adult men. The electromyographic activities of the
rectus abdominis (RA), erector spinae (ES), exercises with 14 kg or 26 kg of resistance
and external oblique (EO) muscles during pulley-based shoulder on an unstable support
surface (USS) were compared. [Results] The EMG signals of the RA, ES, and EO did not
increase with increasing exercise resistance. [Conclusion] Increasing the exercise
intensity to increase the core stability during PBSE on a USS may be ineffective.Key words: Electromyography, Core stability, Ankle strategy 相似文献

[Purpose] The present study aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality exercise
using the Nintendo Wii Fit on the muscle activities of the trunk and lower extremities of
normal adults. [Subjects] The subjects of the study were 24 normal adults who were divided
into a virtual reality exercise group (VREG, n=12) and a stable surface exercise group
(SEG, n=12). [Methods] The exercises of the VREG using the Nintendo Wii Fit and the SEG
using a stable surface were conducted three times a week for six weeks. Electromyography
was used to measure the muscle activities of the tibialis anterior (TA), medial
gastrocnemius (MG), erector spinae (ES), and rectus abdominal (RA) muscles. [Results] VREG
showed significant within group differences in TA and MG muscle activities, while the SEG
showed a significant difference in the muscle activity of the MG. [Conclusion] Virtual
reality exercise using the Nintendo Wii Fit was an effective intervention for the muscle
activities of the TA and MG of normal adults.Key words: Virtual reality exercise, Stable surface exercise, Muscle activity 相似文献

[Purpose] We investigated the effects of shoulder flexion loaded by an elastic tubing
band during squat exercises, by assessing electromyographic activities of the gluteus
maximus and gluteus medius. [Subjects] In total, 17 healthy males were recruited.
[Methods] Participants performed squat exercises with and without shoulder flexion loaded
by a tubing band. Gluteal muscle activities during the downward and upward phases of the
squat exercises were recorded using a surface electromyography (EMG) system. The mean
electromyographic activities of the gluteal muscles during squat exercises with and
without loaded shoulder flexion were compared using the paired t-test. [Results]
Electromyographic activities of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius were greater in
both the upward and downward phases of the squat with loaded shoulder flexion.
[Conclusions] The combination of squat and loaded shoulder flexion can be an effective
exercise for increasing gluteal muscle activity.Key words: Squat exercise, Gluteus maximus, Gluteus medius 相似文献

[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of the spacing of backpack shoulder straps
on cervical muscle activity, acromion and scapular position, and upper trapezius (UT)
pain. [Subjects] Fourteen males aged 20–32 years, were recruited. [Methods] We measured
the MPS (midcervical paraspinal) activity, acromial angle, scapular distance, and UT pain
after gait carrying a backpack with different shoulder strap spacings. [Results] The MPS,
scapular inferior distance, and UT pressure pain threshold was significantly decreased and
the acromion angle was significantly increased when carrying a backpack with wide shoulder
straps compared to narrow shoulder straps. [Conclusion] A backpack with wide shoulder
straps may cause scapular depression syndrome and chronic UT pain.Key words: Backpack, Scapular position, Shoulder straps 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of trunk stabilization
exercise on the muscle EMG activations related to core stability. [Subjects and Methods]
Fifteen elderly people in a geriatric hospital performed trunk stabilization exercises
with a Swiss ball for 20 minutes five times per week for 8 weeks. Trunk muscle activations
were measured using electromyography before and after the intervention. [Results] After
the intervention, the muscle activations of the rectus abdominis, erector spinae, lateral
low-back (quadratus lumborum and external oblique), and gluteus medius muscles increased
significantly. [Conclusion] The trunk stabilization exercise with a Swiss ball
significantly increased the muscle activities of the elderly.Key words: Elderly, Electromyography, Core stability 相似文献

[Purpose] This study measured %isolation and investigated whether it shows a difference
between the presence and absence of wrist joint restriction, as well as changes in muscle
activity patterns. [Methods] Twenty subjects performed upper extremity functional movement
in the Manual Function Test (MFT) with and without wrist restriction, and the muscle
activities of the trapezius, middle deltoid, biceps brachii, triceps brachii, extensor
carpi radialis, and flexor carpi radialis were recorded. When there were differences in
muscle activation, %isolation was implemented and the changes in the muscle activity
patterns were noted. [Results] In the grasping and pinching tasks, there was a significant
increase in %isolation of the upper trapezius and a significant decrease in %isolation of
the extensor carpi radialis. Carrying a cube task, %isolation of the upper trapezius and
middle deltoid significantly increased, whereas %isolation of the triceps brachii and
extensor carpi radialis significantly decreased. In the pegboard task, the %isolation
values of the extensor carpi radialis and flexor carpi radialis significantly decreased.
[Conclusion] The data of this study should be useful for therapists, who can employ the
information as material for the education and treatment of patients with wrist joint
restriction. Therapists may thus look for ways to improve the quality of mobility by
predicting the complement mobility depending on the activity performed and then determine
whether to facilitate or restrict mobility.Key words: Functional upper extremity activity, %isolation, Wrist joint restriction 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in muscle activation
patterns of the biceps brachii (BB) and flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscles, while
measuring the resultant force (RF) at different shoulder flexion angles. [Subjects]
Thirteen healthy males (age 24.85±3.4 years, weight; 77.8±7.9 kg; height, 1.7±0.05 m) were
enrolled in this study. [Methods] The resultant force was measured by a force transducer .
The elbow angle remained constant and the flexion shoulder angle was changed (30°, 45°,
60°, 75° and 90°). [Results] The results of the surface EMG show the largest muscle
activities occurred at a shoulder flexion of 75° for BB and 90° for FCR. The largest
resultant force was measured at a shoulder flexion angle of 75°. We conclude, that when
performing the biceps curl exercise using an arm curl machine, the shoulder should be
flexed at 75° to maximize the focus of the exercise for the BB. [Conclusion] These results
are useful from the perspective of design as they highlight the differences in the muscle
activation of BB and FCR with postural change. Ultimately this knowledge can be used in
the design of rehabilitation training for the shoulder as they show that posture can
affect muscle activation. 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of foot placement on the
latissmus dorsi and low back muscles activities during pull-down exercise. [Subjects] For
this study, we recruited 10 male volunteers. [Methods] The subjects performed pull-down
exercises with 4 foot placement conditions. The activities of the latissmus dorsi and L4
paraspinal muscles were measured. [Results] The activities of the latissmus dorsi muscles
significantly increased in the order of conditions 1 and 2 < condition 4 < condition
3. The activities of the L4 paraspinal muscles were significantly different, with the
activities of conditions 1 and 2 being greater than those of conditions 3 and 4.
[Conclusion] We suggest that the selection of foot placement is an important factor for
the effective strengthening of the latissmus dorsi.Key words: Foot placement, Latissmus dorsi, Pull-down exercise 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of thoracic
stretching, a thoracic extension exercise and exercises for cervical and scapular posture
on thoracic kyphosis angle and upper thoracic pain. [Subject] A 36-year-old male, who
complained of upper thoracic pain at the T1–4 level with forward head and round shoulders,
was the subject. [Methods] He performed thoracic stretching (session 1), a thoracic
extension exercise (session 2), and muscle exercises for cervical and scapular posture
(session 3). [Results] The upper thoracic pressure pain threshold increased after session
1, session 2, and session 3. The thoracic kyphosis angle decreased after session 1,
session 2, and session 3. [Conclusion] We suggest that intervention for thoracic pain or
kyphotic thoracic correction should use not only an approach for extending the thoracic
muscles, but also an approach treating muscles in the cervical and scapular region.Key words: Kyphosis, Posture correction, Thoracic pain 相似文献

[Purpose] To evaluate the effects of early passive range of motion exercise on the
function of upper extremities and activities of daily living in patients with acute
stroke. [Methods] A total of 37 patients with acute stroke in intensive care units, were
assigned to the experimental group (n=19) and control group (n=18). The experimental group
performed passive range of motion exercise twice a day, for 4 weeks, immediately after a
pretest; the patients in the control group performed the range of motion exercise in the
same manner for 2 weeks beginning 2 weeks after the pretest. The functions of upper
extremities (edema, range of motion), manual function, and activities of daily living of
both groups were measured before and at four weeks after the intervention. [Results] The
experimental group showed a significant decrease in the edema of upper extremities
compared with the control group. It also showed a significant increase in the range of
motion, function of upper extremities, and the activities of daily living compared to the
control group. [Conclusion] Passive range of motion exercise in the early stage can
improve the function of upper extremities and activities of daily living in patients with
acute stroke.Key words: Stroke, Range of motion, Upper extremity 相似文献

[Purpose] We evaluated the effect of self-directed exercise using a task board on
function and pain in the upper extremities of stroke patients [Subjects and Methods] We
used the one group pre-post test design. Seven stroke patients who were selected based on
the inclusion criteria participated in the program once a week for 10 weeks. The
self-directed exercise comprised 5 stages that were divided according to the level of
difficulty. The exercise was performed for 60 minutes using a special task board that we
designed. The FMA (Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment), VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), and speed of
stacking were assessed to evaluate the amount of use of the affected arm at before and
after intervention. [Results] The scores of the VAS and FMA, but not that of the speed of
stacking cups, were improved. There was no significant correlation between the changes in
VAS, FMA, and the speed of stacking cups. [Conclusion] The findings suggest that
self-directed exercise with the task board could improve the levels of function and pain
in the upper extremities. We suggest that self-directed exercise can be utilized as a
clinical rehabilitation program and improve therapeutic effects.Key words: Self-directed exercise, VAS, FMA 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in muscle activation
of the trunk and lower extremities and plantar foot pressure due to backpack loads of 0,
10, 15, and 20% of body weight during level walking in individuals with flatfoot.
[Methods] Fourteen young flatfoot subjects and 12 normal foot subjects participated in
this study. In each session, the subjects were assigned to carry a backpack load, and
there were four level walking modes: (1) unloaded walking (0%), (2) 10% body weight (BW)
load, (3) 15% BW load, and (4) 20% BW load. Trunk and lower extremity muscle activities
were recorded by surface EMG, and contact area and plantar foot pressure were determined
using a RS scan system. [Results] The erector spinae, vastus medialis, tibialis anterior
and gastrocnemius muscle activities, but not the rectus femoris and rectus abdominis
muscle activities of flatfoot subjects significantly and progressively increased as load
increased in flatfoot subjects. Contact area and pressure of the lateral and medial heel
zones were significantly increased too. [Conclusion] Based on this data, the weight of a
backpack could influence muscle activation and plantar foot pressure in flatfoot.Key words: Flatfoot, Backpack, Plantar pressure 相似文献

[Purpose] This study examined the effects of a relaxation chair and resting with simple
range of motion exercises during computer work and low back muscle strengthening exercises
after computer work on pain and the flexion-relaxation (FR) ratio of one computer worker
with LBP. [Subjects] The subject of this study was a 37 year-old male who complained of
severe LBP pain at the L4 level. [Methods] In the study, the subject worked on a computer
for 5 h each day for 3 days and followed a different program each day. [Results] In
Session 1, the FR ratios before and after work were 19% and 38% (+19%), respectively. The
respective VAS scores before and after work were 5 and 8 (+3). In Session 2, the FR ratios
before and after work were 18% and 21% (+3%), respectively. The respective VAS scores were
5 and 6 (+1). In session 3, the FR ratios before and work were 22% and 29% (+7%),
respectively, and the VAS scores were 5 and 6 (+1). [Conclusion] This study suggests that
it is more effective to perform regular, passive exercises to prevent LBP in computer
users.Key words: Flexion-relaxation Ratio, LBP, Resting 相似文献
