[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] The purpose of this study was to examine the ratio between the upper trapezius
and the serratus anterior muscles during diverse shoulder abduction exercises applied with
vibrations in order to determine the appropriate exercise methods for recovery of scapular
muscle balance. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four subjects voluntarily
participated in this study. The subjects performed shoulder abduction at various shoulder
joint abduction angles (90°, 120°, 150°, 180°) with oscillation movements. [Results] At
120°, all the subjects showed significant increases in the muscle activity of the serratus
anterior muscle in comparison with the upper trapezius muscle. However, no significant
difference was found at angles other than 120°. [Conclusion] To selectively strengthen the
serratus anterior, applying vibration stimuli at the 120° shoulder abduction position is
considered to be appropriate.Key words: Serratus anterior, Upper trapezius, Vibration 相似文献

[Purpose] We developed a multi-air-cushion biofeedback device (MABD) to assist the
dynamic hug exercise, and investigated the effects of MABD on the shoulder muscles during
the dynamic hug exercise. [Subjects] Twelve males aged 22–32 years were recruited.
[Methods] We measured the right side serratus anterior, lower trapezius, and upper
trapezius muscle activities during the dynamic hug exercise with and without MABD.
[Results] The serratus anterior and lower trapezius muscles activities significantly
increased during the dynamic hug exercise with MABD compared to without it. The upper
trapezius muscle significantly decreased during the dynamic hug exercise with MABD
compared to without it. [Conclusion] The results suggest that the dynamic hug exercise
with MABD is an effective scapular stability exercise.Key words: Biofeedback, Dynamic hug exercise, Scapular stability 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 purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activation related to
postural stability depending on the pelvic position and frequency of whole body vibration
(WBV) during quiet standing, and to identify the most effective training conditions that
elicit the highest neuromuscular responses. [Subjects and Methods] Eighteen healthy
subjects voluntarily participated in this single-group, repeated-measures study in which
surface electromyography (EMG) data for the upper trapezius, rectus abdominis, external
oblique abdominis, erector spinae, gluteus maximus, rectus femoris, semitendinosus, and
medial gastrocnemius were collected at three frequencies (0 Hz, 10 Hz, and 20 Hz) of WBV
and three pelvic positions (neutral, anterior tilt, posterior tilt) for each subject
during quiet standing. [Results] The EMG activities of all the recorded muscles showed
significant differences between the three frequencies of WBV and three pelvic positions
during quiet standing. [Conclusion] The study findings suggest that a higher WBV frequency
(20 Hz) should be used to strengthen most muscles, and that using the posterior pelvic
tilt during WBV is much more effective at strengthening and training muscles related to
core stability.Key words: Whole body vibration, Frequency, Pelvic tilt 相似文献

[Purpose] This study compared the effects of sling exercises with and without vibration
on the muscular activity of the internal oblique (IO), rectus abdominis (RA), multifidus
(MF), and erector spinae (ES) muscles of healthy adults. [Methods] Eleven healthy
university students (11 men) with a mean age of 22.8 years were enrolled in this study.
Subjects performed supine and prone bridge exercises with the knees flexed using a sling
suspension system with and without vibration. The amplitudes of the EMG activities of
selected trunk muscles (internal oblique, rectus abdominis, erector spinae, multifidus)
were recorded. Two types of exercise conditions were executed in a random sequence for 5
seconds each. The signals detected from the middle 3 seconds (after discarding the signals
of the first and the last one seconds) were used in the analysis. A 3-minute break was
given after each exercise to minimize muscle fatigue. [Results] During the supine bridge
exercise with vibration, the activities of the IO, RA, MF, and ES muscles were
significantly higher than those of the supine bridge exercise without vibration.
Additionally, during the prone bridge exercise with vibration, the activities of the IO,
RA, MF, and ES were significantly higher than those of the prone bridge exercise without
vibration. [Conclusion] Sling exercises with vibration improved the trunk muscle
activities of healthy adults compared to the sling exercises without vibration. The
information presented here is important for clinicians who use lumbar stabilization
exercises as an evaluation tool or a rehabilitation exercise.Key words: Sling exercise, Vibration, Trunk muscle 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare shoulder stabilization muscle
activities according to postural changes during flexi-bar exercise. [Subjects] The
subjects included 18 students (10 males, 8 females) at B University. [Methods] The
subjects performed the following flexi-bar exercises: 1) medio-lateral oscillation with
the 90° shoulder abduction, with the hand in the neutral position; 2) dorso-ventral
oscillation with 90° shoulder flexion, with the hand in the neutral position; 3)
superior-inferior oscillation with 90° shoulder flexion, with the 80° hand pronation.
[Results] The activity of the serratus anterior showed significant differences between
each position; however, activities of the upper trapezius and middle trapezius were not
significantly different. [Conclusion] The results of this study indicate that posture
control is important for selective strengthening of the serratus anterior muscle during
flexi-bar exercises.Key words: Flexi-bar exercise, Shoulder stabilization, Muscle activity 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the shoulder flexion
angle on the muscle activities of the upper extremities when performing the push-up plus
exercise (PUPE) on an unstable surface with the forearm in the external rotation position.
[Subjects] The subjects were conducted on 15 normal male adults. [Methods] A sling device
was used for the unstable surface, and PUPE was performed with the forearm in the external
rotation position. The shoulder flexion angles measured in the sagittal plane were 110°,
90°, and 70°. Electromyography was used for a comparitive analysis of the muscle
activities of the serratus anterior (SA), the pectoralis major (PM), and the upper
trapezius (UT). [Results] In the intra-group comparison, the muscle activity of SA was
statistically the highest when the shoulder-flexion angle was 110°. [Conclusion]
performing PUPE on an unstable surface, the muscle activity of the SA is activated the
most when the shoulder flexion angle is 110° and the forearm is in the external rotation
position. 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] This study investigated the effect of different gait speeds on the muscle
activities of the latissimus dorsi and gluteus maximus muscles in relation to the
posterior oblique sling system. [Subjects] We recruited 14 young adult males. [Methods] We
measured the left latissimus dorsi muscle activity and right gluteus maximus muscle
activity of all subjects while they walked on a treadmill at speeds of 1.5 km/h, 3.5 km/h
and 5.5 km/h. [Results] There was a significant increase in latissimus dorsi muscle
activity with a treadmill speed of 5.5 km/h compared with 1.5 km/h and 3.5 km/h. The
gluteus maximus muscle activity significantly increased in the order of 1.5 km/h <
3.5 km/h < 5.5 km/h. [Conclusion] The present results indicate that arm swing connected
to increasing gait speed influences the muscle activity of the lower limbs through the
posterior oblique sling system.Key words: Electromyography, Gait speed, Posterior oblique sling system 相似文献

BackgroundSynergism between shoulder and trunk muscles seems to be effective to increase periscapular muscle activation in asymptomatic subjects. The influence of conscious contraction of the abdominal muscles has not yet been studied in non-athlete subjects with pain. The study aimed to investigate the effect of the instruction for conscious activation of the abdominal muscles on the activity of the scapulothoracic muscles during shoulder exercises in subjects with subacromial pain syndrome.MethodThirty subjects with unilateral pain (mean age 52 ± 11 years) participated in this study. Three isometric and five dynamic exercises for the scapulothoracic muscles were assessed. The group without instruction just repeated the exercises, while the instruction group was evaluated before and after conscious abdominal training. The linear mixed model analysis was used to compare the muscle activation between groups.FindingsDifferences between groups after the conscious abdominal contraction for activation of middle and lower trapezius on the symptomatic side in the “Full can”(p = 0.03; effect size:0.92 middle trapezius); (p = 0.02; effect size:0.96 lower trapezius) and “Knee Push” (p = 0.01; effect size:0.75 lower trapezius). For asymptomatic side, the exercises “External Rotation Kneeling” (p = 0.04; effect size: 0.81 lower trapezius); (p = 0.00; effect size: 2.09 serratus anterior), “Knee Push” (p = 0.04; effect size:1.24 serratus anterior) and “Wall Slide” (p = 0.01; effect size: 1.03 serratus anterior).InterpretationConscious contraction of the abdominal muscle immediately alter the activation of the serratus anterior muscle during closed kinetic chain exercises on the asymptomatic side and increased activation of trapezius on the symptomatic side during shoulder open kinetic chain exercise. 相似文献

[Purpose] This study evaluated the effective selective activation method of the vastus
medialis oblique for knee joint stabilization in patients with patellofemoral pain
syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen healthy college students (9 males, 6 females);
mean age, height, and weight: 22.2 years, 167.8 cm, and 61.4 kg, respectively)
participated. The knee angle was held at 60°. Muscle activities were measured once each
during an ordinary squat and a squat accompanied by hip joint adduction. The muscle
activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis were measured by
electromyography for five seconds while maintaining 60° knee flexion. Electromyography
signals were obtained at a sampling rate of 1,000 Hz and band pass filtering at 20–50 Hz.
The obtained raw root mean square was divided by the maximal voluntary isometric
contraction and expressed as a percentage. The selective activity of the vastus medialis
oblique was assessed according to the muscle activity ratio of the vastus medialis oblique
to the vastus lateralis. [Results] The activity ratio of the vastus medialis oblique was
higher during a squat with hip joint adduction than without. [Conclusion] A squat
accompanied by hip joint adduction is effective for the selective activation of the vastus
medialis oblique.Key words: Patellofemoral pain syndrome, Vastus medialis oblique, Squat 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of cervical
stabilization exercises on the electromyographic activity of the shoulder stabilizers in
normal adults. [Subjects] In the present study, 20 normal adults were divided into an
experimental group (EG, n=10) that performed cervical stabilization exercises and shoulder
stabilization exercises and a control group (CG, n=10) that performed shoulder
stabilization exercises. [Methods] The EG and CG performed their exercises three times per
week for four weeks. The cervical stabilization exercises consisted of Craniocervical
flexion exercises (CCFEs) that were performed using pressure biofeedback units (PBUs). The
shoulder stabilization exercises consisted of scapula-setting exercises, wall stretching,
and external rotation exercises. To examine the electromyographic activity of the upper
trapezius (UT) muscle, lower trapezius (LT) muscle, and serratus anterior (SA) muscle, the
electromyograms for these muscles were compared and analyzed. [Results] In comparisons
within the groups, the EG showed statistically significant differences in the UT, the LT
and the SA. The CG did not show any significant differences. [Conclusion] Cervical
stabilization exercises and shoulder stabilization exercises are considered to be an
effective intervention for the electromyographic activity of the shoulder stabilizers, the
UT, LT, and SA.Key words: Cervical stabilization, Stabilizer, Electromyographic activity 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] Scapular stabilizer strengthening exercise is crucial for shoulder
rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to compare two types of push-up plus
exercises, on a stable and unstable bases of support, using surface electromyography
(EMG), to suggest an effective shoulder rehabilitation program. [Subjects and Methods] Ten
healthy men volunteered for this study. All volunteers performed two sets of push-up plus
exercise (standard push up and knee push up) on stable and unstable bases of support. The
muscle activities of five important scapular stabilizer muscles (upper trapezius, middle
trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior, latissimus dorsi) were recorded during the
exercise. [Results] The upper trapezius showed greater mean electric activation amplitude
in the scapular retraction posture than in the scapular protraction posture, and the
serratus anterior showed greater mean electric activation amplitude in the scapular
protraction posture than in the scapular retraction posture. The root-mean-square
normalized EMG values of the muscles were greater during the exercise performed on the
unstable support than those on the stable support. [Conclusion] The standard push-up plus
exercise on an unstable base of support helps to increase muscle activity, especially
those of the upper/middle trapezius and serratus anterior.Key words: Scapular stabilizer, Push-up plus, Surface EMG 相似文献

[Purpose] Sclerostin is mechanosensitive protein that is produced exclusively by
osteocytes. It was reported that the plasma sclerostin level increases in the 10th minute
after the application of Whole-Body Vibration. The aim of this study was to determine
whether single extremity-vibration induces any change in the serum sclerostin level.
[Subjects and Methods] Eight healthy young-adult volunteers were recruited for this pilot
study. The participants sat on a chair with their left hip and knee joints flexed at 90
degrees. The lower leg was exposed to vibration: 40 Hz, 4 mm, 60 s. Blood samples were
collected before and after the vibration. The serum sclerostin levels were blindly
measured in dual-controlled blood samples. [Results] The serum sclerostin level before
vibration was 328.2±589.9 pg/ml, and it showed no significant change after vibration.
[Conclusion] Unlike Whole-Body Vibration, Single-Extremity Vibration did not affect the
serum sclerostin level significantly. This finding can be explained by the limited bone
volume exposed to vibration. Bone volume exposed to vibration is less during
Single-Extremity Vibration than during Whole-Body Vibration.Key words: Sclerostin, Whole-Body Vibration, Bone 相似文献

[Purpose] This study investigated upper-extremity muscle activities in natural, ideal,
and corrected head positions. [Subjects and Methods] Forty subjects with a forward head
posture and rounded shoulder were recruited and randomly assigned to the natural head
position group (n = 13), ideal head position group (n =
14), or corrected head position group (n = 13). Muscle activities were
measured using a four-channel surface electromyography system at the
sternocleidomastoideus, upper and lower trapezius, and serratus anterior muscles on the
right side during an overhead reaching task. [Results] The muscle activities of the upper
trapezius and serratus anterior differed significantly among head positions. Post hoc
tests revealed significant differences between natural and ideal head positions, and
natural and ideal head positions for both the upper trapezius and serratus anterior.
[Conclusion] Recovery of normal upper trapezius and serratus anterior muscle functions
plays an important role in correcting forward head posture and rounded shoulders.Key words: Forward head posture, Muscle activity, Round shoulder 相似文献

[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 purpose of this study was to compare the intramuscular balance ratios of
the upper trapezius muscle (UT) and the lower trapezius muscle (LT), and the intermuscular
balance ratios of the UT and the serratus anterior muscle (SA) among prone extension
(ProExt), prone horizontal abduction with external rotation (ProHAbd), forward flexion in
the side-lying position (SideFlex), side-lying external rotation (SideEr), shoulder
flexion with glenohumeral horizontal abduction load (FlexBand), and shoulder flexion with
glenohumeral horizontal adduction load (FlexBall) in the standing posture. [Methods] The
electromyographic (EMG) activities of the UT, LT and SA were measured during the tasks.
The percentage of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (%MVIC) was calculated for each
muscle, and the UT/LT ratios and the UT/SA ratios were compared among the tasks. [Results]
The UT/LT ratio with the FlexBand was not significantly different from those of the four
exercises in the side-lying and prone postures. The UT/SA ratio with the FlexBall
demonstrated appropriate balanced activity. [Conclusion] In an anti-gravity posture, we
recommend the FlexBand and the FlexBall for inducing balanced UT/LT and UT/SA ratios,
respectively.Key words: Scapular muscle exercise, Balanced scapular muscle activity, Electromyography 相似文献

[Purpose] To compare the changes in the muscle cross-sectional area (MCSA) along the long axis of the lower leg muscles at rest and during ankle plantar flexors isometric contraction and to obtain basic information regarding the movement of lower leg muscles during ankle plantar flexors contraction. [Participants and Methods] Sixteen healthy young female participants (20.9 ± 1.2 years) were asked to sit with their ankles in a neutral ankle position. Images were obtained at rest and during isometric contraction of the ankle plantar flexors using gravity magnetic resonance imaging. The MCSAs of the triceps surae and tibialis anterior were measured. [Results] The middle region of the soleus muscle had a lower MCSA on contraction than at rest. In addition, the medial head of the gastrocnemius had a lower MCSA on contraction than at rest in the distal quarter. Moreover, the tibialis anterior had a lower MCSA at rest than on contraction in the middle region. [Conclusion] The area to be used as an indicator and the movement to be induced differ depending on the muscle during isometric contraction of the triceps surae.Key words: Muscular dynamics, MRI, Lower leg muscle 相似文献
