Muscle Contributions to L4-5 Joint Rotational Stiffness following Sudden Trunk Flexion and Extension Perturbations
The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of individual muscles (MJRSm) to total joint rotational stiffness (MJRST) about the lumbar spine's L4-5 joint prior to, and following, sudden dynamic flexion or extension perturbations to the trunk. We collected kinematic and surface electromyography (sEMG) data while subjects maintained a kneeling posture on a parallel robotic platf...
متن کاملProlonged Intermittent Trunk Flexion Increases Trunk Muscles Reflex Gains and Trunk Stiffness
The goal of the present study was to determine the effects of prolonged, intermittent flexion on trunk neuromuscular control. Furthermore, the potential beneficial effects of passive upper body support during flexion were investigated. Twenty one healthy young volunteers participated during two separate visits in which they performed 1 hour of intermittent 60 seconds flexion and 30 seconds rest...
متن کاملInfluence of Lumbar Muscle Fatigue on Trunk Adaptations during Sudden External Perturbations
Introduction: When the spine is subjected to perturbations, neuromuscular responses such as reflex muscle contractions contribute to the overall balance control and spinal stabilization mechanisms. These responses are influenced by muscle fatigue, which has been shown to trigger changes in muscle recruitment patterns. Neuromuscular adaptations, e.g., attenuation of reflex activation and/or post...
متن کاملMechanical Simulation of the Extension and Flexion of the Elbow Joint in Rehabilitation
Objective: The goal of the present study was to improve the extension and flexion of the elbow joint for rehabilitation purposes, in terms of energy dissipation and of injuries caused by stress imposed on connective tissue by exercise equipments during force transfer , by investigation of viscoelastic property variations during change in speed of motion. Materials & Methods: A sample of five...
متن کاملSpasm and flexion-relaxation phenomenon response to large lifting load during the performance of a trunk flexion-extension exercise
BACKGROUND The flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP) has been widely investigated. Nevertheless, no study has been reported on the FRP as well as spasm response to large lifting load. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of large lifting load on the FRP response and spasm during execution of a flexion-extension exercise. METHODS Twenty-two healthy male university students without lo...
