Electromyographic Response of Trunk Muscles during Load Carriage Walking in Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous studies investigated the effects of load carriage on electromyographic (EMG) response of three selected trunk muscles of children aged between nine and ten during treadmill walking. (Hong and Cheung, 2002). In this study, similar experimental setup was used to investigate the muscle activities during prolonged load carrying walking on younger children aged six. One more muscle, the rectus abdominis, was also investigated.

The Effect of Thera-Band Resistance Training on the Electromyography Frequency Spectrum of Trunk and Lower Limb Muscles in Low Back Pain Patients with Pronated Feet During Walking: A Clinical Trial
Background and Objectives: Lower back pain is a common orthopedic illness that has a reasonable relationship to pronated foot. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of resistance training with Thera-Band on the electromyography frequency domain of trunk and lower limb muscles of patients with both low back pain and pronated feet during walking. Materials and Methods: This clinical...
متن کاملTrunk and pelvic coordination at various walking speeds during an anterior load carriage task in subjects with and without chronic low back pain
[Purpose] This study compared the coordination patterns of the trunk and pelvis in the transverse plane between healthy subjects and patients with chronic low back pain during an anterior load carriage task at various walking speeds. [Subjects] Ten healthy subjects and 10 patients with chronic low back pain performed an anterior carriage task with a load of 10% body weight at walking speeds of ...
متن کاملA biomechanical analysis of anterior load carriage.
Front load carriage is a common occupational task in some industries (e.g. agriculture, construction), but, as compared to lifting tasks, relatively little research has been conducted on the biomechanical loading during these activities. The focus of this study was to explore the low back biomechanics during these activities and, specifically, to examine the effects of load height and walking s...

Objective Stair ascent and descent is an essential movement task in daily life in which individuals are subjected to repetitive impact forces. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intensity of Electromyographic (EMG) activity in lower extremity muscles of healthy young men during stair ascent and descent task wearing different type of shoes and carrying loads. Methods Nine men with a ...
متن کاملCoordination variability during load carriage walking: can it contribute to low back pain?
Load carriage walking is frequently associated with low back pain. Mechanical stress is a potential cause of such pain, and a lack of coordination variability may produce mechanical stress. We tested the hypothesis that coordination variability would decrease during load carriage walking. We examined the trunk-thigh coordination variability in the sagittal and frontal planes and the thorax-pelv...
