Effects of Open and Closed Kinetic Chains of Sling Exercise Therapy on the Muscle Activity of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis.
Purpose: The muscle strength of the quadriceps muscle is critical in patellofemoral pain syndrome. The quadriceps muscle supplies the power for dynamic patellar movement, and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) [...]
Muscular activities during sling- and ground-based push-up exercise.
Background: This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of muscle activities during push-up exercises performed under sling condition by comparison with those performed under ground condition. We hypothesized that sling-based [...]
Shoulder muscle activation levels during four closed kinetic chain exercises with and without Redcord slings.
During resistance training protocols, people are often encouraged to target the scapular stabilizing musculature (middle and lower trapezius and serratus anterior) while minimizing shoulder prime mover activation (upper trapezius and [...]
Comparison of Upper Trapezius, Anterior Deltoid, and Serratus Anterior Muscle Activity during Pushup plus Exercise on Slings and a Stable Surface.
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 [...]
Sling Exercise for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
