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.
Background: Trials on sling exercise (SE), commonly performed to manage chronic low back pain (LBP), yield conflicting results. This study aimed to review the effects of SE on chronic LBP. [...]
Effects of Sling Exercise Therapy on Trunk Muscle Activation and Balance in Chronic Hemiplegic Patients.
Purpose: Weakening of trunk muscles in stroke patients hinders functional ability, safety and balance. To confirm whether strengthening trunk muscles could facilitate rehabilitation of stroke patients, we investigated the effectiveness [...]
Effects of integrating hip movements into bridge exercises on electromyographic activities of selected trunk muscles in healthy individuals
This study aimed to identify the electromyographic (EMG) effects in selected trunk muscles after incorporating hip movement into bridging exercise. Twenty-six healthy adults (13 men and 13 women) volunteered for [...]
The Effect of Trunk Stabilization Exercises Using a Sling on the Balance of Patients with Hemiplegia.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of trunk stabilization exercise using a sling on the balance ability of patients with hemiplegia. Subjects: Forty patients with [...]
Effects of Push-ups Plus Sling Exercise on Muscle Activation and Cross-sectional Area of the Multifidus Muscle in Patients with Low Back Pain.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of lumbar stability exercises on chronic low back pain by using sling exercise and push-ups. Subjects: Thirty adult subjects [...]
The Effects of Vibration Stimuli Applied to the Shoulder Joint on the Activity of the Muscles Around the Shoulder Joint.
Purpose: The present study compared the muscle activity of the upper trapezius with those of the serratus anterior and the lower trapezius when slings, unstable surfaces, were laterally vibrated, to [...]
Effects of Bridging Exercise on Different Support Surfaces on the Transverse Abdominis.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of bridging exercise on different support surfaces on the thickness of the musculus transversus abdominis and lower extremity muscle [...]
The Effect of the Neurac Sling Exercise on Postural Balance Adjustment and Muscular Response Patterns in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of the Neurac sling exercise on postural balance adjustment and muscular response patterns in chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients. Subjects and [...]
The Effects of Sling Exercise Using Vibration on Trunk Muscle Activities of Healthy Adults.
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 [...]
The Effects of Changes in Hand Position on the Electromyographic Activities of the Shoulder Stabilizer Muscles during Push-up Plus Exercises on Unstable Surfaces.
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of changes in hand position on the electromyographic activities of the shoulder stabilizer muscles during push-up plus exercises [...]
Core Strength Training Using a Combination of Home Exercises and a Dynamic Sling System for the Management of Low Back Pain in Pre-professional Ballet Dancers.
Estimates of low back pain prevalence in USA ballet dancers range from 8% to 23%. Lumbar stabilization and extensor muscle training has been shown to act as a hypoalgesic for [...]
The Effects of Sling Bridging Exercise to Pain Scale and Trunk Muscle Activity in Low Back Pain Patients.
Most patients with chronic low back pain experience functional disability of trunk muscle, and limitations in physical activity. While there are many types of exercise programs available, in recent years [...]
Comparison of trunk muscle activity during bridging exercises using a sling in patients with low back pain.
The aims of this study were to compare the activation of global and local muscles of the trunk during bridging with sling exercise (BSE), bridging with ball exercise (BBE), and [...]
Effect of core stability exercises on feed-forward activation of deep abdominal muscles in chronic low back pain.
Study Design. A randomized controlled trial. Objective. To investigate feed-forward activation or timing of abdominal muscle activation in response to rapid shoulder flexion after 8 weeks with core stability exercises, [...]
The Effect of Core Stabilization Exercises Using a Sling on Pain and Muscle Strength of Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain.
Abstract: This study aimed to provide fundamental data of core balance training (CBT) on Cobb angle and isokinetic torque and balance in unilateral exercised athletes. Forty-eight subjects were divided by [...]
