Effects of Thoracic Mobilization and Manipulation on Function and Mental State in Chronic Lower Back Pain.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in function and mental state after thoracic mobilization and manipulation in patients with chronic [...]
Effect of the Push-up Plus (PUP) Exercise at Different Shoulder Rotation Angles on Shoulder Muscle Activities.
Purpose: Although the Push-Up Plus is a useful exercise method for shoulder stabilization, few studies have examined its effects at different angles of shoulder rotation. [...]
Effect of the Shoulder Flexion Angle in the Sagittal Plane on the Muscle Activities of the Upper Extremities when Performing Push-up plus Exercises on an Unstable Surface.
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 [...]
Effectiveness of sling exercise for chronic low back pain: a systematic review.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
