“…In addition, when the posture with hip abduction was maintained in the stance position, the activity of the anterior muscles of the trunk was greater on an unstable surface than in the stable basal plane [12]. As shown in the above study, the addition of limb movements to the trunk muscle stabilization exercises further increased abdominal activation [13], and in particular, the movement of one limb further increased the activity of the abdominal muscles associated with trunk stability [14]. Although there are several studies that show that plank exercises are effective, there are few studies that have investigated the activation of trunk muscles during plank exercises according to postural changes [9], and studies with limb movements during modified plank exercise are also lacking.…”

“…Plank exercises are popular and beneficial in rehabilitation programs [17], and the abdominal muscles of the trunk are more active when compared to the trunk extensors [5]. The movement of the limbs, such as hip joint adduction and abduction, contributes to the transfer of force to the trunk muscles through the ASIS [7], and activation of the abdominal muscles with additional limb movements has been reported to occur with larger amplitudes when the predicted instability is applied to the trunk and when the activation patterns of the abdominal muscle is associated with the direction of limb movement [13,14,18].…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the conditions for the application of various plank exercises to people who require trunk stabilization by comparing trunk muscle activity according to the degree of hip abduction in the plank exercise. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty healthy participants voluntarily participated in this study and the plank exercise was performed under 5 conditions (two-legged support plank [TSP] with hip abduction, TSP with hip abduction of 15 degrees, TSP with hip abduction of 30, one-legged support plank [OSP] with hip abduction of 15 degrees, OSP with hip abduction of 30 degrees). In order to measure the trunk muscle activity according to the 5 conditions, surface electromyography was used. The electrical activities of the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), and internal oblique (IO) muscles were measured during the 5 plank exercises. Subjects practiced each of the 5 conditions three times in random order and the average values were obtained. Results: In the OSP condition with 15/30 degrees of hip abduction, activities of the RA, EO, and IO were significantly greater than during the TSP (p<0.05). In the OSP with 30 degrees of hip abduction condition, activities of the left EO, IO were significantly greater than other plank exercise conditions (p<0.05). Conclusions: The plank exercise with hip abduction of 30 degrees and the OSP exercise can be suggested as an effective method to enhance the activity of the trunk oblique muscles.

“…It has been reported that loaded shoulder movements increase trunk muscle activity 12 , 13 ) . Researchers have suggested that shoulder movements facilitate trunk muscle activity to counteract the postural demands or reactive force caused by shoulder movement 12 , 13 , 14 ) . From this point of view, squat exercises with loaded shoulder movements may lead to greater electromyographic activity in the gluteal muscles, as well as the trunk muscles, while maintaining appropriate alignment of the lower extremity.…”

[Purpose] We investigated the effects of shoulder flexion loaded by an elastic tubing band during squat exercises, by assessing electromyographic activities of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. [Subjects] In total, 17 healthy males were recruited. [Methods] Participants performed squat exercises with and without shoulder flexion loaded by a tubing band. Gluteal muscle activities during the downward and upward phases of the squat exercises were recorded using a surface electromyography (EMG) system. The mean electromyographic activities of the gluteal muscles during squat exercises with and without loaded shoulder flexion were compared using the paired t-test. [Results] Electromyographic activities of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius were greater in both the upward and downward phases of the squat with loaded shoulder flexion. [Conclusions] The combination of squat and loaded shoulder flexion can be an effective exercise for increasing gluteal muscle activity.

“…Aruin and Latash7 ) reported that the activity pattern of the trunk muscles was related to the direction of limb movement. Also, Lee et al8 ) in a study using Thera-band in hemiplegia patients with stroke, reported that the external oblique, which is a trunk rotator, on the paretic side showed significantly higher activity in non-paretic arm extension and abduction than did that on the non-paretic side. These studies suggest methods that use the non-paretic side to increases trunk muscle strength on the paretic side in therapeutic exercises with hemiplegic patients.…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of non-paretic arm movement during the bridge exercise on trunk muscle activity in stroke patients. [Participants and Methods] In total, 18 stroke patients were recruited. Surface EMG electrodes were attached over the trunk muscles (rectus abdominis, RA; internal oblique, IO; erector spinae, ES), and three kinds of bridge exercises were performed: 1) ‘standard’ bridge, 2) bridge with unilateral isometric arm flexion, and 3) bridge with unilateral isometric arm horizontal abduction. [Results] According to the activity of the trunk muscles measured during bridge exercises, only the IO and ES showed significantly greater muscle activity during bridges with isometric arm horizontal abduction and flexion than during the standard bridge. Additionally, comparison of the paretic and non-paretic sides showed that muscle activity was higher on the paretic side. [Conclusion] This study showed that, as an exercise to heighten the activity of the trunk muscles in stroke patients, bridge exercises with accompanying non-paretic arm flexion and horizontal abduction were more effective clinically than a standard bridge.
