“…A body immersed in water experiences reduced gravitational stress in muscles and joints, especially of the lower limbs. The response from these receptors may be decreased as a result of buoyancy forces (6,27,28. This effect may interfere with the neuromuscular and proprioceptive systems, preventing the subject from having a similar performance to that achieved on the ground.…”

Introduction: Functional reach (FR) and lateral reach (LR) tests are widely used in scientific research and clinical practice. Assessment tools are useful in assessing subjects with greater accuracy and are usually adapted according to the limitations of each condition. Objective: To adapt FR and LR tests for use in an aquatic environment and assess the performance of healthy young adults. Methods: We collected anthropometric data and information on whether the participant exercised regularly or not. The FR and LR tests were adapted for use in an aquatic environment and administered to 47 healthy subjects aged 20-30 years. Each test was repeated three times. Results: Forty-one females and six males were assessed. The mean FR test score for men was 24.06 cm, whereas the mean value for right lateral reach (RLR) was 10.94 cm and for left lateral reach (LLR) was 9.78 cm. For females, the mean FR score was 17.57 cm, while the mean values for RLR was 8.84cm and for LLR was 7.76 cm. Men performed better in the FR (p < 0.001) and RLR tests than women (p = 0.037). Individuals who exercised regularly showed no differences in performance level when compared with their counterparts. Conclusion: The FR and LR tests were adapted for use in an aquatic

“…In recent years, several commercial products have been developed and used in proprioceptive training (FRANCO; AMAT; LÓPEZ, 2013), leading researchers to analyze the electrical activity of the ankle and thigh muscles in proprioceptive exercises with different devices (MARTINS et al, 2014;CALLEGARI et al, 2010), including the Both Sides Utilized (BOSU) balance trainer (LAUDNER; KOSCHNITZKY, 2010). The BOSU is an instrument of unstable surface that has a solid platform base with a rubber inflatable dome, similar to a gym ball halved, which has become quite popular in fitness centers and physical therapy clinics (LAUDNER; KOSCHNITZKY, 2010;SANCHEZ, 2012).…”

Ankle sprains are commonly related to sporty activities and often associated with decreases in sensorimotor control, including proprioception, muscle strength and balance. The use of unstable surfaces in the fields of rehabilitation and general fitness has been shown to be effective in increasing the sensory efficiency of soft tissues that stabilize the knee and ankle as well as improving the agonist-antagonist co-contraction. The aim of this study was to analyze the EMG activity of the ankle muscles -the tibialis anterior (TA), peroneus longus (PL) and medial head of the gastrocnemius (GM) during proprioceptive exercises using the BOSU compared to other devices traditionally used (balance platform, trampoline and proprioceptive disk). Eleven male volunteers were recruited and data collection was performed using single differential surface electrodes. The EMG signal was recorded and expressed as root mean square, which was normalized by the maximum voluntary isometric contraction. The data were subjected to parametric statistical analysis, using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures. The results showed that the BOSU provided greater activity in the ankle muscles than the most proprioceptive devices, accordingly, the BOSU is a device that should be employed to diversify programs of prevention/rehabilitation for lower limb injuries, preferentially in advanced stages of these approaches.
