“…In this study we observed that for the two walking conditions, there are different activation standards, and with the speed increase, the activation increase of all the muscles of the evaluated trunk (IO, MUL, LIC, EO, and AR). We believed that on performing walks at low speed, there is higher temporal variability in exchange of higher dynamic stability [13]. This way, on increasing the speed and instability, the muscles EO, IO, and AR increase the activation producing higher muscular strength and consequently increasing the rigidity of the trunk muscles and, therefore, increasing the stability [27].…”

“…Thirty-four sedentary women attended the survey, aging from 18 to 27 years old; from which 18 composed the chronic lumbar pain team (LPT) and 16 composed the control team (CT), see Table 1. The criteria for LPT eligibility were to be female, sedentary for at least six months, with at least two idiopathic episodes of lumbar region pain in the last three months [13]. The inclusion criteria were the same for WLP; however, the participants should not have presented episodes of lumbar pain in the last three months.…”

Introduction: The lumbar pain is the main musculoskeletal complaint reported by the active population, and it prevents daily activities such as walking. Objective: To assess muscle recruitment and the co-contraction of the trunk muscles during different walking speed in individuals with and without chronic lumbar pain. Method: Thirty-four sedentary young women attended the study, in which 18 belonged to the lumbar pain team (LPT) and 16 to the team without lumbar pain (WLP). We assessed the electromyography activity of the internal oblique (IO) local muscle and lumbar multifidus (MUL), and global external oblique (EO), abdominal rectus (AR) and lumbar iliocostalis (LIC), during walking. The electromyography analysis was performed from the average of the linear envelope value, normalized by the peak of muscle activation. The muscle co-contraction (IO/MUL, EO/LIC, AR/LIC, IO/EO, and the abdominal/paravertebral muscle groups) was calculated with the Falconer and Winter formula. The Shapiro-Wilk test, Multivariate Analysis, mixed Variance Analyses with Bonferroni post-hoc, and Pearson (p < 0.05) correlation coefficient were made by the statistical analysis. Results: In the WLP we could notice that the higher the speed, the higher the MUL activation. The co-contraction data demonstrated that IO/MUL muscles activate 20% more in the LPT, during the preferred speed; however, in the WLP, the results showed that the higher the walking speed, the higher the EO/LIC (21.8%) and IO/MUL (17.8%) muscles activation. Conclusion: The recruitment of local muscles doesn’t differ among the evaluated groups and conditions; however, in WLP, the higher the MUL muscle action, the higher the walking speed.

-Aims:The aim of this study was to verify the influence of Pilates on muscle activation of lumbar multifidus (LM) and transversus abdominis/internal oblique muscles (TrA/IO) in individuals with nonspecific low back pain. Methods: Twelve individuals of both sexes with non-specific low back pain were evaluated before and after a twomonth Pilates program in relation to electromyographic activity of LM and TrA/IO, as well as clinical aspects such as pain, flexibility, muscular endurance, quality of life; and Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (in relation to physical and work-related activities. A statistical analysis was performed using a test for independent samples and significance was established at the level of 0.05. Results: After eight weeks of Pilates training, there was an improvement in the clinical parameters of pain, flexibility, muscular endurance and disability. The individuals presented lower LM activation (p=0.025), higher trunk extension strength (p=0.005) and an increase in time from onset to peak muscle activation (p=0.02). Conclusion: Pilates protocol was effective for clinical improvement and motor behavior in patients with nonspecific low back pain and the parameters assessed showed a large effect size despite the small sample.

Introdução: A dor lombar crônica (DLC) apresenta disfunções neuromusculares, por exemplo, está diminuição da força e resistência muscular, que são essenciais na realização das tarefas e manutenção postural. Objetivo: Caracterizar o comportamento de força e resistência muscular e discriminar qual variável tem maior influência na população com DLC. Métodos: Foram avaliadas 35 mulheres sedentárias entre 18 e 27 anos, divididas em: grupo com DLC (n=18), grupo sem DLC (n=17). A avaliação foi composta pela avaliação do nível de dor (Escala Visual Analógica), força isométrica dos músculos extensores de tronco (Dinamômetro Lombar) e resistência estática dos extensores e tronco (Teste Biering-Sorensen). Foi realizada Análise de Variância Multivariada e Análise Discriminante, adotando o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: O grupo com DLC tem menor força (21%; p=0,01) e resistência (71%, p<0,001) muscular. A análise discriminante mostrou acurácia diagnóstica de 97,1% para resistência e 68,7% para a força muscular. Conclusão: O grupo com DLC apresentou menor força e resistência.
