“…DI is used clinically to treat low back pain and to obtain stability of the lumbar spine and pelvis through increased abdominal core muscle activation 15 , 16 , 17 ) , and if was found to increase the thickness of the abdominal core muscles in the forward step posture 18 ) . In the present study, the thorax was pushed up by the internal abdominal pressure caused by the 2.1 cm shrinkage in abdominal circumference, and this is considered to have induced a decrease of TK.…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of a decrease in thoracic kyphosis angle on the knee adduction moment during gait in healthy young individuals. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-nine healthy adults, consisting of 15 males and 14 females (21.6 ± 1.1 years old), participated. The draw-in maneuver was used to decrease thoracic kyphosis, and thoracic kyphosis was measured using a SpinalMouse during normal standing and standing with the draw-in maneuver. The participants were required to maintain the draw-in maneuver during gait. A 3-D motion analysis system and a force plate were used to obtain knee adduction moment. [Results] Thoracic kyphosis angles during the draw-in maneuver (41.0 ± 7.4 degrees) were significantly decreased compared with the angles during normal standing (43.0 ± 7.9 degrees). Although the knee adduction moment during gait with the draw-in maneuver was not significantly decreased compared with that during level gait, in the 20 subjects who had decreased kyphosis due to the draw-in maneuver, the 1st peak knee adduction moment (55.7 ± 24.3 × 10−3) with the draw-in maneuver was significantly decreased compared with the knee adduction moment (57.0 ± 16.3 × 10−3) during level gait. [Conclusion] Knee adduction moment in the case of a decreased thoracic kyphosis angle due to the draw-in maneuver was decreased compared with that during level gait.

Effects of lumbopelvic sling and abdominal drawing-in exercises on lung capacity in healthy adults

2016

[Purpose] To examine the effects of lumbopelvic sling and abdominal drawing-in exercises on the lung capacities of healthy subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-nine healthy subjects with no orthopedic history of the back were recruited. Subjects were randomly assigned to a experimental group and control group. Subjects were allocated to one of two groups; an experimental group that underwent lumbopelvic sling and abdominal drawing-in exercises and a control group that underwent treadmill and abdominal drawing-in exercises. Lung capacities were evaluated 4 weeks after exercises. [Results] The experimental group showed significant increments in EV, ERV, IRV, VT vs. pre-intervention results, and the control group showed significant increments in the EVC and IRV. Significant intergroup differences were observed in terms of post-training gains in EVC, IRV, and VT. [Conclusion] Combined application of lumbopelvic sling and abdominal drawing-in exercises were found to have a positive effect on lung capacity.

“…The abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) is commonly used clinically as a spinal stabilization exercise that isolates the TrA [3,4,17,18]. The ADIM is designed to activate the TrA while minimally contracting the internal oblique (IO) and external oblique (EO) muscles [19].…”

Objective: To investigate the appropriate position for abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) exercise by rehabilitative ultrasound image. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty-eight young adults with no history of low back pain participated in the study. Three positions compared were crook lying position with hip 60 o flexion, standing position with the feet hip width apart and knees straight, and saddle standing positionunsupported with the knees 20 o flexed. Once in the appropriate position, the subjects were verbally cued to draw in their abdominal wall, with the intention of pulling their navel inward toward their lower back. The thickness of each transversus abdominis (TrA), internal oblique (IO), and external oblique (EO) muscles were measured via ultrasound and recorded at the end of inspiration. Results: When compared to the TrA thickness of rest, the TrA thickness was significantly increased in all three positions (crook lying, standing, and saddle standing) during the ADIM (p<0.05). IO thickness was significantly greater in standing and saddle standing than in crook lying (p<0.05). EO thickness was constant in all the three positions. Conclusions: The present study suggests that standing and saddle standing positions could be recommended for the ADIM to maximize recruitment of the TrA and IO activation. Specifically, the saddle standing position with knees flexed to 20 o was observed to increase the TrA activation more than the standing position. These findings should be considered when core stability exercises such as the ADIM are conducted.
