[Purpose] This study researched the influences of different loads on muscle activity of
the posterior fibers of the gluteus medius in a one-leg standing position. [Subjects]
Twenty-four healthy adult men participated in this study. [Methods] All participants
performed the one-leg standing position under four conditions: the standard no-load
condition, in which the non-weight-bearing leg was lifted and kept parallel to the back
and then pelvic or lumbar rotation was performed without thorax rotation, and the 0 kg,
1 kg, and 3 kg load conditions, in which horizontal shoulder abduction was performed with
a load of 0 kg, 1 kg, or 3 kg added to the hand. The electromyographic activity of the
posterior fibers of the gluteus medius was measured using a wireless surface
electromyography under all conditions. The electromyographic activity of each muscle under
the four conditions during the one-leg stance was analyzed using one-way analysis of
variance. [Results] The electromyographic activity of the posterior fiber of the gluteus
medius was significantly increased under the 3 kg load condition compared with the
no-load, 0 kg load, and 1 kg load conditions. [Conclusion] These findings indicated that
muscle activation is affected by increases in load in the one-leg standing position. The
load on the upper extremity influences the muscle activity of the contralateral lower
extremity.
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to obtain detailed and quantified data concerning the effects of plantarflexor fatigue induced to the non-paretic side on muscle activities of the bilateral lower extremities during walking in chronic stroke patients. METHODS: In this study, chronic stroke patients were evaluated for six months after the onset of stroke. To induce the non-paretic plantarflexor fatigue, 20 chronic stroke patients were asked to perform their given fatigue affecting assignments, which were presented in a forced contraction fatigue test method, until the range of motion of the plantarflexor was reduced to less than 50%.
