“…Notably, in the dynamic SBD, GMAX, MF, and ES reached mean activation levels higher than 40% MVIC, and peak activation levels of about 80%, 60%, and 60% MVIC, respectively, avoiding the use of any overload, unstable surface, or explosive movement (Figure 3). These levels were considerably higher compared to those recorded during other ground-based bodyweight exercises, which were designed for strengthening hip and lumbar extensor muscles (e.g., the supine bridge exercise) and performed by keeping the spine safely in a neutral position [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…The “bird dog” is one of the most popular core exercises [ 1 , 2 ], is commonly prescribed in lumbopelvic rehabilitation interventions [ 3 ], and is considered one of the most effective therapeutic exercises for the prevention and treatment of low back pain [ 4 ]. Several electromyographic (EMG) studies have evaluated the activity of core muscles during the bird dog exercise [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Overall, these studies provide evidence that this exercise primarily targets the lumbar and hip extensor muscles and reported activation levels of 21–56%, 23–42%, 21–42%, 23–46%, 22–38%, 21–35%, and 4–15% maximum voluntary contractions (MVIC) were obtained for the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, hamstrings, lumbar multifidus, longissimus thoracis, external oblique abdominis, and rectus abdominis, respectively.…”

(1) Background: The “bird dog” exercise is considered one of the most effective therapeutic exercises for lumbopelvic rehabilitation and the prevention and treatment of low back pain. The “standing bird dog” (SBD) exercise, executed in a single-leg stance, constitutes a natural and challenging variation in the “bird dog”; nevertheless, this exercise has not yet been investigated. This study provides a stabilometric and electromyographic analysis of the SBD performed in static and dynamic conditions and in ipsilateral and contralateral variations; (2) Methods: A time-synchronized motion capture system, wireless electromyography sensors, and triaxial force platform were used to analyze the selected SBD exercises; (3) Results: In dynamic conditions, the gluteus maximum, multifidus, lumbar erector spinae, and gluteus medius reached a mean activation level higher than in the static condition, with peak activation levels of 80%, 60%, 55%, and a 45% maximum voluntary isometric contraction, respectively. In the static condition, balance control was more challenging in the mediolateral compared to the anteroposterior direction. In the dynamic condition, the balance challenge was higher in the anteroposterior direction and higher than the static condition in both directions; (4) Conclusions: The SBD was proved to be effective for strengthening the hip and lumbar extensor muscles and provided a powerful challenge to single-leg balance control in both mediolateral and anteroposterior directions.

This study was an experimental type of study. Sample size was determined by simple non probability sampling method. Sample size was taken to be 36. The persons who were diagnosed with Mechanical low back pain and persons who came under the inclusion criteria are selected for the study. A clear explanation about the study and consent form were given to the patients who are willing to participate. Assessment of the patient included NPRS score, Lumbar flexion and extension measurement. Their evaluation was taken at the start of treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment. Consent was obtained from the subject and the procedure was explained to them. All the subjects in these group were given combination of isometrics technique for posterior oblique sling. This study examined the Numerical pain rating scores (NPRS) and Lumbar flexion measurement before and after the treatment of Mechanical low back pain with combination of isotonics technique on posterior oblique sling and conventional physiotherapy. The mean of NPRS scores pretreatment is 6.35 score out of 10 with standard deviation 1.13. Therefore, mean with standard deviation of pretreatment NPRS scores is 6.35±1.13. The post treatment Mean of NPRS scores with the standard deviation is 3.23±1.03.The mean and standard deviation of Lumbar flexion measurement Pretreatment is 3.94±0.97. The mean and standard deviation of Lumbar flexion measurement Post treatment is 6.82±0.75. Hence, there is significant improvement of lumbar flexion in the patients treated.

BACKGROUND: To measure hamstring flexibility, the active knee extension (AKE) test is preferred over the straight leg raise (SLR) test as it can be used to measure hamstring flexibility more selectively. However, hamstring stretching is primarily conducted in the SLR position (maximal hip flexion in the supine position) as it allows for maximal hip flexion in the supine position. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching in the AKE position (maximal knee extension with 90∘ flexion of the hip in the supine position) on hip, knee, and ankle flexibility. METHODS: SLR, AKE, and active dorsiflexion (ADF) tests were used to determine the range of motion (ROM) before (pre-ROM) and after (post-ROM) stretching. PNF stretching consisted of maximal isometric knee flexion at the end range with external resistance to prevent knee flexion. One set of PNF stretches (five trials of six seconds each) was conducted. RESULTS: The post-ROMs of hip, knee, and ankle measured via the SLR, AKE, and ADF tests, respectively, were significantly higher than the pre-ROMs. CONCLUSIONS: The improvement in knee flexibility was greater than the improvement in hip and ankle flexibility. The AKE position is recommended in clinical settings during PNF stretching for individuals with hamstring tightness. Furthermore, PNF stretching in the AKE position increases the ADF ROM.
