“…Common exercises for trunk stabilization include the pelvic tilt, the quadruped position, abdominal hollowing, and bridge exercises with hip extension in a supine crook-lying position5 ) . Bridge exercises make patients feel more comfortable by reducing pain and retraining the global and local muscles to ensure they are coordinated in an appropriate manner6 ) .…”

[Purpose] This study compared abdominal and hip extensor muscle activity during a bridge exercise with various knee joint angles. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-two healthy male subjects performed a bridge exercise in which the knee joint angle was altered. While subjects performed the bridge exercise, external oblique, internal oblique, gluteus maximus, and semitendinosus muscle activity was measured using electromyography. [Results] The bilateral external and internal oblique muscle activity was significantly higher at 0° knee flexion compared to 120°, 90°, and 60°. The bilateral gluteus maximus muscle activity was significantly different at 0° of knee flexion compared to 120°, 90°, and 60°. The ipsilateral semitendinosus muscle activity was significantly increased at 90° and 60° of knee flexion compared to 120°, and significantly decreased at 0° knee flexion compared with 120°, 90°, and 60°. The contralateral semitendinosus muscle activity was significantly higher at 60° of knee flexion than at 120°, and significantly higher at 0° of knee flexion than at 120°, 90°, and 60°. [Conclusion] Bridge exercises performed with knee flexion less than 90° may be used to train the ipsilateral semitendinosus. Furthermore, bridge exercise performed with one leg may be used to train abdominal and hip extensor muscles.

“…Jang et al 17 has reported that increases in trunk muscle activity can been observed with applying hip adduction to a bridge exercise compared to performing a general bridge exercise. Although studies on the effects of lower extremity movements being included with bridge exercises are being actively conducted, studies focusing on the use of hip abduction are lacking.…”

“…Jang et al 17 conducted a study comparing the difference between a general bridge and a bridge with hip adduction, however, the study did not include the use of an unstable surface. Park et al 16 conducted a study on bridge exercises with the use of a sling, but did not compare with the general bridge or other degrees of hip adduction.…”

This study investigated the influence of muscle activity of the trunk and lower limb during a bridge exercise using a unstable surface and during one-legged bridge hip abduction in healthy adults. Methods: Nineteen healthy participated in this study (12 males and 7 females, aged 29.0± 5.0). The participants were instructed to perform the bridge exercises under six different conditions. Trunk and lower limb muscle activation, such as the erector spinae (ES), gluteus maximus (GM), external oblique (EO), and internal oblique (IO), was measured using surface electromyography. The six different bridge exercise conditions were conducted randomly. Data analysis was performed by using the mean scores after three trials of each condition. Results: On the ipsilateral side, muscle activity of the IO, EO, and ES during the hip abduction condition (Single-legged hip abduction bridge, Bridge with use of a ball and single-leg hip abduction, Bridge with use of a sling and single-leg hip abduction) was significantly higher than those during Unstable surface (Bridge with use of a ball, Bridge with use of a sling) and General bridging exercise (p< 0.05). In the contralateral side, activities of the GM and EO during Single-legged hip abduction bridge, Bridge with use of a ball and single-leg hip abduction and Bridge with use of a sling and single-leg hip abduction was significantly higher than that during Bridge with use of a ball, Bridge with use of a sling and General bridging exercise (p< 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that performing a bridge exercise with use of a sling and single-leg hip abduction had an effect on trunk and gluteal muscle activation. The findings of this study suggest that this training method can be clinically effective for unilateral training and for patients with hemiplegia.

“…A significant increase in left EO was observed with the IHAD condition only, although no significant differences were found in the right EO. Jang et al [7] investigated the effects of performing bridge exercises with hip adduction on the EO, RA, IO, and GM and reported significant increases in all muscle activity with hip adduction applied compared to the general bridge exercises in healthy female subjects. It has been stated that the hip adductors originate proximal to the inferior aspect of the body and ischium and insert distally on the femur, which may affect the control of trunk muscles attached to the pelvis.…”

“…They had found significantly greater GM muscle activity with the application of IHAB compared to without IHAB, but no significant differences in HAM muscle activity. In contrast, Jang et al [7] investigated the effects of performing bridge exercises with hip adduction on the abdominal and hip extensor muscles in healthy female subjects. Results showed that the application of hip adduction increased muscle activities of the rectus abdominus (RA), EO, internal oblique (IO), and GM muscles during bridge exercises.…”

Objective:To investigate the effect of performing three different bridge exercise conditions on the activities of four different muscles using surface electromyography (sEMG) in healthy young adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 20 healthy young adults (10 males, 10 females) voluntarily participated in this study. All subjects randomly performed three different bridge conditions as follows: general bridge exercise, isometric hip abduction (IHAB) with a blue Theraband (Hygenic Corp., USA), and isometric hip adduction (IHAD) with a Swiss ball (Hygenic Corp.). The muscle activities of bilateral erector spinae (ES), gluteus maximus (GM), biceps femoris (BF), and external oblique (EO) muscles during the bridge exercises were measured using sEMG. Subjects performed each of the three bridge conditions three times in random order and mean values were obtained. Results: For bilateral ES and BF, there was a significant increase in muscle activity in the IHAD condition compared to the general bridge and IHAB condition (p<0.05). For bilateral GM, there was a significant increase in muscle activity in the IHAB condition compared to the general bridge condition (p<0.05) and there was a significant increase in muscle activity in the IHAB condition compared to IHAD condition (p<0.05). For left EO, a significant increase was observed in the IHAD condition compared to the general bridge condition (p<0.05). Conclusions: ES and BF muscle activity increases were observed with hip adduction and increased GM activity was observed with hip abduction. These findings may be applicable within the clinical field for selective trunk and lower extremity muscle activation and advanced rehabilitation purposes.
