“…In general, high heels over 6 cm increase lumbar muscle fatigue resulting in high back pain3 ) . The muscle activity of the erector muscle of the spine while wearing high heels increased muscle activity5, 6 ) . This research has demonstrated that patients with back pain have higher muscle activity than people without back pain7 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the method of bridge exercise on the change of rectus abdominis muscle and the muscle activity of paraspinal muscles while doing treadmill walking with high heels. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this research are healthy female students consisting of 10 persons performing bridge exercises in a supine group, 10 persons performing bridge exercises in a prone group, and 10 persons in a control group while in S university in Busan. Bridge exercise in supine position is performed in hook lying position. Bridge exercise in prone position is plank exercise in prostrate position. To measure the strength of rectus abdominis muscle, maintaining times of the posture was used. To measure the muscle activity of paraspinal muscles, EMG (4D-MT & EMD-11, Relive, Korea) was used. [Results] The strength of rectus abdominis muscle of both bridge exercises in the supine group and bridge exercises in the prone group increases significantly after exercise. The muscle activity of paraspinal muscle such as thoracic parts and lumbar parts in bridge exercises in the prone group decreases statistically while walking on a treadmill with high heels. Muscle activity of thoracic parts paraspinal muscle and bridge exercises in the supine group decreased significantly. [Conclusion] According to this study, we noticed that bridge exercise in a prone position is desirable for women who prefer wearing high heels as a back pain prevention exercise method.

“…This suggested that the interventions in this study would have a positive effect on bringing the knee and hip joints of the subjects to a neutral position. Lee (2019) 39) showed that shortening of the GCM length affected dynamic balance and foot pressure distribution anteriorly, and that changes in foot pressure through therapeutic interventions could im- prove proprioception and thus balance ability. 36) Third, the sway index, a measure of static balance, showed a significant decrease in all settings except for standing on a hard footrest with eyes open.…”

“…30) The present study showed an increase in muscle activity in the lateral GCM, suggesting that the intervention in this study should be beneficial for ankle stability as well as balance. 21) When the lateral GCM is shortened, the calf bone exhibits posterior migration, 39) which can affect ankle joint and knee joint motion, leading to foot shape deformity and excessive knee flexion. 40) This study showed a significant increase in muscle activity in the soleus.…”

Purpose This study was to investigate the effects of ankle control training combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on foot function and balance in a healthy adult. Methods Eight healthy people were selected for the study. The intervention was applied the NMES on gastrocnemius (GCM) in upright standing. Ankle control training was combined with NMES. The intervention was performed for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for four weeks. Ankle Range of Motion (ROM), Knee to Wall Test (KWT), Foot Pressure (FP), and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) were used to measure foot function. and Sway Index (SI) was used to measure balance. Results The intervention group showed a statistically significant increase in ankle ROM (p<.05) and KWT (p<.05). FP (p<.05) and sEMG (p<.05) show a statistically significant change. SI show a statistically significant decrease except when standing on a firm pad with eyes open. Conclusion Ankle control training combined with NMES was effective in foot function and balance.
