Lumbopelvic Movement Control: Effect of Injury History, and the Role of Cortical Control and Its Practical Application 2

Summary

Hip motor control ability is an important parameter for preventing sport injuries in lower limbs, and the training of hip motor control can enhance the lower extremity movement performance. Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits of motor imagery with action observation (AOMI) on motor control and muscle strength improvements, which also revealed that AOMI combined with physical training (AOMI-PT) can lead to better outcomes than physical training (PT) alone. Besides, monitoring the neurophysiological changes of brain activation and the functional connection to the peripheral muscular activation after training helps to understanding the mechanisms on the training effects.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare (1) the cortical control mechanisms between 3 types of motor control training strategies; and (2) the effects of 3 types of motor control training on hip motor control performance in healthy subjects.

Conditions

• Biomechanical Phenomena

Interventions

OTHER

motor imagery with action observation

Standing clamshell exercise with elastic band, sliding, and Romanian deadlift exercise will be instructed to the subjects with video, and they will practice each exercise for 3 times in physical to familiarize with the program. Then, the subjects will mentally simulate each exercise with video 10 times for a set, 3 sets totally. With 2 min interval between each sets, it will take approximately 8 minutes to finish each movement. It will also take 3 min for resting between each program.

physical training

Standing clamshell exercise with elastic band, sliding, and Romanian deadlift exercise will be instructed to the subjects with video, and they will practice each exercise for 3 times in physical to familiarize with the program. Then, the subjects will physically perform each exercise with supervision of investigator 10 times for a set, 3 sets totally. With 2 min interval between each sets, it will take approximately 8 minutes to finish each movement. It will also take 3 min for resting between each program.
