Does Core Activation on an Unstable Surface Affect Periscapular Muscle Activation?

NCT05400772 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The core muscles contain various muscle groups that stabilize the shoulders, pelvis, and spine, and they play an important role as pivot points in extremity movements. It is known that core muscles stabilize the lumbar region and core stabilization affects muscle activation. İn addition conscious abdominal muscle activation during exercise performance is believed to promote greater scapular muscle activation through existing myofascial connections. Studies support the relationship between the scapular region and the core region.

Another aspect of rehabilitation is the use of unstable surfaces with exercise, since it is possible to increase neuromuscular demand without placing further overload on the musculoskeletal system.

Hypothesis originating from the investigation:

H1: Exercises performed with core activation on stable surfaces activate the muscles around the scapula more than exercises performed without core activation.

H2: Exercises performed with core activation on unstable surfaces activate the muscles around the scapula more than exercises performed without core activation.

H3: Exercises performed with core activation on unstable surfaces activate muscle activation around the scapula more than exercises performed on stable surfaces.

H4: Exercises performed without core activation on unstable surfaces activate muscle activation around the scapula more than exercises performed on stable surfaces.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

OTHER

electromyographic device

An 8-channel surface EMG system (Noraxon Telemyo DTS system, Scottsdale, USA) will be used to measure signals from muscles during surface electromyography measurements.
