Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the effect of head posture on trapezius muscle activity and ratios during wall slide exercise. The main question the study aims to answer is:

•How does the trapezius muscle activity change during wall slide exercise when performed with a natural head posture and the corrected head posture? The participants performed wall slide exercise with their natural head posture and the corrected posture. For both interventions, muscle activity of the lower, middle and upper trapezius was measured with surface electromyography(EMG) Noraxon MiniDTS system (Noraxon, USA, Inc, Scottsdale, AZ) in the ascending, stationary and descending phases of the exercise.

Conditions

  • Trapezius Muscle Atrophy

Interventions

DEVICE

Surface Electromyography Noraxon MiniDTS system

Trapezius muscle activities of 19 healthy individuals were measured with surface EMG Noraxon MiniDTS system (Noraxon, USA, Inc, Scottsdale, AZ) in the ascending, stationary and descending phases of the wall slide exercise under different head posture conditions: natural head posture and corrected head posture.
