PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of vibration frequency and amplitude on scapular winging during the knee push-up plus exercise. METHODS: A total of 26 female subjects with scapular winging were evaluated while performing the knee push-up plus exercise with no vibration, low-frequency/low-amplitude (5 Hz/3 mm) vibration, low-frequency/high-amplitude (5 Hz/9 mm) vibration, high-frequency/low-amplitude (15 Hz/3 mm) vibration, and high-frequency/high-amplitude (15 Hz/9 mm) vibration. The surface EMG of the serratus anterior (SA) muscle was compared between the vibration frequency and amplitude. The EMG amplitude was normalized using the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). The statistical significance of the results was evaluated using one-way ANOVA. RESULTS: The SA muscle EMG values increased at low-frequency/low-amplitude vibration and at low-frequency/high-amplitude vibration compared to no vibration. Furthermore, the same values increased at high-frequency/low-amplitude vibration and high-frequency/high-amplitude vibration compared to no vibration. In general, a higher vibration frequency and amplitude was associated with higher EMG values of the SA muscle, with particularly greater increases observed during high-frequency/high-amplitude vibration. There was also a significant difference between each condition with a high-frequency/high-amplitude vibration (p<.05). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that there were remarkable clinical effect of the knee push-up plus exercise with vibration, which enhanced the SA muscle activation in persons with scapular winging. Furthermore, applying a higher vibration frequency and amplitude more effectively increased for increasing SA muscle activation.

Purpose : This study was investigated effects of vibration on scapular winging of knee push-up plus exercise. Methods : Twenty-eight female subjects with scapular winging were evaluated after performing knee push-up plus exercise, with or without vibration, three times a week for four weeks. Muscle activation of the serratus anterior and upper trapezius, and the ratio of activation of the upper trapezius to serratus anterior were measured using surface EMG; and scapular winging length was measured by using the caliper. Results : The findings showed that knee push-up plus exercise -with and without- vibration induced a significant increase in muscle activation of serratus anterior (p<.05) and a significant decrease in muscle activation of the upper trapezius (p<.05), the ratio of muscle activation of the upper trapezius to the serratus anterior (p<.05) and scapular winging length (p<.05). There was also a significant difference in muscle activation of the serratus anterior (p<.05) and upper trapezius (p<.05) between control and experimental group at post-test. Conclusion : This study suggests positive clinical effects of knee push-up plus exercise with vibration which enhanced muscle activation of serratus anterior and reduced muscle activation of upper trapezius in person with scapular winging. However, vibration had no effectiveness to improve muscle imbalance between serratus anterior and upper trapezius, and reduce the scapular winging length.

Background: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of push-up plus exercise on the changes in the thickness of the trapezius trapezius, serratus anterior and pectoralis major muscles involved in shoulder stability in various support surfaces. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The thickness change of the shoulder stabilizing muscle was measured using an ultrasound device. Corresponding t-test was performed to confirm the change within the group before the experiment and after 5 weeks. And one-way ANOVA was used to confirm the change between groups after 5 weeks. As a post hoc test, the least significant difference test was performed, and the significance level was set to a=0.05. Results: Changes in the thickness of the trapezius muscle within the group were significantly different between UPEG and SPEG after 5 weeks (p<0.05), and there was a significant difference between groups after 5 weeks (p<0.05). Changes in the thickness of the serratus anterior and pectoralis major muscle within the group were significantly different after 5 weeks in PEG, UPEG and SPEG (p<0.05), and the changes between the groups were significantly different in the serratus anterior muscle after 5 weeks (p<0.05). Conclusion: From the results of this study, it was found that the push-up exercise on an unstable support surface was effective for strengthening the trapezius upper and serratus anterior. This study intends to suggest the possibility of application as basic data for a push-up plus exercise program in clinical practice.

목적: 12~13세 초등학생을 대상으로 push-up 방법과 push-away 방법을 사용하여 측정된 조절력을 비교하고, 폭주 근점을 측정하여 조절 및 폭주 부족의 발생률을 알아보았다. 방법: 대상자는 안경교정시력이 1.0이상인 초등학교 학생 88명으로 평균연령은 $12.63{\pm}0.51$세(12~13세) 이었다. 조절력의 측정은 push-up 방법과 push-away 방법을 이용하였다. 폭주 근점은 분리점(break point)과 회복점(recovery point)을 측정하였다. 결과: 대상자의 단안 평균 조절력은 push-up 방법이 $11.52{\pm}2.50D$였고, push-away 방법은 $10.06{\pm}1.97D$로 측정되었다. 두 방법 간의 디옵터는 $1.46{\pm}1.58D$ 만큼 push-up 방법이 크게 측정되었다. 대상자의 평균 파괴점과 회복점은 각각 $8.66{\pm}1.99cm$과 $10.98{\pm}2.06cm$이었다. 조절 부족은 전체의 28.75%, 폭주 부족은 전체의 30.00%를 나타냈다. 나이에 따른 정상범위의 조절력을 보인 대상자와 폭주 근점의 측정값이 모두 정상 범위에 포함된 경우는 48.75%였다. 조절 부족과 폭주 부족이 함께 나타난 경우는 7.50% 였다. 결론: Push-up 방법과 push-away 방법으로 측정된 조절력은 0.6025의 높은 상관성을 보였다(P<0.05). 나이에 따른 정상적인 조절력을 가진 경우는 71.25%였고, 정상적인 폭주 근점을 보인 경우가 70.00%였다.

이 연구는 30~40대 사무직 여성들을 대상으로 아동 운동 발달학 원리를 바탕으로 한 체코 겟업 운동이 기능적 움직임 및 동적 균형 능력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고자 실시하였다. 무작위 배정을 통해 체코 겟 업 운동 집단(CGUG, n=15)과 통제 집단(CG, n=14)을 구성하여 12주, 주 3회, 일 60분씩 운동을 적용하였으며, 통제 집단은 동일 기간 일상생활을 유지하도록 하였다. 이 연구 결과 체코 겟 업 운동 후 딥 스쿼트(p<.001), 허들 스텝(p<.001), 인라인 런지(p<.001), 푸쉬업(p<.001), 회전 안정성(p<.01) 및 총 점수(p<.001), 상체 동적균형능력(p<.001)과 우측 하체 동적균형능력(p<.001)에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 아동 운동 발달학을 원리로 한 체코 겟 업 운동이 사무직 성인 여성들의 기능적 움직임 및 동적 균형 능력에 긍정적인 효과를 주어 건강한 삶뿐만 아니라 근로 효율 또한 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
