Responses of the anterolateral abdominal muscles during cough and expiratory threshold loading in the cat.
The present study was conducted to determine the pattern of activation of the anterolateral abdominal muscles during the cough reflex. Electromyograms (EMGs) of the rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, and parasternal muscles were recorded along with gastric pressure in anesthetized cats. Cough was produced by mechanical stimulation of the lumen of the in...
متن کاملEffect of Expiratory Resistive Loading in Expiratory Muscle Strength Training on Orbicularis Oris Muscle Activity
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of expiratory resistive loading on orbicularis oris muscle activity. [Subjects] Subjects were 23 healthy individuals (11 males, mean age 25.5±4.3 years; 12 females, mean age 25.0±3.0 years). [Methods] Surface electromyography was performed to measure the activity of the orbicularis oris muscle during maximum lip closure and resisti...
متن کاملIs Abdominal Muscle Activity Different from Lumbar Muscle Activity during Four-Point Kneeling?
Background: Stabilization exercises can improve the performance of trunk and back muscles, which are effective in the prevention and treatment of low back pain. The four-point kneeling exercise is one of the most common types of stabilization exercises. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate and compare the level of activation between abdominal and lumbar muscles in the different stage...
متن کاملAssessment of transverse abdominal muscle symmetry by ultrasonography.
BACKGROUND One of the methods of assessing the transverse abdominal muscle is ultrasonography, which visualizes its thickness and location. We set out to answer the question if the transverse abdominal muscle can always be treated as located symmetrically among the trunk structures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A group of 113 volunteers took part in the study. The volunteers did not experience any se...
متن کاملFactors influencing the development of expiratory muscle activity during anaesthesia.
Expiratory muscle activity has been studied in the external oblique muscle during anaesthesia with spontaneous breathing in twenty-two patients. Expiratory muscle activity was absent in all subjects before induction but developed within 29 minutes of induction in twenty patients, remaining absent in the other two. Deepening the level of halothane anaesthesia reduced, but in only one case abolis...
