Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of normal timing according to angular motion in PNF patterns on electromyography (EMG) activity in rectus abdominis, internal oblique abdominal muscle, external oblique abdominal muscle, and erector spinae.
Methods: Ten healthy adults volunteered to participate in this study. The participants were required to complete following two PNF extremity patterns; upper extremity extension- adduction-internal rotation pattern with 180°, 90°, 30°and lower extremity flexion- adduction-external rotation pattern with 0°, 60°, 90°. A paired t-test was used to determine the influence of the two PNF patterns on muscle activity in each muscle. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the ratio of local muscle activity to global muscle activity.
Results: In terms of their effect on applied normal timing, the upper and lower extremity pattern significantly affected the rectus abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique, and erector spinae (p < .05). The upper extremity pattern (at an extension angle of 30°) and the lower extremity pattern ((at a flexion angle of 90°) influenced the rectus abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique, and erector spinae (p < .05).
Conclusion: The effect of the upper and lower extremity patterns on applied normal timing was significant in that these patterns increased trunk muscle activation. The upper extremity pattern (at an extension angle of 30°) and the lower extremity pattern (at a flexion angle of 90°) increased trunk muscle activation. Normal timing is required to increase trunk muscle strength and extremity movement.
