Abstract

|
|
Background: This study hypothesized that increased muscle activity and balancing ability of the gluteus maximus during toe-tap exercise.
Design: Cross sectional Study.
Methods: After hearing the explanation of the experiment, the subjects performed a Star excursion balance test and measured the Maximum Voluntary Isomeric Contraction (MVIC). After toe-tap exercise, the MVIC was measured again and the Star excursion balance test was measured.
Results: There was no significant difference in activity of gluteus muscle before and after the toe-tap exercise. There was a significant difference in the balance ability in the lateral, posterolateral, and posterior sides of the non-superior foot, but there was no significant difference in the anterior, anterolateral, posteromedial, medial, and anteromedial sides. In the case of superior foot, there were significant differences in six directions, with the exception of anterolateral and lateral sides.
Conclusion: The pelvic stabilizing "gluteus maximus" exercises for balance, which is currently on the table, has many high-level exercises that are hard to do unless you're an athlete. But the Toe-tap exercise is also possible for the elderly and weak women.
