Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of hand grip force on the activity of shoulder muscles in 2 arm postures. The muscle activity of the upper trapezius, lower trapezius, infraspinatus, anterior deltoid, and posterior deltoid muscles in 22 healthy subjects (11 men and 11 women) were measured using surface electrodes during 4 hand gripping tasks (0%, 30%, 50%, and 70% of maximum voluntary contraction) in 2 shoulder positions (neutral position and $90^{\circ}$ elevation position). Among changing grip force significantly differenced infraspinatus, anterior deltoid, and posterior deltoid muscles' activity in the shoulder neutral position(p<0.05). In the shoulder $90^{\circ}$ elevation position, anterior deltoid, posterior deltoid muscles' activity was significantly differenced(p<0.05). Hand gripping was found to alter muscle activation. The hand grip task activated the infraspinatus muscle in the neutral position and inhibited the deltoid muscle in the $90^{\circ}$ elevation position. This finding may prove useful for the development preventative measures and rehabilitation strategies for shoulder injuries.

본 연구는 파악력의 강도가 두 가지 팔 자세에서 어깨근육 근활성도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 건강한 성인 22명(남 11명, 여 11명)을 대상으로 실시하였고, 4가지 파악력(최대 파악력의 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%)을 팔의 중립 자세와 팔 $90^{\circ}$ 거상 자세에서 적용 했을 때 상승모근, 하승모근, 극하근, 전삼각근, 후삼각근의 근활성도를 표면 근전도를 이용하여 측정하였다. 팔 중립 자세에서는 파악력의 강도에 따라 극하근, 전삼각근, 후삼각근이 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<0.05), 팔 $90^{\circ}$ 거상 자세에서는 전삼각근, 후삼각근이 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과, 2가지 팔의 자세에서 각각 파악력의 강도에 따라 어깨근육 근활성도가 변화됨을 확인하였다. 손 쥐기 과제를 중립자세에서 실시할 경우 어깨관절 안정근인 극하근이 활성화되고, 팔 $90^{\circ}$ 거상 자세에서는 삼각근을 억제된다는 점을 고려하여, 손을 사용하는 작업 시 인간공학적 접근으로 어깨 손상의 예방과 손상 후 재활 훈련 시 효율적인 전략으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.
