In this study, we investigated the effects of stretching and movement with mobilization in lunge position on the muscle activity of the lower limb and limited of stability in chronic stroke patients with hemiplegia. Sixteen subjects were randomly selected and classified into the experimental and control groups. The experimental group performed self stretching exercises in the lunge position, and in the control group performed movement with mobilization in the lunge position. The interventions were conducted for 20 min, 5 times a week for 8 weeks. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated ANOVA. The analysis results showed no statistically significant between-group differences with respect to the muscle activity(%MVIC;maximum voluntary isometric contraction) of lower limb and limited of stability(LOS)(p>.05). However, statistically significant within-group differences were observed in the maximum voluntary isometric contraction and limited of stability for both the groups (p<.05). Therefore, self stretching in the lunge position is considered to have positive influences on the muscle strength and balance in stroke patients with hemiplegia.

This study aimed to examine the changes in dynamic balance exercises after performing lunge exercises on unstable surfaces and on the ground. Participants were divided into a BOSU training group, a balance pad training group, and a ground training group, and performed lunge exercises. As a result, the functional reach test significantly increased in both the BOSU training group and the ground training group, while the Y-balance test significantly increased only in the balance pad training group. No significant differences were found between the groups. Through this study, it was confirmed that although differences between lunge exercises on the ground and on unstable surfaces were not identified, lunge exercises do influence balance ability.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of elastic band exercises and lunge on the knee Electromyography and Q-Angle in people with genu varum. The subjects of this study were healthy general people who had genu varum of 18 subjects. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups as a elastic band group (n=9, 6 males and 3 females, age: $22.55{\pm}2.05years$, height: $169.8{\pm}6.07cm$, weight: $66.44{\pm}9.83kg$) and a lunge group (n=9, 7 males and 2 females, age: $23.88{\pm}1.37years$, height: $173.66{\pm}6.72cm$, weight: $67.22{\pm}13.30kg$).The elastic band exercise and the lunge were performed every week, for four weeks. These results suggest that the Q-Angle of both knees showed differences before and after the intervention in elastic band group and lunge group. Also, The MVIC was no changes in both groups before and after the intervention except for the left foot in elastic band group and lunge group. As a result, the space distance of knees in both groups was significantly reduced. These result suggested that the elastic band exercise and lunge were effective ways in alleviating genu varum.

The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for the shoulder strengthening exercise by analyzing the% MVIC of the muscle activity in the shoulder rotator cuff by the difference of the stance posture and the anatomical plane. 8male subjects were randomly assigned to perform the shoulder rotation exercise 10 times on the frontal plane, the horizontal plane, the sagittal plane and the two legs stance posture, the one leg stance posture, the lunge posture. Measured muscle activity of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, anterior deltoid, rectus abdominis, erector supinea, pectoralis major, lattisimus dorsi during exercise. A repetitive one-way ANOVA was performed using the SPSS 22.0 statistical program. First, during the external rotation on the frontal plane, the erector spinea was higher in the lunge posture than in the two legs stance posture and the one leg stance posture, And during the internal rotation on the frontal plane, the muscle activity of suprapinatus was higher in one leg stance posture than in the two legs stance posture and more so in the lunge posture. Second, during the external rotation on the horizontal plane, the muscle activity of deltoid anterior was higher in the one legs stance posture and in the lunge posture than in the two legs stance posture, and during the internal rotation on the horizontal plane, the muscle activity of infraspinatus was higher in the lunge posture than in the two legs stance posture and one leg posture, and the muscle activity of pectoralis major was higher in two leg stance posture than in the one legs stance posture and more so in the lunge posture. Third, during the external rotation on the sagittal plane, muscle activity of rectus abdominis was higher one leg stance posture in the lunge posture than in two leg stance posture. During the internal rotation on the sagittal plane, muscle activity of supraspinatus was higher one leg stance posture in the lunge posture than in two leg stance posture. And muscle activity of infraspinatus was higher in the lunge posture than in two leg stance posture, one leg stance. And muscle activity of Rectus abdominis was higher in the lunge posture and one leg stance posture than in the two legs stance posture. And muscle activity of Erector spinea was higher in the two legs stance postur and lunge posture than in the one leg stance posture. In conclusion, the differences in stance and shoulder anatomy have different effects on the muscle activity of the shoulder rotator exercises, and this is expected to be a more positive exercise program when applied to the shoulder strengthening exercise program.

본 연구의 목적은 응급구조사들이 긴 척추고정판을 이용하여 환자를 들어 올리는 3가지 다른 자세와 다른 3가지 부하 조건을 이용하여, 요추 4번과 5번의 압축력, 전단응력 그리고 합력의 변화를 동역학적 모델을 제시하기 위한 분석이다. 연구방법 : 36명의 남자가 본 연구의 실험에 자발적으로 동원되었으며, 나이는 평균 21.42세이고, 신장은 평균 174.05cm이며, 체중은 평균 78.05kg이다. 이 실험에서 부하 조건은 50, 70, 90kg이고, 들어 올리는 높이는 지상에서부터 95cm 이었으며, 들어 올리는 동안의 회전고리는 110cm이었다. 운동현상학적 자료는 2-D ProReflex Motion Capture Camera을 이용하였으며, sampling rate는 60Hz로 하였다. 결과 및 논의 : 동역학적 데이터 자료를 근거로 한 본 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. Lunge 자세기술에서 전단응력과 합력 등이 최소의 stress로 요추 4번 5번에 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 Lunge 기술에서 압축력은 약간 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구에서 Stooped 자세기술에서는 아주 큰 전단응력과 합력 등이 요추 4번, 5번 관절에 넓게 작용하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 들어 올리는 동작을 할 때 상해의 원인이 된다고 사료된다. 특히 응급구조사들이 들것을 들어 올릴 때 너무 큰 전단응력이 요추 4번, 5번 관절에 작용을 하면 비정상적으로 병리학상 또는 해부학상 신체적변화가 온다고 해석할 수 있다. 그래서 응급구조사들에게 들것을 들어올리는 stooped 자세는 아주 크고 많은 합력 작용하기 때문에 권고될만한 기술이 아니라고 해석 된다. Squat 자세에서 중간 정도의 압축력, 전단응력 그리고 합력이 작용된다. 만약 응급구조사가 전단응력 그리고 합력이 요추에 미치는 영향이 가장 걱정된다면, lunge 자세가 두 가지 힘을 줄여줄 수 있다고 사료된다. 마지막으로 응급구조사가 들것을 들어올리는 데는 squat 자세 기술이 가장 좋다고 사료 된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect that difference in forefoot of shoe flexibility during the quick lunge from a jump smashing on the lower limbs and the plantar pressure distribution. For this 10 elite badminton players with over 10 years experience and right handed participated. Two kinds of badminton shoes were selected and tested mechanical testing for the forefoot flexibility. Motion analysis, ground reaction forces and plantar pressure distribution were recorded. It was required to conduct lunge movement after jumping smashing as possible as high. Photo sensor was located in 3 meter away from standing position and its height was 40 cm. Subjects were conducted to return original position after touching the sensor as under clear movement as possible as fast. Forefoot stiffness had an effect on shoe peak bending degree and peak bending angular velocity in propulsion phase. Forefoot flexibility had an effect on ankle plantar flexion and knee flexion moment. It appears that joint power on lower limb and peak plantar pressure were not influenced by the flexibility of shoes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between functional movement screen (FMS) and ankle dysfunctions in subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study of 20 participants with CAI. The ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI), center of pressure (COP) path length, and COP velocity for ankle dysfunction were measured in all the subjects. All the subjects underwent the FMS concerned with ankle functions consisted of deep squats, hurdle steps and in-line lunges. The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient was used to determine relationship between the ankle ROM, FADI, COP and FMS. Results: The results of the deep squat and in-line lunge exercises revealed a significant correlation with the ankle dorsiflexion ROM, FADI, COP path length, and COP velocity. The hurdle step showed no correlation with the ankle dorsiflexion ROM and FADI but a significant relationship with the COP path length and COP velocity. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that relationship deep squat and in-line lunge and it is suggested that an assessment tool using ankle dorsiflexion ROM and ankle instability would be clinically effective.
