Experimental Brain Research, 1989
Our objective was to determine if caudal ventral respiratory group (VRG) expiratory (E) neurons that drive abdominal expiratory motoneurons in the lumbar cord respond to intercostal and lumbar nerve afferent stimulation. Results showed that 92% of medullary E-neurons that were antidromically activated from the upper lumbar cord reduced their activity ...

Relative efficiency of abdominal muscles in spine stability
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2008Using an iterative kinematics-driven nonlinear finite element model, relative efficiency of individual abdominal muscles in spinal stability in upright standing posture was investigated. Effect of load height on stability and muscle activities was also computed under different coactivity levels in abdominal muscles.

Validation of an Abdominal Muscle Strength Test With Dynamometry
The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2005Adequate abdominal strength prevents work- and sports-related injuries and stabilizes the spine for athletic activities. The double-leg-lowering maneuver (DLLM) is a popular test to assess abdominal strength because of its simplicity; however, its validity and reliability have not been studied thoroughly.

Rectus Abdominal Muscles Pulled by Coughing
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1972To the Editor.— While practicing in Yuma, Ariz, I have seen two patients in the last six months who presented with pulled rectus abdominal muscle insertions over the symphysis pubis. Careful questioning of both patients revealed no history of trauma, but both patients had experienced antecedent, prolonged paroxysms of coughing.

Proprioception of abdominal muscles during respiration
Neuroscience Translations, 19681. Deafferentation of the thoracic segments of the spinal cord causes a decrease in electrical activity of the abdominal muscles. A definite decrease in activity is observed after deafferentation of five segments. The increase in respiratory activity of the abdominal muscles which follows increased resistance to expiration is diminished or ...

Control of the lateral abdominal muscles during walking
Human Movement Science, 2012Transversus abdominis (TA), obliquus internus (OI), and obliquus externus (OE) are involved in multiple functions: breathing, control of trunk orientation, and stabilization of the pelvis and spine. How these functions are coordinated has received limited attention.

Testing procedures for abdominal muscles using the muscle dynamometer SD02
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2009The aim of this study was to compare two tests both frequently used for determination of the state of the lumbar spine muscle system during static and dynamic loads. The sit-up test is a commonly used terrain test, while the diaphragm test is a more exact laboratory procedure.

Muscle infarction involving muscles of abdominal and thoracic walls in diabetes
Diabetic Medicine, 2005AbstractAims This paper presents two cases of muscle infarction involving four major muscles of the anterior abdominal wall (case 1) and pectoralis major (case 2) in individuals with diabetes.Methods Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and creatine kinase (CK) were measured and Doppler ultrasound, an open muscle biopsy (case 1) and magnetic ...

Electrical muscle stimulation for deep stabilizing muscles in abdominal wall
2008 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008Low back pain is associated with dysfunction in recruitment of muscles in the lumbopelvic region. Effective rehabilitation requires preferential activation of deep stabilizing muscle groups. This study was carried out in order to quantify the response of deep stabilizing muscles (transverses abdominis) and superficial muscle in the abdominal wall ...
