A Comparison Of Teres Minor And Infraspinatus Muscle Activation In The Prone Position, Masaaki Tsuruike, Todd S. Ellenbecker
A Comparison Of Teres Minor And Infraspinatus Muscle Activation In The Prone Position, Masaaki Tsuruike, Todd S. Ellenbecker
Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity
Background
The electromyography (EMG) activity of the teres minor (TMi) and infraspinatus (IS) muscle has been demonstrated to vary depending on the arm position, such as in the coronal or scapular position, during intervention exercises. This may be reflected by different EMG activities demonstrated between the TMi and IS muscle during the acceleration and deceleration phases of the pitching motion. Tenderness in the scapular attachment site of the TMi muscle is often seen in baseball pitchers after pitching but not the attachment site of the IS muscle. However, few studies have investigated an interaction between TMi and IS muscle activity …
Electromyography Activity Of The Teres Minor Muscle With Varying Positions Of Horizontal Abduction In The Quadruped Position, Masaaki Tsuruike, Todd S. Ellenbecker, Connor Lauffenburger
Electromyography Activity Of The Teres Minor Muscle With Varying Positions Of Horizontal Abduction In The Quadruped Position, Masaaki Tsuruike, Todd S. Ellenbecker, Connor Lauffenburger
Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity
Background
The teres minor (TMi) muscle exposed relatively high activity during the acceleration and deceleration phases of the throwing motion, compared with the infraspinatus muscle. However, few studies have identified TMi muscle activity in intervention exercises. The purpose of this study was to investigate TMi muscle activities in different horizontal adduction positions in the quadruped horizontal abduction exercise. This study hypothesized that TMi muscle activity would differ in response to resistance application across different horizontal adduction positions.
Materials and methods
Nineteen collegiate baseball players volunteered their participation. Raw electromyography activity of the TMi muscle along with 7 different muscles attached …
Comparing Knee Joint Mechanics Across Phases Of The Menstrual Cycle, Bethany Kilpatrick
Comparing Knee Joint Mechanics Across Phases Of The Menstrual Cycle, Bethany Kilpatrick
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most commonly occurring knee injury. Compared to men in the same sports, females are two to eight times at higher risk for ACL injury. Research suggests that hormone fluctuations across the menstrual cycle (MC) play a crucial role in ACL injuries due to their effect on tendons and ligament's mechanical properties. PURPOSE: To examine knee joint laxity during dynamic movements across three-time points of the MC. METHODS: Seven young, healthy females with regular MCs performed three jump-landing tasks (double leg depth jump, single-leg lateral jump, and single-leg forward jump) across the early-follicular, …

Ya Ching Hung EdD. and Aryeh Spingarn EP-C, CSCS, EIM-Level 2 Queens College, City University of New York Department of Family, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences, Changes in Reach to Eat Movement Control After Intensive Training for Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy. Purpose: The current study compares the effects of an intervention on children with Congenital Hemiplegia during a simple eating task using kinematic analyses. Previous studies looked at simple bimanual tasks such as opening a drawer; no studies examined the effects of intensive training on unimanual reach, grasp, and eat movement control. Methods: 20 children with Unilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy …
