Human Movement Sciences & Special Education Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine EMG activity of the hip stabilizers, thigh, and core muscles during various squatting exercises in order to better appreciate the contribution of the core and thigh during weight bearing functional activity. Surface EMG electrodes were placed over the rectus abdominis (RA), internal oblique (IO), external oblique (EO), erector spinae (ES), vastus medialis (VM), biceps femoris (BF), and gluteus medius (GM). The right leg was used for any single leg exercises perforn1ed. Each subject performed three double leg and three single leg un-weighted squats to 60 degrees of knee flexion on a stable …
