7 469 Influence of Pelvic Tilt to Erector Spinae and Rectus Abdominis Muscle Activities during the Forward Trunk Inclination while Sitting Kazuo MARUTA, Atsuko EGUCHI and Susumu WATANABE (Accepted Dec. 10, 2005) Key words : pelvic tilt, sitting, erector spinae, rectus abdominis, forward trunk inclination Abstract The purpose of this study was to clarify the influence of pelvic tilt on erector spinae (ES) and rectus abdominis (RA) muscle activities during the motion of forward trunk inclination (FTI) while sitting. Eleven healthy male subjects (aged 20 to 21 years, mean age 20.5 ± 0.5 years old) participated in this study. Three pelvic tilt positions, forward, middle, and backward were selected. Each subject maximally inclined forward the trunk until both hands reach the floor from the erect position, and returned to the initial position. We compared the motion of FTI under three pelvic tilt positions. The angles of FTI and pelvic tilt, and the activities of ES and RA were measured continuously using an electromyogram (EMG) with a motion picture synchronized analysis system. The EMG raw data were rectified, and the integrated EMG was normalized relative to values obtained during maximum voluntary contractions (%MVC). The data of Maximum FTI were used for an analysis. The results showed that the value of the angle of pelvic tilt significantly increased the following tilt position orders; forward, middle and backward. The value of the %MVC of ES significantly decreased by tilt position in the order forward, middle, and backward. No significant difference among all groups was observed in the %MVC of RA. Since these results were brought about by the influence of flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP), it seems to be important to keep the middle pelvic tilt position, which makes the lumbar spine flat, in activities of daily living (ADL) in order to decrease the stress on the bone and joint system of the lumbar spine.
