7 365 Electromyographic Analysis of the Erector Spinae and Lower Limb Muscles during Handling of Objects on Low Surfaces from a Standing Position Kazuo MARUTA and Susumu WATANABE (Accepted Nov. 30, 2004) Key words : erector spinae, electromyography, angle of forward trunk inclination, handling objects on low surfaces while standing, Japanese life style Abstract The traditional Japanese life style includes tatami rooms in the home. Such rooms contain low surfaces and when objects are handled while standing, the angle of forward trunk inclination (AFI) is increased. It has been postulated that this increases stress on the joint and bone system of the spine. No studies have been done on the effects of AFI on the muscular activity of the erector spinae (ES) and the gluteus maximus and quadriceps of the lower limb (LM). This study was designed to compare differences between the knee flexed (KF) and knee extended positions (KE) on the muscular activity of the ES and LM when handling objects on low surfaces while standing. Ten healthy male subjects aged 19 to 27 years, mean age 20.4 ± 2.4 years old participated in the study. Simulatious of handling objects on low surface were done with angles of 30 ffi,60 ffi,90 ffi. The AFI and knee joint angle were analyzed using a two-dimensional movement analysis system. The electromyography (EMG) of the ES and LM were measured, the raw data rectified, and the integrated EMG normalized relative tovalues obtained for maximum voluntary contractions (%MVC). The results showed that the %MVC of ES with an AFI of 30 ffi was significantly larger than that 90 ffi for both KE and KF. The %MVC of the ES at 60 ffi was significantly larger for KE than KF. No significant differences were found in the muscular activity of LM.
