Trunk muscle activation and cocontraction while resisting applied moments in a twisted posture / Steven A. Lavender, Yang-Hwei Tsuang and Gunnar B.J. Andersson
Sumario: Previous studies of twisting have revealed substantial cocontraction of agonist and antagonist muscles within the torso when torsional moments are generated. The objective of the current study was to quantify the activations and cocontraction of eight trunk muscles as subjects maintained an axially rotated trunk posture and resisted external applied bending moments
