Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, subjects moved from a sitting to a standing position with normal, horizontal, 30° upward, and 45° upward lines of vision, and their muscle activity, feeling of burden on the legs, sense of stability, required time, and acromion movement were elucidated. In a normal standing motion, the acromion moved forward significantly and muscle activity in the lumbar region was high. When subjects’ line of vision was fixed, the burden on the lumbar region decreased and was replaced by higher activity in the anterior leg muscles. By fixing the line of vision, subjects had decreased flexion of the lumbar region and stood using the anterior leg muscles. This phenomenon is potentially useful when assisting patients with strong lumbar pain. However, there are situations when stability is lacking with a 45° upward line of vision, and caution at such times is warranted.
