Introduction, Investigates the influcene of knee flexion

angles on joint force and muscle force

during bridging exercises through MSK
simulation. The research estimates muscle
and joint forces of the lumbar spine, hip
joint at a knee angle flexed 60/90/120’.
why is it important, Understanding the effects of knee
flexion angles on joint force and muscle force during
the bridging exercise is crucial for optimizing exercise
protocols and rehabilitation programs targeting the
lumbar spine and hip joint. The study by Takeshita et
al. (2022) provides insights into how variations in knee
flexion angles can impact joint and muscle loading
during the bridging exercise. By analyzing muscle and
joint forces at different knee flexion angles, researchers
and clinicians can tailor exercise regimens to enhance
the effectiveness of the bridging exercise, ultimately
improving outcomes for individuals undergoing
rehabilitation or seeking to strengthen their lumbar
spine and hip joint. Specifically, the study found that
the hip joint force, muscle force of the gluteus
maximus, and adductor magnus tended to increase as
the angle of the knee joint increased
the purpose of the study, to utilize a musculoskeletal model simulation to
examine joint and muscle forces during the bridging
exercise at three different knee joint angle positions. By
investigating how knee flexion angles impact joint
force and muscle force during the bridging exercise,
this research aims to provide valuable insights into the
biomechanics of the exercise. Understanding the
variations in joint and muscle loading at different knee
flexion angles can help optimize the bridging exercise
protocol, potentially enhancing its effectiveness in
strengthening the lumbar spine and hip joint, and
guiding rehabilitation programs targeted at these areas.
we hypothesize that, Varying knee flexion angles during bridging
lead to changes in joint force and muscle
force distribution. It hypothesizes
increasing knee flexion during bridging will
alter distribution of forces across the
lumbar spine and hip joint, impacting
muscle activation patterns and joint
loading.

Methods-
Demographic- subjects, recruitment,
inclusion/exclusion criteria
Where did it take place?
Sample population of 558 consecutive
patients, 293 with fibromyalgia and 265
control patients. Selection occurrent with
fibromyaligia patients and a control group.

Independent variable The knee flexion angle 60/90/120.

Dependent variabele- pain experienced by the The dependent variables are the resultant joint forces,
which were measured at 274.4 ± 63.7% BW, 303.9 ±
participants 85.8% BW, and 341.1 ± 85.7% BW for knee flexion
angles of 60°, 90°, and 120°, respectively.
How did data get collected
Camera position utilized motion capture technology to estimate the
muscle and joint forces of the lumbar spine and hip
joint during the bridging exercise at knee flexion angles
of 60°, 90°, and 120°
 Goals-
STG to investigate the immediate impact of different knee
flexion angles on joint force and muscle force during
the bridging exercise.
This short-term goal focuses on understanding the
biomechanical effects of varying knee flexion angles
on the lumbar joints and musculature during the
specific exercise regimen.
LTG research may aim to provide insights that can inform
exercise guidelines or recommendations for individuals
seeking to improve their musculoskeletal health in the
long run. This long-term goal aligns with the
overarching objective of advancing understanding in
the field of biomechanics and exercise science to
promote optimal health outcomes.
