Abstract

INTRODUCTION Deficiencies in movement patterns and motor regulation play a major role in the development of musculoskeletal dysfunctions, especially in the peripheral locomotive system [1]. Studies suggested that low back disorders are associated with muscle imbalance [2-4] and currently, emphasis has been placed on the importance of achieving coordinated activity between all muscles within a balanced muscular system for the prevention and treatment of low back pain [3]. Changes in activation patterns of hip extensors and pelvic stabilizing muscles are recognized as factors that cause low back disorders. These disturbances could have an impact on physiological loading and alter the direction and magnitude of joint reaction forces [4]. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate muscular recruitment patterns of the gluteus maximus, semitendinosus and erector spinae muscles with healthy young individuals during four different modalities of therapeutic exercises.
