Pilot Study: Different Leg Muscle Activation When Walking on Stable, Unstable & Slippery Floors
(Parameters Using Surface Electromyograph)
Abstract
Background: Muscle activation is the interaction of intracellular cell fluid and extracellular cell fluid that occurs in the cell membrane channel and can also be defined as the movement of muscle contraction and relaxation accompanied by changes in muscle fiber length. Objective: to determine differences in muscle activation in the legs (m. gastrocnemius, m. tibialis anterior, m. rectus femoris, m. biceps femoris longum, m. gluteus maximus) when walking in various floor/base conditions (stable, unstable, and smooth) using a Surface Electromyograph (sEMG). Research Methods: The research method used is Experimental Single Group Design where the researcher involves only 1 group / group consisting of 5 subjects. Results: The results of this study first used the repeat ANOVA test with scores obtained on unstable floor conditions (0.000), stable floor conditions (0.000) and slippery floor conditions (0.000). Conclusion: From the results of research that has been done, it can be concluded that there are differences in the activation of leg muscles when walking on a stable, unstable and slippery floor (Parameter Using Surface Electromyograph).
