Comparison of EMG activity of UT and SCM muscle according to neck flexion angle
(Unit: %MVIC)
NP | NF15° | NF45° | F | p | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
UT | 2.70±1.30 | 4.72±3.92 |
6.22±5.06 |
13.64 | <0.001 |
SCM | 2.88±1.36 | 5.30±4.44 |
8.47±6.33 |
9.88 | 0.001 |
Values represent Mean±SD. NP: neutral position, NF15°: neck flexion 15°, NF45°: neck flexion 45°, UT: upper trapezius, SCM: sternocleidomastoid. *p<0.05,
†There is a significant difference compared to NP, ‡There is a significant difference compared to NF15°.
