WEEK 14- ARTICLE- THERAPY

I found the article interesting because the characteristics of the muscular activity of the internal oblique muscles during walking are different for both groups in patients with hip osteoarthritis and hip osteoarthritis, since there will always be a difference between healthy patients and those with some pathology or alteration since an osteoarthritis nowadays in young people and years ago they gave to older adults, and although it is true some pathologies or alterations can even give them a growing child and not only when this adult or older adult.

I found the article interesting as it revealed the importance of the left and right internal oblique muscles to improve trunk stability during walking in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip, since those patients with osteoarthritis of the hip may see their daily activities limited to a greater degree than patients in whom osteoarthritis affects other joints less, in addition to the pain produced and the loss of mobility.

The article is quite interesting. It tells us the importance of having healthy muscles, since they intervene in all the activities we do and I am interested in how a small complication in any of them can affect us so much and lead to other pathologies and affect us biomechanically. It is important to be able to understand its operation to be able to advise our future clients in the best way

After reading this article I understand that his study aims to determine the characteristics of left and right internal oblique muscle activities during walking in healthy individuals and patients with hip osteoarthritis, we should keep on mind that it is important to evaluate and treat from a whole-body as well as a local perspective. Because of the lack of information collected, I hope we can research at multiple institutions and collect more data, so we can increase the amount of data and know more about patients with hip osteoarthritis.

The article was interesting, as patients showed different results when performing both tests. An important point it gives us is that the age of onset is usually mainly between 40 to 50 years old and osteoarthritis of the hip is considered one of the representative diseases of the hip joint, the internal oblique muscle is the one that relieves the shearing force of the sacroiliac joint and helps in stabilizing the pelvis.

When performing physical therapy for osteoarthritis patients in a clinical setting, it is important to evaluate and treat from a whole body perspective in addition to the local. Among these, the trunk exists at the center of the body and is an important part that becomes the basis for movement.

At the end of the study, the results demonstrated increased activity in the left and right oblique muscles in healthy individuals during 50% of the gait phase of the gait cycle.

The article tells us that it is of utmost importance to adopt a local, whole-body perspective to evaluate and implement physical therapy in motor diseases. It should be noted that the trunk is the basis for the functioning of the limbs, since it gives it support and stability. Now, the internal oblique muscle is the one that relieves the load force and therefore gives stability to the pelvis. This stability is supported by the co-contraction of the right and left internal oblique muscles.

In order to determine the muscle activity and the co-contraction index of the internal oblique muscles in healthy patients with hip osteoarthritis during walking, the surface electromyogram analysis was used, which served to compare the characteristics of both groups. As a result, greater activity was demonstrated in the left and right oblique muscles in individuals with osteoarthritis, but there were no significant differences in the muscles of healthy adults.

I found the article interesting because the research was used to determine muscle activity and rate of contraction in the right and left internal oblique muscles when walking in healthy individuals and patients with hip osteoarthritis.

The age of onset is usually 40 to 50 years and hip osteoarthritis is considered one of the representative diseases of the hip joint, the internal oblique muscle that relieves the shear load force of the sacroiliac joint and contributes to stabilization of the pelvis.

However, excessive contraction can hinder joint movement, resulting in ineffective muscle function and increased energy consumption during exercise, as results were able to observe that the co-contraction rate of healthy individuals was significantly higher than that of healthy individuals. patients with osteoarthritis of the right or left hip and even during each phase of the gait cycle, their muscle activity levels were significantly higher than those of healthy individuals.

According to the article, the study that was carried out when performing physiotherapy for patients with osteoarthritis showed greater activity in the left and right oblique muscles in healthy individuals during 50% of the gait cycle phase, this also aimed to compare the characteristics of muscular activity characteristics of the internal oblique muscles when walking in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and healthy individuals. However, there was a characteristic difference between the two groups; however, the mean age of the healthy individuals was low and the effects of age cannot be excluded.

From the article of the week I could understand that thanks to the results of the study carried out, we can see the importance of the increase in ICC in both the left and right internal oblique muscles in a patient with osteoporosis of the hip, since this allows an improvement in the motor stability of the person during the march avoiding also that they can feel pain in the joints.

Having read the article, I can say that it was very informative and very interesting. For me, having the muscles in good shape is crucial, since they intervene in all the activities we do and it is interesting to me how a small complication in any of them can affect us so much and lead to other pathologies and affect us biomechanically. Being able to understand this and more is one of the things that prompted me to choose this career in order to spread this information.

I found the article very interesting, it tells us about some tests that were done and the importance of stimulating the internal oblique muscle since it helps a lot in the stability of the person.

In the tests there was a significant difference between a healthy person and another with hip atritis, since they lack muscular activity at this level of the joint, therefore there will be more difficulty in carrying out their activities.

To obtain good results based on the treatment, we not only have to treat the affected area but also in areas close to the aritculation, which, the patient may be compensating with other muscles, making him adapt inappropriate postures, which in the long run impair his quality of lifetime.

In the article we can see that if a patient can have hip osteopathy, it is also important to consider not only that segment but also the whole body in general. Since the alteration of the muscles of the hip joint also affects both the trunk and the sacrum producing pain, as it says in the article: "One pathology affects another pathology."

I also found very interesting that they used electromyographic signals to assess contraction of the right and left internal oblique muscles during gait.

As an interesting fact in Peru, hip osteoarthritis affects 30% of the population between 50 and 55 years of age.

I found the article interesting, because there is a significant difference between the patients who used the two tests, since they were used to determine the muscle activity of the right and left internal oblique muscles during walking in healthy people and patients with hip osteoarthritis.

In this study, the results showed greater activity in the left and right oblique muscles in healthy people during the gait cycle phase, whereas in patients with hip osteoarthritis it was significantly less than in healthy people.

When performing treatment, for patients with osteoarthritis it is important to evaluate and treat from a whole body perspective, and not just focus on the affected segment, as there may be muscle compensations in the body that prevent an improvement in treatment.

The article was interesting, as it aimed to determine the characteristics of the oblique muscles during the gait phase in healthy people and in patients with osteoarthritis.

Having as a result that the rate of co-contraction of patients with osteoarthritis of the hip was much lower than that of healthy individuals, so it is considered to increase the rate of co-contraction to improve the stability of the trunk when walking for patients with osteoarthritis.

The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of the muscle activity of the internal oblique muscles during gait in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and in healthy individuals. in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and in healthy individuals.

This article is very important because the results show that there is a clear difference between healthy individuals and patients with osteoarthritis, it will help us to have more clear the type of treatment and evaluation that we have to have with respect to patients with osteoarthritis of the hip either bilateral or unilateral.

I found the article very relevant and interesting

This article is very important because it tells us about the difference in the gait of a healthy person with a person who suffers from osteoarthritis through tests such as EMG and IEMG that are responsible for analyzing muscle electrical activity, in this article tells us about the importance to stimulate the internal oblique muscle because it will be necessary to maintain a good stability of a healthy person or with some deficiency

The week 14 article is very informative and explains to us about the surface electromyogram analysis to determine muscle activity where the results demonstrated increased activity in the left and right oblique muscles in individuals with osteoarthritis, but did not report significant differences from the muscles in healthy adults. Therefore, the result of the study is exclusively for patients with hip osteoarthritis.

My opinion from the 14th week article is that excessive contraction can make it difficult to move the joint and decrease muscle function. But a low contraction can destabilize the joint and the biomechanical force that protects the joint. Therefore the activity of the internal oblique muscles are very important.

Hip osteoarthritis is one of the common diseases of the hip joint.

The article is very important as it highlights the importance of increasing the rate of contraction of the internal oblique muscles in order to improve the stability of the trunk when walking in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip, in addition to comparing the characteristics of the muscular activity of the internal oblique muscles during walking in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and healthy individuals.

Where the results showed a higher activity in oblique muscles in healthy patients during 50% of the gait cycle phase.

About excessive contraction can make it difficult to move the joint while low contraction can destabilize the joint, decreasing the supply of biomechanical force, that protects the joint.

According to the article, the trunk is the fundamental base of the body, since from this it provides static and dynamic stability to the extremities.

On the other hand, we have the pathology in question, hip osteoarthrosis that usually appears in older adults, it is known that there is a relationship between the hip and the spine, thanks to this example we understand that when performing physiotherapy in patients with osteoarthritis it is important to evaluate and treat from a local whole-body perspective.

The objective of this study is to compare the characteristics of the activity of the internal oblique muscles during gait in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and healthy individuals.

So it was concluded that it is indeed necessary to activate these muscles, increase the rate of co-contraction for a good gait.

By reading the article I was able to understand how it is increasingly important to adopt a whole body perspective, as well as a local perspective when evaluating and implementing physical therapy in motor disease.

In relation to the pathology addressed, the trunk stands out, since it is an important base, from which the limbs work, and provides static stability, as well as dynamic stability, which allows movements.

By understanding the above, we can delve into the subject with the internal oblique muscle, which is found in the trunk, and whose function is to alleviate the shear load force of the sacroiliac joint and contributes to the stabilization of the pelvis. And this is where its important value is seen in people with hip osteoarthritis and how effective it can be to stimulate those muscles.

However, excessive contraction can hinder joint movement, resulting in inefficient muscle function and increased energy consumption during exercise. Conversely, low co-contraction can destabilize the joint, decreasing the supply of biomechanical force, which protects the joint.

And this is how I managed to understand the importance of increasing the CCI co-contraction index in the internal oblique muscles in order to improve the stability of the trunk when walking in patients with hip osteoarthritis.

The article was very informative and important for me, because it explains and confirms through a study the contraction and activity of the right and left internal muscles, as well as the biomechanics of the body during the gait cycle. It was shown that muscle activity in healthy elderly patients in a gait cycle reached 50%, while elderly patients with osteoarthritis of the hip had a lower contraction. In my opinion, thanks to this article, it confirms the importance of this muscle in a gait cycle and the connection that exists with the whole body when performing it, so that we as physiotherapists, it will be our obligation to evaluate the whole body of a patient and not only the affected part, because there may be muscular compensations which can further affect the joint.
