ABSTRACT

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of triceps surae activation during heel raise test in standing among knee flexion angles(0°, 30°, 45°,60°). Methods : Twenty healthy individuals performed unilateral plantarflexion in standing with 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° knee flexion. Activity of medial gastrocnemius(MG), lateral gastrocnemius(LG), soleus(Sol) was recorded with surface electromyography(EMG). Result : The muscle activations induced the four different positions were compared and results showed that was significant difference MG and LG while the angle increase from 0° to 30°, 45°, 60° but Sol did not show significant differences in every angle. Conclusion : This study suggest that 30° knee flexion is required to induce a significant mechanical disadvantage of gastrocnemius.
