Abstract(s)
O objectivo deste estudo foi analisar a influência das sapatilhas MBT na actividade electromiográfica dos músculos tibial anterior (TA) e gastrocnémio medial (GM), no equilíbrio estático, a curto e longo prazo. Foi recolhido o sinal electromiográfico de 30 indivíduos em dois momentos distintos, com 8 semanas de intervalo entre eles. Cada momento consistiu em três ensaios de equilíbrio estático descalço e três com sapatilhas MBT. As variáveis em estudo aumentaram a curto prazo com o calçado MBT. A longo prazo não se verificaram diferenças significativas. Os resultados confirmam que as sapatilhas MBT aumentam a actividade muscular do GM, no equilíbrio estático.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of MBT shoes in the electromyographic activity of tibialis anterior (TA) and medial gastrocnemius (GM), during quiet standing in the short and long term. Electromyographic signal was collected from 30 individuals at two different times, with 8 weeks between them. Each time consisted of three tests of static balance barefoot and three with MBT shoes. The muscle activity have increased in the short term with the MBT shoes. In the long term there were no significant differences. The results confirm that the MBT shoes increase muscle activity of GM in static equilibrium.
