Abstract
The Transverse abdominal muscle has considered to have a protective role during activity that challenges the integrity of the lumbar spine. The purpose of this study was to investigate ultrasonographyically determined changes in the thicknesses of the transverses abdominal and internal oblique muscles during different sitting condition. Subjects and procedures: Thirty normally developed children with age ranged from 8-10 years participated in this study. Muscle thicknesses of transverses abdominal and internal oblique muscles were assessed by the musculoskeletal ultrasonography in four different sitting condition including (a) sitting, (b) sitting with abdominal hollowing maneuver (AHM), (c) sitting with left hip flexion, and (d) sitting with AHM and left hip flexion. Results: Transverses abdominal and internal oblique muscle thicknesses were significantly differed between sitting condition, with significantly greater thickness between conditions from (a) to (d), In conclusion: It can be concluded that the condition of sitting with AHM and left hip flexion, should be chosen for maximal activation of deep abdominal muscles.
