Title of the Congress :	8th Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back & Pelvic Pain
Title of your Abstract :	NORMAL ANTICIPATORY ACTIVITY OF TRUNK MUSCLES DURING UNILATERAL LIMB MOVEMENT
country :	united arabic emirates
From :	Sunday, October 27, 2013
To :	Wednesday, October 30, 2013
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) :	Introduction Previous studies demonstrated controversies regarding normal anticipatory activity of Transversus Abdominis. It will not be possible to prescribe an appropriate exercise for patients who suffer from chronic low back pain (CLBP) unless the normal activation pattern of the trunk muscles in healthy subjects becomes clear. There are, also, limited studies concerning bilateral activation of trunk muscles during a self-induced perturbation. Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate bilateral anticipatory activity of trunk muscles during unilateral arm flexion. Materials and Methods 18 healthy subjects (13 women and 5 men) participated in this study. They were asked to raise their right arm as fast as possible in response to a visual stimulus and 10 repetitions of rapid arm flexion were recorded. The electromyographic activity of the right Anterior Deltoid (AD) and bilateral trunk muscles including Transversus Abdominis/Obliquus Internus (TA/OI), Superficial Lumbar Multifidus (SLM) and Lumbar Erector Spinae (LES) was recorded. The onset latency of the recorded trunk muscles was calculated. Results The first muscle activated in anticipation of the right arm flexion was the left TA/OI. The right TA/OI activated significantly later than all other trunk muscles (P<0.001). The anticipatory activation of the SLM and LES muscle groups was observed during rapid arm flexion. There was no significant difference in onset latency among other trunk muscles (P>0.05). Conclusions Healthy subjects did not show bilateral co-activation of TA/OI in anticipation of unilateral arm elevation. The SLM and LES muscle groups did not show any bilateral differences in onset latency during rapid arm flexion. Further investigations are required to evaluate normal muscle activation pattern in other functional tasks in healthy subjects prior to prescribing bilateral activation training of Transversus Abdominis for patients with CLBP.

Delegates from which countries presented in the congress? :	USA, Australia, Africa, China, Hong-kong, Iran, Holland
Were the delegates of any other organizations present in the congress? :	No
If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box :
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? :	There happened a nice conversation and in depth discussion about some of my findings specially thats regarding to assymetric synergistic pattern of trunk muscle activation in response to rapid arm raise in the sagittal plane.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. :	Andrew Vileeming (President) Paul Hodges Van Deelen Marshal Braumang Scientific commitee & Key note speakers
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress :	At the site of the congress we asked some of the lecturers if they could come to our country to contribute to a three-four days workshop with our colleagues so that we can share our clinical and research experiences. I would be so pleased if you could help me to invite them in the near future to our country.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) :	Every thing was OK becuase the process was already checked.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: :	As this international multidisciplinary low back pain congress is held every four years, It was a good opportunity for me to participate as a presenter in a neighbor country (United Arabic Emirates). Meanwhile, I could share my research findings in a friendly, scientific atmosphere with other researchers coming from overseas. It was so interesting to me and my colleagues that our topics were to some extent novel and creative so that there was a significant attraction towards our findings besides an in depth discussion regarding concepts.
