Change of erector spinae muscles activity of physical therapist according to posture in the treatment of children with disabilities

To evaluate the waist muscle activity changes depending on the distance of the child with disabilities and physical therapist. Method: we were classified in physical therapist treatment posture when the child with disabilities lying down, sitting, and standing. And classified posture measured the erector spinae muscle activity. The muscle activity was analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results: The average of right erector spinae muscle activity is, Lying=48.82 ± 9.95 %, Sitting=39.01 ± 8.73 %, was a Standing=29.54 ± 6.90 %(p<.05). The average of left erector spinae muscle activity is, Lying=47.85 ± 8.85 %, Sitting=39.74 ± 8.68 %, was a Standing=30.50 ± 7.84 %(p<.05). Conclusion: In order to improve the working environment of physical therapists need to devise a way to increase the height of the treatment units.
