BackgroundThe relationship between contraction strength of the flexor-pronator muscles (FPMs) and elbow valgus braking function has not been clarified.Hypothesis/PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate changes in medial elbow joint space when there is a difference in contraction strength of FPMs under elbow valgus stress.MethodsSubjects were 20 healthy male university students, and the elbow joint on the nondominant hand side was used for measurements. The body position for limb measurement was sitting in a chair, with the shoulder abducted 60° and in 90° of external rotation, with 90° of elbow flexion. At first, maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the FPMs by grip motion was measured using a hand grip dynamometer under 60-N valgus stress. Contraction strengths of 10% MVC, 30% MVC, and 50% MVC were used. Ultrasonographic images of the medial elbow joint space (JS) were taken in the starting limb position. Using the Telos device system, load was then gradually increased by +10 N/s, and at the time of 60-N valgus stress, an image of the JS was taken. Furthermore, the subject adjusted to the set contraction strength (for about 5 sec) with 60-N valgus stress applied, and an image of the JS was taken while maintaining the set contraction strength. Each MVC condition (10% MVC, 30% MVC, and 50% MVC) was performed randomly. Three ultrasonographic images were taken within 10 seconds, and the average value of the three images was adopted as the JS.ResultsCompared with the JS under 60-N valgus stress, the JS was significantly reduced under 60-N valgus stress + 50% MVC. No significant difference was observed between the starting limb position and 60-N valgus stress + 50% MVC.ConclusionFPMs may require muscle activity ≥50% MVC to brake 60-N elbow valgus stress.
