(s
upine) is an exercise which increases muscular
strength of the hip extensors and promotes
trunk stability. When performed correctly, a
bridge exercise can help promote better posture,

1. It is often prescribed for patients with back


pain , and increases the activities of trunk
stabilization muscles such as the
internal oblique, external oblique, and
erector spinae muscles.[1]
2. Individuals with back and hip pathologies
are often taught to perform the bridging
exercise in the crook-lying position,
elevating the pelvis off the floor. This
exercise is particularly useful for
facilitating pelvic motions and
strengthening the low back and hip
extensors, and it enhances motor control of
the lumbo-pelvic region.[2]

Technique: The patient lies down with the

back, knees in full flexion and feet flat on the
floor and close to the buttock. Then the patient
lifts hip off the floor towards the ceiling/sky as
high as possible.

Analysis

The movement analysis of bridging / pelvic


bridging reveals the movement comprises of :
Hip Extension; Lumbar extension; and Posterior
Pelvic tilt.

It is a closed chain exercise

Variations

The term bridge exercise sometimes includes the


prone bridge (plank) and side bridge (side plank)
[5]

The supine bridging exercise variations include:

1. With pelvic tilt

2. With straight leg raising (SLR)

3. With SLR and Glutei contraction

Core Activation

Bridge on unstable surface

Prone bridge

The bridging exercise is an effective way to


improve core strength eg clients with LBP,

Different kinds of bridging exercises has


been evaluated, the authors concluding
that bridging exercise in the prone
position (plank) may be a more effective
method of enhancing trunk muscle
activities.[6]

A study by Jeong-Oh Yoon et al, found that


bridging exercise on unstable surface
or with single leg lift hip abduction
facilitated the muscles activity of internal
oblique and rectus abdominis. While no
significant increase was found in back
muscles multifidus and erector spinae.
Internal oblique muscles is connected
indirectly to the lumbar spine through the
thoracolumbar fascia, so its activation
increases the stiffness of the lumbar spine.
It should be noted that, rectus abdominis
muscle activity increase on the same side of
the lifted leg. (Right single leg lift bridging
exercise increased right rectus abdominis
activity).[7]
A study by Chan-Myeong Kim et al, found
that External oblique and erector spinae
muscles activity increased with hip
inversion 25 degrees while gluteus
maximus muscle increased activity in 25
rotation.[8]
degrees hip external rotation
Performing the bridging exercise on
unstable surface increases the muscles
activity of the deep abdominal muscles
(transverse abdominis and internal
oblique) compared to on stable surface.[9]
Some points that could enhance the
exercise include performing the abdominal
draw in maneuver before the bridging
exercise to prevent excessive lumbar
lordosis. Also maximum expiration which
was found to increase the abdominal
muscles activity compared to resting
expiration during side bridge exercise.[10][11]
