Objective- We assessed the effect of change in core isometric strength and endurance on upper limb isometric strength in female athletes. Methods- In this experimental study, 32 female athletes aged 18-25 years were recruited based on the inclusion criteria. (17 cases in the experimental group and 15 cases in the control group). Before and after the core stabilization knockdown protocol, parti...

introduction: low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal complication. although there are many ways to treat low back pain, achieving a concise, simple, and compact method is required in today's industrial societies. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of six weeks selected core stabilization exercises on pain and functional disability in patients with nonspecific chronic...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of core stabilization exercises on low back pain and abdominal and back muscle endurance in patients with chronic low back pain caused by disc herniation. Methods: For this purpose, 30 male and female patients with chronic low back pain due to disc herniation (age =48.55 ± 3.35) were divided into experimental and control groups (...

purpose this study was performed to assess and compare the effects of pilates exercise on flexibility and lumbo-pelvic movement control between the pilates training and control groups. methods a randomized single-blinded controlled design was utilized in the study. forty healthy male and female volunteers (mean age 31.65±6.21 years) were randomly divided into pilates-based training (20 subjects...

STUDY DESIGN Test-retest design. OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine the intrarater (test-retest) reliability of the core stability related tests and to develop a reliable core stability assessment battery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Studies suggest that core stability exercises may improve function and decrease pain in patients with nonspecific low back pain (LBP). Reliable clinical tes...

background: als is the most devastating form of motor neuron disease, and the chance of survival is 3 to 5 years after the diagnosis is made. the pathogenesis of the disease is unknown. several upper and lower motor neuron symptoms such as weakness, gait bradykinesia, and muscle atrophy have been reported. the core muscles are considered to be the center of the functional kinetic chain due to t...
