This study investigated the effects of cervical stabilization and breathing retraining exercises to improve respiratory function in elderly stroke patients.Forty-five subjects were randomly allocated to three groups (each group, n=15). The exercise was performed five times a week for 6 weeks after general characteristics were confirmed. Experimental group1 performed cervical stabilization and r...

Dynamic activities such as running, cycling, and swimming have been shown to effectively reduce lactate in the postexercise period. It is unknown whether core stabilization exercises performed following an intense bout would exhibit a similar effect. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the extent of the lactate response with core stabilization exercises following high-intensity anaerob...

Background: Stabilization exercises can improve the performance of trunk and back muscles, which are effective in the prevention and treatment of low back pain. The four-point kneeling exercise is one of the most common types of stabilization exercises. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate and compare the level of activation between abdominal and lumbar muscles in the different stage...

Abdominal bracing is often adopted in fitness and sports conditioning programs. However, there is little information on how muscular activities during the task differ among the muscle groups located in the trunk and from those during other trunk exercises. The present study aimed to quantify muscular activity levels during abdominal bracing with respect to muscle- and exercise-related differenc...

Pilates and resistance exercises are used for lumbar stabilization training. However, it is unclear which exercise is more effective for lumbar stabilization. In our study, we aimed to compare surface muscle activity and deep muscle thickness during relaxation and spinal stabilization exercise in experienced Pilates and resistance exercise instructors. This study is a retrospective case control...

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...

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...

BACKGROUND Evidence is lacking concerning the effect of additional trunk rehabilitation on gait performance. Investigating gait performance by both clinical and biomechanical outcome measures might lead to new scientific insights into the importance of the trunk during gait rehabilitation in people suffering from stroke. This protocol was written according to the SPIRIT 2013 Statement. METHOD...

Postural problems can occur in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Regular exercise is recommended CF management. Core stabilization exercises have a positive impact on muscle strength and physical fitness different populations. The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects core protocol posture CF. Sixteen children with were included study. Patients randomly allocated either group (N = 8) or co...
