Cervicogenic headache is gaining prevalence in young adults along with proprioception deficit in the cervical region. Methodology: In this study, 30 participants who met the diagnostic criteria for Cervicogenic headache were randomized into two groups: experimental group and control group. The control group was given stretching exercises. The experimental group in addition to stretching perform...

The purpose of the study was to identify the effects of neck stabilization exercises on neck and shoulder muscle activation in individuals with forward head posture. Twenty-five healthy adults participated in the study. All subjects performed neck stabilization exercises using three methods. The types of exercise included craniocervical flexion (CCF) exercise, upper extremity and lower extremit...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the preventive effects of stretching and stabilization exercises on muscle fatigue of the neck erector spine and upper trapezius muscles. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were 26 healthy university students (14 males and 12 females). Each subject was assigned randomly to each of three study groups in order to prevent order ...

Abstract Purpose: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD( identified via deficit of social communication, stereotyped movements and limited interactions. Postural instability is common in children with autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of this study is the effects of 8 weeks core stability training on trunk endurance in boys with autism spectrum disorder. Methods: The research subjects include ...

BACKGROUND Activation of the deep stabilizing trunk muscle transversus abdominis (TrA) is important for trunk stabilization and spine stability. Sling exercises are used for the activation of trunk muscles, therefore we determined the thickness of the TrA in a standardized sling exercise in comparison to rest and abdominal press. Furthermore we propose a standardized measurement method, which c...

Purpose: although proximal stability of the trunk is a prerequisite for balance and gait, to determine the role of trunk rehabilitation on trunk control, balance and gait in patients with chronic stroke is yet unknown. Method: fifteen subjects (post-stroke duration (3.53 ± 2.98) years) who had the ability to walk 10 meters independently with or without a walking aid; scoring ≤ 21 on Trunk Impai...

background: exercise is a widely prescribed treatment for chronic low back pain. the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks exercise on pain, disability and endurance of trunk flexor-extensor muscles in female with chronic idiopathic low back pain. methods: this clinical trial study has been done on 12 patients who referred to the arak city clinics. the function o...

This study is aimed to perform and compare maximal concentric isokinetic trunk extension and flexion torques and powers between high-level athletes and a control population. In addition, the ratio of isokinetic trunk extension and flexion torques was measured, and compared between groups. Eighteen high-level male athletes and 15 male nonathletes without low back pain were recruited. Subjects pe...
