Treatment for mechanical lower back pain is a challenge in Western society, in which its occurrence can now be considered to have reached epidemic proportions. The origin of such pain and the factors that cause it to become chronic and recurrent remain poorly understood. Abnormalities in motor control and trunk muscle function have been found in individuals with chronic lumbar pain. Many studie...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of trunk stabilization exercise using a saing on the balance ability of patients with hemiplegia. [Subjects] Forty patients with hemiplegia resulting from stroke were divided into a sling exercise group (SEG, n=20) and a mat exercise group (MEG, n=20). [Methods] The SEG conducted the trunk stabilization exercise using a sling, and t...

Background. An ischemic stroke has long-term adverse effects on the physical, emotional, and social well-being of survivor, so it is very important to help patient regain independence lost functions as quickly efficiently possible. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability exercises can restore movement patterns in these patients by simulating central nervous system.
 The aim. To compare conventiona...

The purpose of this study was to clarify the acute effects of a single session of stretching exercises on vascular endothelial function and peripheral circulation in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study evaluated 32 patients (mean age, 66 ± 9 years) who received phase I cardiac rehabilitation after acute myocardial infarction. Five types of stretching exercises were performed o...

CONTEXT Enhancing core stability through exercise is common to musculoskeletal injury prevention programs. Definitive evidence demonstrating an association between core instability and injury is lacking; however, multifaceted prevention programs including core stabilization exercises appear to be effective at reducing lower extremity injury rates. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION PUBMED WAS SEARCHED FOR ...

Background: Trunk control is necessary to maintain the body position, ensure stabilization in change of perform activities daily living and for activity. At same time, it allows maintaining an upright posture, regulating weight transfer, controlled movement against gravity, controlling changing position balance function. In this study, was aimed examine effects core exercises on proprioception ...

System-based methods have been applied to assess trunk motor control in people with and without back pain, although the reliability of these methods has yet to be established. Therefore, the goal of this study was to quantify within- and between-day reliability using systems-based methods involving position and force tracking and stabilization tasks. Ten healthy subjects performed six tasks, in...

introduction: the old age is one of the vulnerable classes of people in every society. the most important issue concerning the improvement of health and quality of life of the old age deals with preservation of a high degree of their independence in physical activities and continuation of an active life. the present research aimed at comparing the effect of two types of physical activity in wat...
