Filter by:Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is defined as low back pain lasting longer than three months. CLBP is one of the most common and expensive diseases in terms of both labour loss and treatment costs, and it is very important to treat it with conventional (non-surgical) treatment methods. Clinical guidelines recommend active treatments that address psychosocial factors and focus on functional improvement. Within this approach, low back protection training, called low back school, is recognised as an effective and economical method. This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of lumbar school training or core stabilisation exercises on pain, mobilisation and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. In this research, patients coming to Seydişehir State Hospital physiotherapy unit will be included in the study. Patients will be taken in Seydişehir Vocational School of Health Services Vocational School vocational skills laboratory and Seydişehir State Hospital physiotherapy unit. As a result of the power analysis, 64 patients are planned to be included. Simple randomisation will be used. Sealed opaque envelopes will be prepared by the research team. Opaque envelopes will be determined as 32 (core exercise group) and 32 (B) (lumbar school). The pain intensity of the patients will be determined by the Visual Analogue Scale, which is a self-report scale, and the functional disability levels will be determined by the Oswestry Disability Index and the quality of life levels will be determined by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Module (WHOQOL-BREF) and spinal mobility will be determined by measuring the hand-finger ground distance. Patients will be divided into two groups as core exercise group and lumbar school training group and will be evaluated before and after treatment and training.

Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a battery used for injury prediction, identifying asymmetry and weak connections in basic functional movement patterns. The muscles assessed in FMS are also respiratory muscles. Therefore, FMS scores were thought to be related to respiratory muscle strength. The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between Functional Movement Screen and respiratory muscles strength in professional football players and sedentary individuals.
The study is randomized and single blinded.Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah international university, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A and group B through sealed envelope method by non probability convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in group A will receive aquatic exercises. Group B will receive core strengthening.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular joint problems, head posture, tongue strength, and endurance with core stabilization.
Evaluation of healthy young adults regarding balance, core strength/core stability and physical fitness. Correlation of primary outcome parameters and selected secondary parameters.
Core stability is an important component maximising efficient athletic function. Function is most often produced by the kinetic chain, the coordinate sequenced activation of body segments that places the distal segment in the optimum position at the optimum velocity with the optimum timing to produce the desired athletic task. Speed and power are critical performance factors in football. Football including jumping, kicking, tackling, turning, sprinting, changing pace, and sustaining forceful contractions to maintain balance and control of the ball against defensive pressure. In the literature, no study has demonstrated the effectiveness of core stability exercise program in adolescent football players.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercise program on adolescent male football players.
Forty-two adolescent female volleyball athletes (16.0±1.4 years) were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 was the training group and, in addition to the routine volleyball training programmes, underwent an 8-week (3 days/week) progressive core stability training programme. Group 2 was the control group and only did routine volleyball training, with no core stability training. Main outcome measures: Shoulder IR and ER strength, medicine ball throw (MBT), modified push up (MPU) and closed kinetic chain (CKC) upper extremity stability tests were used to evaluate physical performance.
This study was planned to examine the effects of Pilates training in Parkinson's Patients. The study included 34 Parkinson's patients between Hoehn & Yahr Stage 1-2.5. Pilates training was applied to the Pilates group for 8 weeks, 3 days per week. To the control group; Breathing exercises, active range of motion exercises and relaxation exercises were given as a home program 3 days per week for 8 weeks. It was concluded that Pilates training performed to Parkinson's patients 3 times a week for 8 weeks was effective on "core" stability, thickness of "core" muscles, functional exercise capacity, motor functions, freezing, fatigue and QOL.
Forty children with cerebellar ataxia ranged in age from five to nine years old, they were randomly assigned into two matched control and study groups. The control groups received the selected physical therapy program three times weekly one hour per session while the study group received core stability training for 30 minutes in addition to the selected physical therapy program. Both groups were evaluated by SARA Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia, Balance Error Scoring Systems scale, Bruininks-Oseretsky test of motor Proficiency 2ed subtest 4 (bilateral coordination), and subtest 7 (upper limb coordination), and HUMAC Balance System before and after two months of intervention.
Core stability strength & coordination is necessary to perform smooth & coordinated upper & lower extremity movements & function. Altered core stability muscle strength, coordination & poor motor control can cause low back pain (LBP). Physical therapists especially those working with children having neurodevelopmental problems or adults with neurological disorders such as stroke are aware of the concepts of global movements. In this concept, alterations in one body segment may bring changes in other body segments. In neurological rehabilitation, the concept of Neuro-Developmental Technique (NDT) introduced by Bobath got worldwide recognition. This concept states that there are specific key points in the neck, & shoulders that can facilitate normal movements by enhancing the activity of core musculature in functional movements for instance, sit to stand & walking. This concept was further explored by Burnstein and suggested that biomechanically body joints and motor control works together as functional unit and not as single limb movement. Bobath and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) concepts further explained that movements of the eye, head and neck facilitate trunk movements. Electromyography studies have shown that both single and rhythmical jaw opening and closing movements not only produced well-coordinated jaw and head-neck movements but also produced atlanto-occipital and cervical spine joints movements. The author further concluded that mouth opening and closing in fetal yawning is associated with head extension-flexion movements indicating that functional connections between the jaw and head-neck is innate. A human jaw or masticatory system is connected to the motor system through cranial nerves unlike central motor system which is connected to the body through spinal motor system. Brainstem central pattern generator (CPG) control masticatory system through descending pathways and are involved in voluntary movements of the jaw such as mouth opening and closing. The higher brain centers cortical masticatory area and primary motor cortex control these movements. In the current back pain literature core stability exercises have been used in the management of chronic low back pain. The jaw is connected to the head-neck and neck is connected to the trunk. Therefore there is to study the effects of core stability exercises performed with and without jaw movements in the management of chronic low back pain.
