In the last years, shoulder injuries have represented an increasing health problem in soccer players. The goalkeepers are more exposed to shoulder disorders than other field players. Injury prevention exercises for upper limbs were cited in few studies involving throwing athletes, but we know that goalkeepers need a specific program. The purpose of this study is to describe the development of a...

Purpose: The current study investigated the effect of an aquatic training program on balance in women with low back pain.  Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test and control group design. The study population included all patients with low back pain who referred to orthopedics s offices. In total, 30 women suffering from back pain were purposefully and volun...

BACKGROUND Prone, supine, and side position exercises are employed to enhance core stability. HYPOTHESIS Overall core muscle activity would be greater in prone position exercises compared with supine and side position exercises. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Eighteen men and women between 23 and 45 years of age served as subjects. Surface electrodes were positioned ove...

purpose: this research aimed to study the effect of 8 weeks core stability training on static balance of the children with down syndrome. methods: a total of 16 children with down syndrome from rehabilitation center of noor abad city were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups of control (n=8) and experimental (n=8). at the pretest and posttest, subjects’ static balances were evaluated by ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of core stability-enhancing exercises on the lower trunk and muscle activity of stroke patients. The control group (n = 10) underwent standard exercise therapy, while the experiment group (n =10) underwent both the core stability-enhancing exercise and standard exercise therapy simultaneously. The standard exercise therapy applied to the two ...

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 (...
