the subjective of this study was to explore and compare the effects of whole body vibration (wbv) and conventional spinal stabilization exercises on persons with non-specific chronic low back pain (clbp). thirty patients with non-specific chronic low back pain randomly received 6 sessions of spinal stabilization therapy with and without whole body vibration over 2 weeks. the severity of pain, f...

BACKGROUND Programs designed to prevent or rehabilitate athletic injuries or improve athletic performance frequently focus on core stability. This approach is based upon the theory that poor core stability increases the risk of poor performance and/or injury. Despite the widespread use of core stability training amongst athletes, the question of whether or not sufficient evidence exists to supp...

BACKGROUND Poor core stability is linked to a range of musculoskeletal pathologies and core-strengthening programmes are widely used as treatment. Treatment outcomes, however, are highly variable, which may be related to the method of delivery of core strengthening programmes. We investigated the effect of identical 8 week core strengthening programmes delivered as either supervised or home-bas...

The modiclus, a relative of the prenucleolus, assigns a singleton to any cooperative TU game. We show that the modiclus selects a member of the core for any exact orthogonal game and for any assignment game that has a stable core. Moreover, by means of an example we show that there is an exact TU game with a stable core that does not contain the modiclus.

Background. Low back pain is a significant issue in the field of health. Therefore, addressing new therapeutic approaches seems necessary. Objectives. The present study examined the effect of combining core stability with stretching exercises on pain intensity and motor function in people with chronic nonspecific low back pain with and without hyperlordosis. Methods. The research method was q...
