The efficacy of core stability exercises versus conventional physiotherapy in lower back pain

Context: Practice guidelines recommend various types of general exercise and core stability exercises with electrotherapeutic modalities for chronic back pain but it remains the primary cause of absenteeism and disability. Chronic low back pain causes activity limitation in persons younger than 45 years. Core stability exercise is becoming increasingly popular for low back pain. Aims: To find out the effectiveness of core stability exercises on Pain and Disability in patients with chronic low back pain Settings and Design: A comparative study was done in the Physiotherapy OPD of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Hospital Jaipur. Methods and Material: 40 subjects suffering from low back pain as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. The subjects were divided into two Group A (core stability) and Group B (General exercises). Before the treatment session, the pain and disability of the patients in each group were assessed with the help of the VAS scale and ODI scale respectively. After 15 days they were again assessed and the improvement levels were calculated. Statistical analysis used: Paired t-test was used to analyze significant changes between pre-test & post-test measurements. Results: Statistical analysis made with the quantitative data revealed a statistically significant difference between the Core stability group & General exercises group on pain & disability level. Group A (core stability) improved in VAS and ODI compared to Group B (General exercises) with P values of 0.018 and 0.021 respectively. Conclusions: The findings reveal that core stability exercises are more effective than General exercises in chronic low back pain patients.

The Impact of Core Stability Exercises on Weight Loss and Body Composition among Obese Patients

Background: While the advantages of core stability exercises for overall fitness and injury prevention are well-established, further research is needed to understand their impact on weight reduction and body composition in the obese population. Hence, the present study aims to determine the effects of core stability exercises on weight loss, BMI and body composition measures among obese individuals. Methods: This pre-post intervention design involved adults aged 18-40 years with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² engaged in a supervised core stability exercise program for 12 weeks. The exercise sessions occurred thrice weekly, each lasting approximately 40 minutes. Results: After 12 weeks of intervention, a pre-post comparison was performed which revealed a significant mean difference (p<0.05) in all the outcome measures. The value of BMI was reduced to 27.53±2.56, weight to 75.25±3.34, BF% to 30.14±1.56 and WHR to 0.85±0.56. Conclusion: The study found that 12-week core stability exercises significantly decreased weight, BMI, BF%, and WHR in an obese group. The planned and focused nature of the exercises resulted in improved body composition and weight loss. Thus, these exercises in regular fitness routines can be an effective strategy for reducing obesity and enhancing overall health. Keywords: Body Fat, Body Mass Index, Exercises, Obesity.

Effects of Multimodal Physical Therapy on Pain, Disability, H-reflex, and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Parameters in Patients With Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Due to Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Preliminary Trial.

Background Lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR) due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a condition caused by mechanical compression of nerve roots. Various physical therapy interventions have been proposed for the conservative management of LSR due to LDH. However, the study of physical therapy interventions in a multimodal form is lacking. Additionally, the effect of physical therapy on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of the compressed nerve root has not been studied. This study aimed to investigate the effects of multimodal physical therapy (MPT) on pain, disability, soleus H-reflex, and DTI parameters of the compressed nerve root in patients with chronic unilateral LSR due to LDH. Methods A prospective preliminary pre-postclinical trial with a convenience sample was conducted. A total of 14 patients with chronic unilateral LSR due to paracentral L4-L5 or L5-S1 LDH were recruited for the study. Participants received a total of 18 sessions of a six-weekMPT program that consisted of electrophysical agents, manual therapy interventions, and core stability exercises. Electrophysical agents involved interferential current and hot pack. Manual therapy interventions included myofascial release, side posture positional distraction, passive spinal rotation mobilization, and high-velocity low-amplitude manipulation. Visual analog scale (VAS), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), soleus H-reflex amplitude, side-to-side amplitude (H/H) ratio, fractional anisotropy (FA), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the compressed nerve root were measured at baseline and post-intervention. Results There were significant improvements in VAS, RMDQ, H/H ratio, FA, and ADC of the compressed nerve root. Furthermore,significant improvement was found in the affected side compared with the contralateral side in H-reflex amplitude. Conclusions The observations of this preliminary trial suggest that MPT is a successful intervention in patients with chronic unilateral LSR due to LDH. Regarding DTI parameters of the compressed nerve root, FA increased and ADC decreased. Future studies with a control group, large sample sizes, and longer follow-up periods are needed.

The effectiveness of core stabilization and schroth exercise on pain reduction in adolescents with scoliosis

Background: Disorders of the spine, such as scoliosis, kyposis, and lordosis, are often complained about by many people. Currently, disorders of the spine are not only limited to adults and the elderly. They can also affect children and adolescents, where the prevalence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in the world ranges from 0.47% to 5.2%. The spine has a crucial role in human movement activities, playing a role as a support and enforcer of the body. In this regard, appropriate intervention for people with scoliosis is very important to be carried out. Objective: To find out how effective core stabilization and schroth exercise are at reducing pain in scoliosis in adolescents aged 13-15 years. Research Method: The type of research used is quasi-experimental research with a pre-test and post test two-group design. Results: After 4 weeks of intervention with a frequency of two times a week, there was a significant reduction in scoliosis pain in adolescents. Both models of exercise core stabilization and schroth exercise – are equally effective. Suggestion: The researcher is expected to expand this research by increasing the number of samples and extending the duration of the study.

Maitland Mobilization versus Core Stability Exercises in Management Chronic Nonspecific LBP

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the main causes that affect mechanical function in human bodies worldwide, 90% of the cases with non-specific LBP. Different options are available for the management of non-specific LBP. While Maitland mobilization and core stability exercises are usually utilized in clinical practice for managing Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain, there is now a lack of research examining their comparative effectiveness. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess and compare the efficiency of Maitland mobilization and core stability exercise as treatment modalities for adults suffering from chronic non-specific low back pain. Methods: A total of 36 Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) patients with ages 18 to 45 years were inducted and given their Informed consent. Subjects were allocated into two groups through simple random sampling. Group A (N=18) received central posterior-anterior vertebral mobilization while group B (N=18) received core stability exercises. Pain and functional disability were assessed using the Visual Analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) respectively. Pre & post-treatment scores were documented and compared to achieve the aim of this study. Results: T-test indicated that the results pre- and post-treatment were showed a statistically positive significant difference by applying Maitland mobilization technique with non-specific LBP to improve functional disability (ODI) and reduce pain intensity (VAS) with (p = 0.001), respectively. On the other hand, results for the application of core stability exercises in management NSLBP also showed positive signs in reducing VAS and improving ODI with (p= 0.001) respectively. The findings suggest that there was no statistically significant difference between the Maitland mobilization technique and core stability exercises in treating NSLBP for pain reduction with (p = 0.312) and improvement in ODI with (p = 0.055). For applying Maitland mobilization in NSLBP, Pearson correlation results indicated that there was no relationship between body mass index (KG/M2) and functional disability (ODI) with (p = 0.034) and pain severity (VAS) with (p = 0.808). For core stability exercises, the results of Pearson's correlation indicated that there was no relationship between body mass index (KG/M2) and functional disability (ODI) with (p = 0.959) and pain intensity (VAS) with (p = 0.987). By gender, the results showed there were no statistically significant role for Maitland mobilization and core stability exercises in improving function and reducing pain among patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Conclusion: Both core stability exercises and Maitland method have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing pain and improving functional disability in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

Structured different exercise protocols improve lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and thickness in stroke patients. A randomized controlled trial

ABSTRACT Background The effect of core stabilization exercises (CSE) alone, or in combination with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and Kinesio taping (KT) on lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and thickness in patients with stroke is not fully known. Objective To compare the efficacy of NMES and KT applied with CSE on lung functions, respiratory muscle strength, and thickness in patients with stroke. Methods A total of 45 stroke patients were randomly assigned to the core stabilization exercises (CSE) group, CSE+KT group or CSE+NMES group, respectively. All groups received the training protocol for 30–45 minutes, 3 days a week, for 6 weeks. Lung functions were measured using portable spirometry. Respiratory muscle strength was assessed using an analog manometer to measure maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP). Peak cough flow (PCF) was measured with a peak flow meter. Respiratory muscles thickness were determined using ultrasonography. Results Except for FVC (%pred) (F=4.432, p=0.018, np2=0.174), FEV1(%pred) (F=3.725, p=0.032, np2=0.151), and MEP (F=3.861, p=0.029, np2=0.155), the overall group by time interaction for rmANOVA showed that there was no statistically significant difference between groups (p>0.05). After post hoc analysis, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of FVC (%pred), FEV1(%pred) and MEP (p>0.025). Conclusions The addition of NMES or KT to core stabilization exercises did not appear to provide additional benefit in improving lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and thickness in stroke patients.

Comparison of the efficacy of intradialytic core stabilization and aerobic exercises for hemodialysis patients: randomized controlled single-blind study

Purpose This study was performed to investigate and compare the effects of intradialytic core stabilization and aerobic exercises on physical performance, fatigue, quality of life and dialysis adequacy. Materials and methods The study involved 39 individuals on hemodialysis randomized into two groups: aerobic exercise (AE, n = 20) and core stabilization (CSE, n = 19). Over 8 weeks, the AE group performed pedal ergometer exercises, while the CSE group performed 4-phase core stabilization exercises. Physical performance (five times sit to stand test, 2-min step test), quality of life (Kidney Disease Quality of Life-36; KDQOL-36), fatigue levels (Piper Fatigue Scale), and dialysis adequacy (Kt/V and URR) were assessed. Results After training, a significant improvement was observed in the physical performance, fatigue levels, and some parameters of KDQOL-36 of the patients (p < 0.05). However, no significant changes were observed in dialysis adequacy indicators (Kt/V and URR) (p > 0.05). When the amount of development obtained in both treatment groups is compared, kidney disease burden only in the subparameter of KDQOL-36 was statistically significantly improved in the CSE group compared to the AE group (p < 0.05). Conclusions According to the results of the study, intradialytic core stabilization exercises appear to have similar effects to aerobic exercises and can be performed by HD patients.

Role of Core-Based Exercises in Improving Proprioception among Individuals with Neurological Disorders: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis

PURPOSE: This study aimed to validate the effect of core-based exercise on proprioception in individuals with neurological disorders through a systematic review and meta-analysis.METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies published up to October 10, 2023. The search yielded 1,945 articles, with seven studies ultimately included for in-depth analysis. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated using Hedges’ g value using both random-effects and fixed-effects models.RESULTS: The meta-analysis revealed that core-based exercise significantly improved joint position sense (SMD = -1.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -2.09 to -0.57; I²= 0%; p &lt; .001) and kinesthesia (SMD = -0.33; 95% CI = -0.62 to -0.05; I²= 0%; p &lt; .05) in individuals with neurological disorders. In a sub-analysis by the type of neurological disease, core-based exercises were beneficial only for stroke patients (SMD = -1.05; 95% CI = -2.07 to -0.03; I²= 58%; p &lt; .05), but not for those with Parkinson’s disease or chorea. An analysis by the type of core exercise showed that core stability exercises had a significant benefit (SMD = -0.55; 95% CI = -0.97 to -0.14; I²= 0%; p &lt; .001), whereas yoga exercises did not demonstrate a significant effect.CONCLUSIONS: In this study, core-based exercises positively improved proprioception in patients with neurological disorders, and were particularly effective in stroke patients. Among various types of core exercises, only core stability exercises had a positive effect on proprioception in patients with neurological disorders.

The effectiveness of core stabilization exercise using ultrasound biofeedback on motor function, balance control, gait speed and activities of daily living in stroke patients.

Patients with hemiparetic stroke experience diminished motor function, dynamic balance, and gait speed, which influence their activities of daily living (ADL). This study aimed to determine the therapeutic effects of ultrasound biofeedback core exercise (UBCE) on Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), Time up and go (TUG), 10-meter walking test (10MWT) and functional independent measure (FIM) in participants with stroke. Twenty-four stroke survivors consistently underwent UBCE or abdominal draw-in maneuver (ADIM) for 30 min/session, 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Clinical outcome measurements- the FMA, TUG, 10MWT, and FIM- were observed pre-and post-intervention. We detected significant changes in the FMA-lower extremities, TUG, 10MWT, and FIM scores between the UBCE and ADIM groups. UBCE and ADIM showed significant improvements in FMA-lower extremities, TUG, 10MWT, and FIM scores. However, UBCE showed more favorable results than ADIM in patients with stroke. Our research provides novel therapeutic suggestion of neurorehabilitation in stroke patients.

Brain Gym and Core Stability Exercises are Superior in Improving Dynamic Balance in 8-9-Year-Old Children

Trunk muscle activation in prone plank exercises with different body tilts.

Body tilt changes could affect the intensity/difficulty of core stability exercises, but there is still a lack of knowledge about its impact. To analyse the trunk muscles activation during prone plank exercises at different body tilts. Twenty-four young adults who performed recreational gymnastic activities participated in this study. Electromyography activity of the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO) and erector spinae (ES) was recorded during the performance of six variations of the prone plank exercise (planking with feet supported on the ground [conventional horizontal position] and planking with feet supported on wall bars at five different heights increasing the angle tilt) and an inverted position exercise. The RA, EO and IO activation in all prone plank variations were higher than those observed in the conventional prone plank. In addition, the coefficient of variation of the muscle activation increased with the declination angle, reaching the highest values in the inverted position for the RA and ES muscles. The results seem to indicate that the body tilt variation could be used as an easy and inexpensive strategy for modulating the neuromuscular demands and the motor control challenge during planking exercises.

Effect Of Improving Lumbar Mobility, Spinal Stability ; With Core Stability Training To Achieve Per-sonal Best Runner

Running consists of simple basic movements, and to achieve these simple basic movements requires good mobility and stability, because the weakening of mobility and stability of the body causes misalignment or weakness of the legs so as to interfere with the absorption or propulsion phase in leg movement while running. Apply appropriate exercise methods to improve lumbar mobility and spinal stability. One training method that can be used is the core stability training method. Core stability is an exercise model to improve the ability to control the position of trunk movement through the pelvis and legs to allow optimal motion production. This study aims to ascertain whether core stability training can improve lumbar mobility and spinal stability in running athletes. The study used an experimental method with a research pattern using a group pretest-posttest design. 10 running athletes were sampled according to the criteria to be treated in the form of core stability training for 6 weeks. The athletes were assessed before and after training using the Functional Reach Test and Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance. This study showed that there was a significant effect between core stability training and lumbar mobility (P = 0.000) and spinal stability (P = 0.000) in athletes. The results of this study show that the application of core stability exercises can increase the ability of lumbar mobility and spinal stability, so if the core stability exercises are done properly, they can increase stability in the spine and mobility in the lumbar, which causes dynamic limb movement to be more efficient. Key Words: athletics; Core Stability; Lumbar Mobility; spine stability.

Effect of exercise given to factory workers with ergonomics training on pain and functionality: A randomized controlled trial.

Exercise and manual therapy are used with pharmacological interventions to manage low back pain and prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders. However, the potential benefits of incorporating exercise and ergonomics training for factory workers experiencing low back pain have not been definitively established. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of ergonomics training with exercises on pain, functionality, sleep, and fatigue among factory employees experiencing low back pain. This research was conducted as a randomized controlled trial involving workers with back pain employed in a plastic molding factory in Gebze, Kocaeli. Both groups received ergonomics training, but only the experimental group was given exercise training inclusive of stretching and core stabilization exercises. The workers in the experimental group were instructed to perform the exercises regularly for three days a week over a period of eight weeks. The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used for pre-and post-treatment assessment. The ODI, FSS, PSQI, and MPQ scores were significantly reduced in both groups. In the intergroup comparison, the exercise group showed a significantly greater decrease in all test scores compared to the control group. The exercise group showed a statistically significant decrease in ODI, FSS, MPQ, and PSQI scores compared to the control group. This study demonstrated that exercise is a more effective practice than ergonomic training for factory workers suffering from chronic low back pain.

Effects of a warm up integrated with core stability exercises on the motor abilities in young soccer players

Background and study aim. The warm-up phase in youth soccer can be used to introduce drills that do not find space within the training session. Core district exercises give stability to the trunk and hips, allowing for increased performance and reducing the risk of non-contact injuries. This study aims to test the effects of a warm up integrated with core stability exercises on the motor abilities in young soccer players. Material and methods. Young soccer players (n=32, 12.45±0.52 years, 1.49±0.05 m, 44±2.90 kg) were randomly divided into two groups: experimental (EG=17) and control group (CG=15). The EG performed an integrated warm-up with core stability tasks for 6 weeks (12 sessions). The CG followed the usual training schedule based on technical tactical and physical drills. Performance was assessed through broad jump, Hop test, Side Hop test, 10-meter sprint and 10x5-meter shuttle test. Results. Data analysis returns some statistically significant differences in intergroup comparison (T1): for broad jump (p = .008), for left limb Hop test (p = .02), for right limb Hop test (p = .02), for left limb Side Hop (p = .03), for right limb Side Hop (p = .04), for sprint 10-meters (p = .002), for shuttle run 10x5-meters (p = .03). Conclusions. The core stability exercises in the warm up seems to increase some performance correlated with the motor abilities stressed in the soccer. The warm up through appropriate modifications can represent, a useful and integrative moment to elicit more factors of performance and prevention.
