Improving Core Strength in the Warfighter With a Novel Device
Sponsor: David Moss
Summary
Low back pain is one of the most common chief complaints amongst adult patients in the ambulatory clinic and emergency settings and poor core strength is a known underlying cause/perpetuator. Additionally, it is one of the most common reasons active-duty military personnel seek medical care (absolute 2015; absolute 2016; absolute 2017). Moreover, musculoskeletal conditions represent a common reason service members are placed on limited duty and considered medically not fit to deploy. The AllCore360° has the potential to prevent pain and injury, decrease pain as well as reduce duty, fitness and mobility restrictions in active-duty members with low back pain.

AllCore
AllCore360° is a novel core-strengthening machine intervention designed to target trunk muscles through gravity by means of high-intensity constant velocity rotating exercise (allcore360.com). AllCore360° is systematic, consistent and designed for use over time. The core is strengthened because a patient's core muscles are used in anterior, lateral, and posterior contractions sequentially during a single rotation (Palevo). The patient must resist gravity with the rotation as well as contract and fire isometrically to keep proper posture. Using proper posture, the patient must keep their back straight and neck neutral throughout the length of the intervention without relying on their lower body muscles at all (this is assisted by straps rendering the legs useless and by securing the pelvis in the chair).
