Influence of Abdominal Muscle Function on Knee Stability for Injury Prevention

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an 8-week core stabilization training program can improve abdominal strength and knee stability in physically active women aged 18 to 35. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does core stabilization training improve abdominal endurance as measured by the Prone Bridge Test? Does this training enhance knee stability as measured by the Lateral Squat Down, Y-Balance Test, and Drop Vertical Jump? Researchers will compare participants' results before and after the intervention to see whether the training program leads to measurable improvements in strength and stability. Participants will: Complete baseline testing of abdominal strength and knee stability using standardized assessments (Prone Bridge Test, Lateral Squat Down, Y-Balance Test, Drop Vertical Jump) recorded with a Vicon motion-capture system. Perform an 8-week supervised core stabilization program that includes front plank, side plank, and Nordic hamstring exercises following a structured progression. Complete the same performance tests again after the intervention.

Effectiveness of Pilates on Postural Correction, Core Strength and Flexibility in Younger Individuals With Non-specific Low Backache

The aim of this clinical trial is to study the effects of Pilates intervention versus conventional therapy on postural correction, core strength and flexibility in young individuals with complaint of non-specific low backache. The main question is whether the Pilates has better improvement as compared to the conventional therapy on postural correction, core strength and flexibility moreover to compare the effectiveness of two intervention. Participants of age 18-25 years and with complaint of non-specific low backache will be recruited. 50 participants will be enrolled. Participants will perform Pilates and conventional therapy for 3 times per week for six weeks. Participants will be randomly allocated to two groups and assessor blinding will be done to take baseline assessment. Assessor blinding is done to minimize biasness. Pre and Post assessments will be taken by the assessor. SPSS will be used for the analysis of the data.

Effects Of Isolated And Integrated Core Stability Training In Fast Bowlers

The objective of this study will be to compare the effects of isolated and integrated core stability training on power, balance and performance in fast bowlers.

Investigation of Core Muscle Strength in Patients With Unilateral Rotator Cuff Injury

Located in the middle of the kinetic chain system, the core muscles are the regions where forces are generated and transferred to the extremities of the body. The core includes the abdominal muscles in the front, the paraspinal and gluteal muscles in the back, the diaphragm muscle above, and the pelvic floor and hip girdle muscles below. Good core function is essential for performing dynamic upper and lower extremity movements. A relationship between shoulder function and the core region has been shown through the activation of core muscles during upper extremity movements. Muscle strength and endurance in the core region are needed to maintain functional stability during glenohumeral movements. The ability to maintain shoulder function is largely dependent on the stability of the trunk, which is closely related to the stability and balance control of the lower extremities. The shoulder girdle needs to compensate for the loss of core stability and/or inadequate coordination of the legs, trunk, or scapula by increasing the speed and/or power of movement. There are studies showing that weight shifts to the affected side in patients with shoulder pain. However, it is not clear whether balance disorders in patients with shoulder pathology contribute to shoulder pathology or, more accurately, whether they are a result of shoulder pathology. Changes in the static position of the scapula or dynamic scapular movement are generally defined as scapular dyskinesia. Due to changes in normal scapular kinematics, the normal biomechanics of the shoulder and joint stability also change. Scapular dyskinesia mostly occurs as a result of changes in coordination or activation between muscles. As a result, investigators planned their study based on the fact that shoulder pathologies can affect core, balance and scapular dyskinesia. For this purpose, investigators will compare the measurements investigators will take from those with unilateral shoulder pain and healthy individuals.
