Core Stability Exercises

Other

Week 1 Bridging in face-down position 3 × 20 s Bridging in the supine position 3 × 20 s Side bridging (right and left) 3 × 20 s Week 2 Lifting the leg in supine position (knee bent) 3 × 20 repetitions Rising opposite hand and foot in quadriceps 3 × 20 repetitions Cross-crunch abdominal muscles 3 × 20 repetitions Week 3 Bridging on a physioball 3 × 20 repetitions Cobra exercise on a physioball 3 × 20 repetitions Superman exercise 3 × 20 repetitions Week 4 Sit-up on a physioball 3 × 20 repetitions Rotating the trunk in a sitting position using a physioball 3 × 20 repetitions Week 5 Lunge exercise with trunk rotation using a medicine ball 3 × 20 repetitions Bridging on a physioball (leg raising alternately) 3 × 10 repetitions on each leg Week 6 Lunge exercise (back leg on a physioball) 3 × 10 repetitions on each leg Superman exercise (alternately) 3 × 10 repetitions on each side

Primary outcomes

  1. ⦁ Y balance test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The YBT for the UQ (UQYBT) is reliable for assessing unilateral UE function in a closed chain position. The UQYBT also has the patient reach three directions with one UE while in a push-up position. The LQYBT has the patient stand on one leg while reaching out in 3 different directions with the other lower extremity. They are anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral. When using the Y-Balance test kit, the 3 reaches yield a "composite reach distance" or composite score used to predict injury.(18)

  2. ⦁ Stork stands balance test to measure static and dynamic equilibrium

    Time frame: 8 wee

    The stork balance test requires the person to stand on one leg, up on the ball of the foot, for as long as possible. The total time in seconds is recorded. The score is the best of three attempts. The table lists general ratings for this test. The stork test determines athletes' strength, conditioning, and technique and is reliable as long as it is done consistently.(30)
