Abstract

Background: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of unstable modified wall squat exercises accompanied by abdominal drawing-in on the gait variables of healthy adults. Methods: The total number of subjects was 30, and 15 were randomly placed in the training group (TG) and 15 in the control group (CG). To determine the gait variables of TG and CG, step length difference (SLD) stance phase difference (STPD), swing phase difference (SWPD), single support difference (SSD), and step time difference (STD) were measured using OptoGait, a gait analysis system. Results: When the pre-intervention and post-intervention results of TG and CG were compared, statistically significant differences in SLD, STPD, SWPD, SSD and STD of TG were seen. Conclusion: Unstable modified wall squat exercises accompanied by abdominal drawing-in might help reduce the deviation between left and right gait variables during walking.
