Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide an efficient and scientific basis for muscle activity (%MVIC) of RA, EO, VL, HS muscles and balance in soccer players through dynamic lumbar stability exercise and static lumbar stability exercise. Methods: This study included 23 soccer players belonging to D University of J province who attended the program for 30 minutes at a time and three times a week for 4 weeks. Of these 13 attended the dynamic lumbar stability exercise (DLSE) program and 10 the static lumbar stability exercise (SLSE) program. The differences between the effects of the dynamic lumbar stability exercise program and static lumbar stability exercise program were analyzed. Results: To increase muscle activity (%MVIC) and balance (WPL), the dynamic lumbar stability exercise program was more effective than was the static lumbar stability exercise program. 1) The %MVIC of trunk muscle (RA &EO) and lower extremitys muscle (VL & HS) increased from before training to after training in the case of the participants who performed the dynamic lumbar stability exercise. 2) The whole path length (WPL) decreased from before the training to after the training. The 2 groups significantly differed in this regard. Conclusion: Dynamic lumbar stability exercise program helps to improve the balancing ability and muscle activity in a soccer players who requires both muscle activity and balance than does any other players.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of two trunk stability exercise types on the gait factors of stroke patients. We randomly divided 24 old elderly patients with hemiplegia, who were hospitalized due to stroke, into a two groups, each with its own six-week exercise program: one that used of a dynamic trunk stability exercise using with physio-balls(n=12) and a group of one that used a static trunk stability exercise using on mats(n=12). After measuring the participants gait ability a sin a pre-test, we again measured their ability again as in a posttest after two-for both types of six-week exercise programs for each group. The analysis of the data analysis showed that both ball and mat exercise programs significantly improved the participants' gait velocity and stride length; cadence, however, was significantly changed only by the ball exercise program. In conclusion, both types of trunk stability exercise may be useful in improving the gait ability of stroke patients, and, in particular, the former can be used as an exercise method that effectively significantly affects more various other gait factors.

PURPOSE: We investigated the relationship between the segment of erector spinae during a core stability exercise according to visual control. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 20 healthy students. An 8-channel electromyograph was used to measure muscle activities of the erector spinae by segment(cervical, thoracic and lumbar) during a core stability exercise according to visual control. The collected data were analyzed using the independent t-test and Pearson-test. RESULTS: The activity of the erector spinae for all segment was higher without the vision than with. The activity of right cervical erector spinae was significantly increased by increasing the activity of the left thoracic erector spinae during a core stability exercise with vision (r= .555). The activity of left thoracic erector spinae was significantly increased by increasing the activity of the left lumbar erector spinae during a core stability exercise without vision (r= .472). CONCLUSION: There was a positive correlation between the cervical and thoracic segment of erector spinae during a core stability exercise with vision. There was a positive correlation between the thoracic and lumbar segment of erector spinae during a core stability exercise without vision.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of core stability exercise on the strength, activation of the trunk muscle, and pulmonary function in a Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) patient. METHODS: A 38-year-old male with GBS was enrolled in the study. A core stability exercise program was implemented for four weeks with a duration of 30 min/day and a frequency of three days/week. The program consisted of abdominal crunch, Swiss ball crunch, bicycle crunch, medicine ball sit-up with a toss, medicine ball rotational chest pass, raised upper body and lower body, and dead bug. Measurements of the strength of the trunk muscle (trunk flexion and hip flexion), activation of trunk muscles (rectus femoris; RA, external oblique abdominal; EOA, internal oblique abdominal; IOA, erector spinae; ES), and pulmonary function (forced expiratory capacity; FVC, forced expiratory volume at one second; FEV1) were taken before and after four weeks of core stability exercise. RESULTS: The strength of trunk muscles increased in the trunk and hip flexion after four weeks of core stability exercise, respectively, compared to the baseline levels. Activation of the trunk muscles increased in RA, EOA, and IOA after four weeks of core stability exercise compared to baseline levels, but decreased in ES after four weeks of core stability exercise compared to the baseline levels. The pulmonary function increased in FVC and FEV1 after four weeks of core stability exercise compared to the baseline levels. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that core stability exercise improves strength, Activation of the trunk muscle, And pulmonary function in patients with GBS.

본 연구는 만성 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 체간 안정화운동을 실시하여 동적 균형능력의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구의 대상자는 만성 뇌졸중 환자 38명으로 무작위로 두 그룹으로 나누어 체간 안정화운동(n=20)과 기존의 일반적 균형운동(n=18)을 주 3회씩 7주간 시행하였다. 운동의 시작 전과 후에 동적 균형능력을 측정하여 운동의 효과를 알아보았고 전과 후의 변화량을 가지고 운동방법간의 차이를 비교하였다. 연구 결과 체간 안정화운동으로 뇌졸중 환자의 동적 균형능력(BBS, TUG)이 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.001). 두 그룹간의 치료 전 후차 변화량을 비교한 결과, BBS 측정에서 체간 안정화운동이 일반적 균형운동보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 앞으로 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 재활 훈련 방법으로 체간의 안정화운동이 유용하게 적용될 것으로 기대되고 임상적 적용에서도 누운 자세에서 시행하는 체간 안정화운동이 뇌졸중 급성기 이후의 조기 적용에도 활용할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이라고 생각된다.

Core stability exercises for patients with hemiplegia have become increasingly important and a variety of exercises have been developed over the years to give the hemiplegic patients more stable postural control. This study examined the therapeutic effects of the core stability exercises on the ability of static and dynamic postural control. Fifteen hemiplegic patients (7 males, 8 females, age ranging from 46 to 76 years) hospitalized in a Daejoen rehabilitation hospital were enrolled in this study. Nine and 6 patients had a cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, respectively. The subjects participated in a core stability exercise program consisting of a total of 12 sessions 3 times each week over a 4-week period with each exercise lasting approximately 15 minutes. The ability of static and dynamic postural control by Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG), respectively, were measured before and after the core stability exercise. A Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used to compare the effects of the ability of static and dynamic postural control before and after core stability exercise in patients with hemiplegia. The ${\alpha}$=.05 level of significance was used for the statistical tests. Core stability exercises were effective in improving the ability of static postural control; BBS (p<.05). Core stability exercises were also effective in improving the ability of dynamic postural control; TUG (p<.05). Overall, core stability exercise is believed to be an important therapeutic method in rehabilitation programs for hemiplegic patients.

This study aimed to assess the effects of progressive lumbar stability exercises and lumbar stability exercises on changes in the transversus abdominis muscle thickness and lower extremity muscle fatigue index in soccer players. Ten subjects were assigned to undergo training in each of the 2 groups, namely, the progressive lumbar stability exercise group and lumbar stability exercise group. Each intervention session lasted for 30 min, and 4 sessions were conducted in a week for 6 weeks for soccer players of S. University in Jeonnam, Korea. Changes in the transversus abdominis muscle thickness and lower extremity muscle fatigue index were measured using ultrasound and surface electromyogram. The results of the ultrasound measurement for the transversus abdominis muscle thickness indicated that progressive lumbar stability exercises were more effective than lumbar stability exercises. The results of the lower extremity muscle fatigue index measurements using surface electromyogram indicated that the fatigue index decreased in the progressive lumbar stability exercise group. Progressive lumbar stability exercise is believed to have put more workload during the shaking of the limbs, leading to increased stability and increased efficiency of the lower extremity muscle, thereby decreasing the fatigue index. Therefore, progressive lumbar stability exercises can be an effective measure for preventing injuries and improving the game performance of sports players by increasing the transversus abdominis muscle thickness and decreasing the lower extremity muscle fatigue index.
