Core Training Reflection

735 Words3 Pages

This study was conducted to find out the effect of core training program on pain and dynamic balance in patients with PFPS. The results of this study indicated that both groups showed a significant reduction in the intensity of pain. This is might be attributed to adding exercises that help to improve the local circulation, pumps nutrition and oxygen, washes out the inflammatory metabolites and contributes to pain reduction. (Priyanka et al. 2017) (Shirazi et al. (2014 reported that improvement in core muscles could be an effective strategy in the rehabilitation of patients with PFPS.
The highly significant reduction in pain intensity in the study group may be attributed to adding core training program which would reduce the stress load over …show more content…

The outcomes of the study showed that there was an improvement in the dynamic balance in both groups with the upper hand to the study group. These results might be attributed to the reduction in pain intensity which may have influenced the increased distances in SEB. In addition, the reduced pain must have improved the magnitude of Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) activation for the stabilization of the knee while during the SEBT, which may allow the subjects to maintain their balance in a better way while trying to reach faraway distances (Aminaka & Gribble 2008). ( Mejiro & Waseda 2014 ) reported that the CS exercises are effective in improving the posterolateral and posteromedial directions of the …show more content…

The global muscles have greater bulk and longer moment arms, which makes them competent for generating large forces. This group includes the large, superficial muscles (i.e., erector spinae, external oblique abdominis, rectus abdominis), which act as prime movers during dynamic activities.
The local muscles have shorter moment arms, these muscles are smaller and deeper and because of that they give a better stabilization to vertebrae (i.e., multifidus, interspinalis, rotatores, intertransversalis). This categorization system has been criticized for the underestimate of the function of specific muscles, and that may lead some clinicians to consider that the local muscle group is more important than the global muscle for maintenance of CS. Nevertheless, both muscle groups give important contributions to core

    731 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is found in 15 to 30% individuals with low back pain.1 Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be a result of acute trauma, heavy lifting, prolonged bending, torsional strain, fall on to the buttocks and motor vehicle accidents. Chronic and repetitive shear or torsional forces associated with sports like golf, bowling, skating may also result in sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Prolonged sitting or lying on the affected side, more weight bearing on the affected side during walking or standing, forward bending with knees extended may also predispose a person to sacroiliac joint dysfunction.3 Mechanism of dysfunction: Dysfunction occurs mostly when a person lifts something in a forward flexed position or stands in lordotic posture. Due to this, line of gravity shifts anterior to the acetabulum which creates rotational force in extension around

NMT focuses on hypersensitive points within the taught bands of skeletal muscle cells, which often gives rise to a referral sensation phenomena that may include pain.

    The purpose of this essay is to describe structure and function of the tendon, present a discussion on the process of pathophysiological Tendinopathy and provide a review of known intervention used to manage or treat both acute and chronic tendinopathies. Tendons act to serve a connective tissue linking muscle to bony attachment points and in the case of the intermediate tendons that will act to link a muscle belly to another (Benjamin and Kaiser, et al). Tendons are a uniaxial and assist in force transmission thus being able to withstand external forces from multiple planes and angles (Kannus, 2008). Tendons are also responsible for storage of power and changes in the mechanical energy of the body of which in turn reduces muscular work by

    Overuse can also result from powerful activities involving either forward moving or sitting and continuous activity of the lower limbs like running or bicycling especially with lack of stretching and strengthening exercises. In these cases, impingement of the sciatic nerve is a high possibility especially in conditions where the Piriformis size is increased by 40%. Some studies have shown some involvement of the Pedundal nerve as well presented with symptoms of incontinence in addition to groin tingling and numbness(13). Furthermore in advanced case, unilateral weakness of several hip muscles supplied by nerves arising from the sacral plexus (e.g. Gluteus Maximus, Medius & Minimus, Tensor Fascia Lata and Quadrates Femoris) was associated with chronic stages of Piriformis syndrome. This could explain the decreased internal rotation range of motion in ipsilateral hip joint with increased severity and continuity of the
