The Impact Of Core Stability Exercises On Standing , Functional Balance And Gait In Diplegic Cerebral Palsy Children

The term of "core stability" explains the capacity to control the position and movement of the central portion of the body. Core stability training targets the muscles deep within the abdomen that attach to the spine, pelvis and shoulders, that help in the preservation of proper posture and provide the basis for movements of extremities in a coordinated manner. The aim of core stability training is to achieve the optimal physical ability tom the normal state of the spine in daily activities, in addition to developing the endurance and coordination of these core stability muscles.The Core stability may help to improve dynamic balance and muscle coordination between lower and upper extremities, as well as reducing injury risk and muscle imbalances . Core stability exercises have a positive effect on reducing pain, activating deep abdominal muscles, elevating the stability of lumbar spine and improving physical function in patients . The stability of the lumbo-pelvic region is crucial to provide a foundation for movement of the upper and lower extremities, to support loads, and to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots . The core muscles stabilize the spine and trunk during movements such as jumping, running, and throwing .
