Book Description
For proper movement and to perform a wide spectrum of functions and activities "stability" is required, it is provided in a co-ordinated manner by the active structures (eg muscles), passive structures (eg lumbar spine), and control by neurological systems.Core stability (CS) was introduced for the first time in 1990s by (Hodges and Richardson) during studying the timing of trunk muscles in patients with chronic low back pain CLBP. There is controversy and some confusion on the definition of the term "core stability". Traditionally this term has referred to the active component to the stabilizing system including deep/local muscles that provide segmental stability (eg transversus abdominis, lumbar multifidus) and/or the superficial/global muscles (eg rectus abdominis, erector spinae) that enable trunk movement/torque generation and also assist in stability in more physically demanding tasks.CS is defined as the ability to maintain equilibrium and control of your spine and pelvic region during movement without compensatory movement just within physiological limits.
