“…1. Eighteen studies (34.6%) involved only aerobic exercises [5,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45], 16 studies (30.8%) involved only resistance exercise [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61], and 18 studies (34.6%) involved a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise [62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77]…”

Systematic Review of Exercise Studies in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis: Exploring the Quality of Interventions According to the Principles of Exercise Training

Introduction: The objective of this systematic review is to explore the application and reporting of (i) the principles of exercise training in exercise trials, (ii) the components of exercise prescription, and (iii) the adherence towards the prescribed programmes in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Methods:The MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, PubMed and Embase electronic databases were searched from 1 January 2000 to 16 October 2020. RCTs comprising at least 3 weeks of aerobic and/or resistance exercise intervention in pwMS that reported at least one physiological outcome and were published in peerreviewed journals were eligible for inclusion. Results: Out of 52 RCTs included in this review, 58 intervention arms were examined. None applied more than four principles of exercise training. Specificity was addressed by 85%, progression by 33%, overload by 59%, initial values by 26%, reversibility by 0% and diminishing returns by 2% of trials. Fifty-two percent of trials reported all components of exercise prescription, and 3% of trials reported the level of adherence to the prescribed exercise. Marit L. Schlagheck and Niklas Joisten contributed equally and share first authorship. Annette Rademacher and Philipp Zimmer contributed equally and share last authorship.

“…30,31 The concept of core stability has been a recent focus in the fields of stroke and multiple sclerosis, showing an improvement in balance and mobility. [12][13][14] Interventions showing positive effects on balance and postural instability among persons with Parkinson's disease included multifactorial programs of muscle strengthening, range of movement, balance training, and walking training exercises. 31 In our study, balance ability significantly improved after implementing the core stability program proposed.…”

“…[10][11][12] In recent years, evidence has increasingly recommended core training for persons with neurological conditions such as stroke and multiple sclerosis with benefits in balance ability. [12][13][14] However, there is limited research on specific core stabilization as an intervention. Thus, the primary aim of this study was to explore the effects of a core stability program on dynamic balance, selfperceived level of confidence in performing specific activities without becoming unsteady, and standing balance in persons with Parkinson's disease.…”

Effects of a core stabilization training program on balance ability in persons with Parkinson’s disease: a randomized controlled trial

et al. 2020

Objective: To explore the effects of an eight-week core stability program on balance ability in persons with Parkinson’s disease. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: A local Parkinson’s association. Subjects: A total of 44 participants with a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease were randomly assigned to an experimental ( n = 22) or control group ( n = 22). Intervention: The experimental group received 24 sessions of core training, while the control group received an intervention including active joint mobilization, muscle stretching, and motor coordination exercises. Main measures: The primary outcome measure was dynamic balance evaluated using the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test. Secondary outcomes included the balance confidence assessed with the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale and standing balance assessed by the maximal excursion of center of pressure during the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance and the Limits of Stability test. Results: After treatment, a significant between-group improvement in dynamic balance was observed in the experimental group compared to the control group (change, 2.75 ± 1.80 vs 0.38 ± 2.15, P = 0.002). The experimental group also showed a significant improvement in confidence (change, 16.48 ± 16.21 vs 3.05 ± 13.53, P = 0.047) and maximal excursion of center of pressure in forward (change, 0.86 ± 1.89 cm vs 0.17 ± 0.26 cm, P = 0.048), left (change, 0.88 ± 2.63 cm vs 0.07 ± 0.48 cm, P = 0.010), and right (change, 1.63 ± 2.82 cm vs 0.05 ± 0.17 cm, P = 0.046) directions of limits of stability compared to the control group. Conclusion: A program based on core stability in comparison with non-specific exercise benefits dynamic balance and confidence and increases center of mass excursion in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

“…Core strength exercises involving muscle strengthening and balancing exercises are always used to reinforce and strengthen abdominal and pelvic muscles [22] because these muscles play a significant role in improving muscle flexibility, lumber stability, and body balance [23]. Several studies have reported the importance of core stability and its effects to prevent sports injuries and improve athletic activity and performance through inhibition of false motion patterns and the maintenance of good postural alignment [24].…”

Objective To determine whether an active rehabilitation program that involves repetitive effortful muscle contractions, including core stability, balancing exercises, progressive resistance exercises, and running activities, after a sports hernia, is effective. Methods Forty soccer players with sports hernias were randomly divided into two equal groups: group A (active rehabilitation program) and group B (conventional treatment). The methods of assessment included a visual analog scale (VAS) and hip internal and external range of motion assessments. Group A received conventional treatment (heat, massage, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and mobilization) plus an active rehabilitation program, while group B received only conventional treatment. Three treatment sessions were given each week for 2 months. Evaluations were performed pre- and post-treatment. Results A decrease in VAS was seen in both groups at the end of treatment, 80.25% in group A and 41.93% in group B. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.0001), whereas there were no statistical differences in internal and external rotation between the groups at the end of treatment (p>0.05). After treatment, an improvement in outcome measures of group A compared to group B (p=0.01) was seen. Thirteen patients in group A and only three patients in group B returned to sports activities without groin pain. Conclusion Active rehabilitation was effective for sports hernia management measured by a decrease in pain and the return to sports.
