Summary

Objectives: To compare effectiveness of strengthening hip abductors with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) technique and Range Of Motion (ROM) exercises on core endurance and functional performance in healthy adults using theraband.

Methods: 66 sedentary healthy, male volunteers between ages 20-26 (mean age 21,68± 1,37 years) participated in study. PNF, ROM exercises applied with theraband include intervention groups. Theraband strengthening exercises were applied 3 days a week for 6 weeks, a total of 18 sessions. Intervention groups were compared with healthy control group. Participants hip abductor muscle strength was assessed with hand held dynamometer, lower extremity balance with y test, core endurance with flexor, extensor, right, left side endurance tests, global core stability with single leg squat test at baseline and at 6 weeks after exercise program.

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation exercises

The PNF group performed flexion-abduction-internal rotation and extension-abduction-internal rotation patterns as 15 repetitions, 2 sets. The metronome was used to fix the construction speed of the exercises (50bpm). PNF exercises were performed with EB at a metronome speed of 50bpm at a ratio of 1:2 sec. In other words, while transition from the antagonist to agonist pattern in 3 clicks, there was return from agonist to antagonist in 6 clicks.

OTHER

The Range Of Motion exercises

The ROM group performed hip flexion abduction, neutral abduction and extension abduction exercises with an EB at 50bpm metronome speed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. In both groups, 30 seconds of rest was given between exercises.
