Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of core stability training on trunk control and sitting balance in patients with paraplegia resulting from incomplete spinal cord injury.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI)

Interventions

OTHER

selected conventional physical therapy program

Patients received selected conventional physical therapy program in form of: 1. Passive and active-assisted ROM exercises for lower limbs 2. Upper limb strengthening exercises 3. Conventional trunk training on stable sitting surfaces 4. Functional sitting balance exercises 5. Transfer and wheelchair mobility training Treatment was conducted for about 60 minutes, three sessions per week for eight weeks

OTHER

conventional physical therapy program in addition to Core Stability Training.

The core stability program consisted of progressive trunk stabilization exercises targeting deep trunk muscles. Training included: 1. Static trunk stabilization exercises 2. Multidirectional reaching tasks 3. Anterior, posterior, and lateral weight-shifting activities 4. Advanced exercises on unstable surfaces 5. Upper limb activities combined with trunk stabilization The sessions were divided into 40-45 minutes of selected conventional physical therapy modalities and exercises, followed immediately by 15-20 minutes of progressive Core Stability Training (CST) targeting the deep stabilizing muscles of the trunk .
