Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will consist of core stabilization group (CSG), wobble board group (WBG) and control group. In CSG, exercises that focus basically on the abdominal, pelvic floor, trunk extensor and diaphragm muscles and comply with core stabilization criteria will be applied. In WBG, balance exercises which focus primarily lower limb and trunk muscles, will be performed on computerized wobble board with visual feed-back provided by computerized wobble board. In control group, no exercise will be performed, only the evaluation procedure will be applied at the beginning and 8 weeks later. It was planned to include in total of 36 patients and will be randomized them into three groups with 12 patients. Following the initial assessment, each patient will participate in a one-session patient education program. After that, patients in CSG and WBG will participate in their exercise training program which supervised by physiotherapist, 3 days a week for 8 weeks.When the exercise training programs for 8 weeks were completed, initial evaluations will be re-applied. Collected data will be analyzed with SPSS 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) program. The differences between pre- and post-treatment evaluations will be analyzed with "paired t test" and/ or " wilcoxon test".The differences between three groups will be analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and/ or Kruskal-Wallis test.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Core stabilization group (CSG)

This arm consists core stabilization exercises including abdominal hallowing, supine bride, bride dog, side plank, curl-up and modified push up exercise. Each session is going to begin with warm-up training which consist of stretching exercise for upper-limb, lower-limb and trunk muscles, and complete with cool down exercise (same with warm-up training). Patients are going to attend one session of patient education before the first session.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Core stabilization group(CSG)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Exercises training of this group occurs from 3 stages. In the stage 1 covering the first two weeks, core stabilization exercises are going to be applied 3 sets of 10 repetitions except side plank. Side plank is going to be performed 3 sets of 10 seconds. Stage 2 is going to include from 3 to 5 weeks. In this stage, exercises are going to be performed 3 sets of 12 repetitions except bride dog, plank and side plank. These exercises are going to be applied 3 sets of 15 seconds. Patients are going to perform exercises of stage 3 from 6 to 8 weeks. Exercises of stage 3 are going to be practiced 3 sets of 15 repetitions except bride dog, side plank and plank exercises which are going to be applied 3 set of 20 second. All stages include the same exercises except modified push-up exercise includes instead of plank exercise in stage 1. All of the exercises are going to practiced 3 days a week for 8 weeks. One of the sessions is estimated to take approximately 45-60 minutes.

Wobble board group ( WBG)

This arm consists balance training exercises which performed on computerized wobble board for primarily lower limb and anti- gravity muscle. Each session is going to begin with warm-up training which consist of stretching exercise for upper-limb, lower-limb and trunk muscles, and complete with cool down exercise (same with warm-up training). Patients are going to attend one session of patient education before the first session.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Wobble board group (WBG)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients in this group are going to perform exercise on computerized wobble board. This device is going to provide unstable surface to patient and offer visual feedback about their movement qualities. The 8 weeks program consists of 3 stages and each stage includes six exercises. In the first stage covering the first two weeks, repetitive exercises are going to be practiced 3 sets of 10 repetitions; time controlled exercises are going to be practiced 3 sets of 20 seconds. Stage 2 is going to include from 3 to 5 weeks. In this stage, repetitive exercises are going to be performed 3 sets of 12 repetition and time controlled exercises are going to be performed 3 sets of 25 seconds. Stage 3 is going to last from 6 to 8 weeks. In this stage, repetitive exercises are going to be practiced 3 sets of 15 repetitions and time controlled exercises are going to be practiced 3 sets of 30 seconds. One of the sessions is estimated to take approximately 45-60 minutes.

Control group (CG)

This arm was planned as a control group. Therefore, any intervention will not be performed. Patients in this arm going to participate only one session of patient education at the beginning of the program

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
