“…In this study, muscle strength of flexion and extension increased over time in both the REG and the RSEG. This is consistent with the results of Carpes et al who reported that lower extremity muscle strength increased in females with chronic low back pain in their twenties who performed resistance and stabilization complex exercises for seven weeks 14) . Their finding suggests that the reinforcement of muscle strength in strong regions promotes muscle activity in weak regions, which is explained by the principle of cross-training or opposite side effects 4) .…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of lumbar resistance and stabilization complex exercises on upper/lower extremity muscle strength and endurance of the general adult population. [Subjects] Fourteen male adults in their 20s participated. Seven persons each were randomly assigned to a resistance exercise group (REG) or a resistance and stabilization exercise group (RSEG). Exercise programs were implemented three times a week for 50 minutes for eight weeks.[Methods] The Biodex System 3 Pro was used to measure the upper/lower extremity muscle strength and endurance of the REG and RSEG prior to the intervention and at four and eight weeks following the commencement of the intervention. The results were then compared and analyzed.[Results] With regards to changes in upper/lower extremity muscle strength and endurance, both groups showed significant increases during the experimental period. The two groups also exhibited differences in muscle strength during upper/lower extremity flexion and differences in muscle endurance during upper extremity extension and lower extremity flexion.[Conclusion] Lumbar resistance and stabilization complex exercises positively affected both upper and lower extremity muscle strength and endurance. In particular, the RSEG showed larger effects than the REG. Therefore, the resistance and stabilization complex training exercises appear to be more effective for rehabilitation of the upper/lower extremities.

“…The multifidus muscle plays the greatest role in the neutral posture and in stabilization whilst in flexion, and in extension and axial rotations 15) . A study of the effects of the resistance and stabilization complex exercise for women in their twenties with chronic lower back pain also reported that their strength of lumbar muscles increased 16) , which is identical to the finding of this study. This result implies that the resistance and stabilization complex exercise program for lumbar muscles increased the strength of the lumbar muscles by strengthening the multifidus muscle which is a deep stabilizer muscle through stabilization exercise and the superficial stabilizer muscle through resistance exercise.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a resistance and stabilization complex exercise on the strength and cross-sectional area of lumbar muscles of typical adults in their twenties. [Subjects and Methods] For this study, 14 male adults in their twenties were chosen and randomly assigned to either the resistance exercise group (REG, n=7) or the resistance and stabilization exercise group (RSEG, n=7). They then exercised for 50 minutes three times a week for 8 weeks.[Methods] Pegasus was used to measure the strength of the lumbar muscles of the normal adults and computed tomography (CT) images were taken and compared to examine the changing crosssectional areas of the lumbar muscles.[Results] Both groups showed a significant increase in the strength of their lumbar muscles. For the cross-sectional area of the lumbar muscles, only the superficial stabilizer muscle of the REG group showed a significant increase, whereas both the superficial stabilizer and the deep stabilizer muscles of the RSEG group showed a significant increase.[Conclusion] The resistance and stabilization complex exercise for the lumbar muscles had positive effects on both the strength of the lumbar muscles as well as on the cross-sectional areas of the superficial stabilizer and deep stabilizer muscles. Therefore, resistance and stabilization complex exercise appears to be an effective exercise program for the prevention of lower back pain.

“…Appropriate corrective action using orthotics must determine postural correction with morphological restoration of balance and body stability [18,19], correct muscle stimulation with normalization of muscle tension, improvement of venous and lymphatic return through stimulation of cutaneous pressoreceptors, muscle proprioception, joint proprioceptors deeper, autonomic receptors but, at the same time, the same devices, they must have good adaptability to all types of footwear [20,21].…”

Posture is human fundamental ability that deals with the scientific and clinical study of body position in space, in order of maintaining balance in both static and dynamic conditions, in relation to the psychic functions, biochemical and somatosensory individual for the maintenance or achievement of health status. The aim of the present study was to examine if a medical device (plantar), called RUGRAN, can improve muscle rehabilitation in pain syndromes muscle-tendon for the correction and stabilization postural. The static pedobarographic evaluation revealed significantly higher values in terms of forefoot peak pressure, total plantar force and total contact area in subject without RUGARN plantar, compared to subjects with RUGARN plantar. This is the first study that investigated the pedobarographic changes in subjects with the RUGARN plantar. The static pedobarographic findings we observed while the subjects were standing revealed no difference of force distribution and contact area between forefoot and rearfoot and this finding did not support the hypothesis that the centre of the body shifts to forward because of excessive adipose tissue causing excessive forefoot loading.
