“…One possible explanation for this finding is that the TrA plays a key role in stabilizing the lumbar spine and pelvis during movements or perturbations that impose high loads or forces on these regions [ 35 ]. The TrA can stabilize the spine by increasing the intra-abdominal pressure [ 36 ] or by resisting the rotational and translational forces during trunk movements [ 37 ]. Therefore, exercises that involve lifting or moving the trunk or limbs may require higher TrA activation to maintain spinal stability and alignment than exercises that keep the trunk in a neutral position.…”

The transversus abdominis (TrA) is a core muscle that contributes to functional mobility and lumbar stability. This study aimed to compare the changes in TrA thickness during different Pilates exercises, and to identify the exercise that elicited the greatest TrA activation. Forty-four healthy women were divided into two groups: young (25–35 years old) and middle-aged (36–55 years old). TrA thickness was assessed by ultrasound while the participants performed five Pilates exercises: basic position, hundred, hip roll, side plank, and dead bug. A repeated measures analysis of variance revealed that the dead bug exercise induced a significantly higher increase in TrA thickness (relative to rest) than the other exercises (p < 0.05). The young group also showed a significantly higher overall TrA thickness than the middle-aged group (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that the dead bug exercise is the most effective for enhancing TrA activation among the Pilates exercises tested. The basic position and the hundred exercises can be used as warm-up exercises before performing more challenging exercises such as the hip roll, the side plank, and the dead bug. The sequence of exercises can be similar for both young and middle-aged women.

“…4 Thus, it is important to combine several kinds of exercise, with the intention of increasing 3D pelvic mobility. For instance, a combination of transverse abdominis exercises 38 and lateral tilt trunk-leaning exercises 18 might be effective in obtaining more coordinated 3D pelvic mobility. We may also need to consider the effect of pelvic tilt on hamstrings and quadriceps.…”

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is primarily caused by bony impingement between the acetabulum and femoral neck during hip motion. Increasing posterior pelvic tilt improves hip range of motion in patients with FAI. Purpose: To use computer simulation analysis to compare the effects of 3-dimensional (3D) changes in pelvic tilt (sagittal tilt [St], axial rotation, and coronal tilt) with changes in a single plane (St), with the aim of improving range of motion in patients with FAI. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: We evaluated 43 patients with FAI treated by arthroscopic cam resection. A 3D simulation was used to construct the following pelvic models: a 5° and 10° increase posteriorly in St (St5° and St10°) and a combined 5° change in St, axial rotation, and coronal tilt (Complex5°) from the baseline of the anterior pelvic plane. Improvements in maximum internal rotation (MIR) at 45°, 70°, and 90° of hip flexion and improvements in maximum flexion with no internal rotation were compared among the St5°, St10°, and Complex5° models. The pelvic models of each single-plane change of 5° and 10° were evaluated in the same simulation. Results: At 90° and 70°, there was a significant difference between the Complex5° and St10° models with respect to improvement in MIR ( P = .004 at 90° of flexion; P = .017 at 70° of flexion). There was no significant difference in MIR at 45° of flexion ( P = .71) or in maximum flexion ( P = .42). Conclusion: At 70° and 90° of hip flexion, a combined change in 3D pelvic alignment of 5° (ie, St, axial rotation, and coronal tilt) was more effective in improving hip MIR than a 10° change in St only. Clinical Relevance: Effective physical therapy for FAI should address pelvic motion in all 3 planes rather than in a single plane.

Background: Posterior fossa tumor is a type of brain tumor that is located at the borders of both the brain stem and cerebellum. The cerebellum is the brain region in charge of balance and coordination. Pediatric patients diagnosed with posterior fossa tumor have been reported to fall frequently. Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of balance and coordination training in these children. Methods: This randomized control clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04528316) was carried out between September 2020 and April 2021 at Children Cancer Hospital-57357. The inclusion criteria were - patients with posterior fossa tumor in maintenance phase and, age between 5-12 years. The exclusion criteria were - patients who had a genetic disorder or suffer from mental retardation, a chronic lung disease, sever cardiomyopathy, or a neuromuscular disease that does not not related to tumor. The study participants were randomly assigned into three groups: Group I/Control group: they received Pilates core stability exercises program, Group II/Postural stability group: They received the same program plus HUMAC balance program, and Group III/Coordination group: They received the same program plus coordination exercises of BOT-2. The semi-parametric proportional odds model was used to compare follow up scores of the Postural stability group vs Control, and Coordination group vs Control, while adjusting for baseline values. All tests were two-sided, with alpha set to 0.05. Results: Sixty children including 38 boys and 22 girls were enrolled in this study. In all three groups, postural stability and coordination improved significantly in terms of modified clinical test of sensory integration of balance, center of pressure, limits of stability, bilateral coordination, and upper-limb coordination. Conclusion: The current study supports the value of adding postural stability and coordination training to the physiotherapy plan for children with posterior fossa tumor. Keywords: Posterior fossa tumor, Children, HUMAC, BOT-2, Postural stability, Balance, Coordination.
