The Effect of Core Stabilization Exercise on Balance Ability in the Elderly

Development of Core Strength Training Equipment and Its Effect on the Performance and Stability of the Elderly in Activities of Daily Living

“…Several studies have confirmed that trunk exercise affected not only older adults' performance in activities of daily living but also their dynamic and static balance (Lee et al, 2013;O'Sullivan, 2000;Stevens et al, 2007). Similarly, the present study also confirmed that core-strengthening exercise enhanced the elderly's performance in going up and down the stairs and in maintaining one-leg static balance with eyes open.…”

“…Choi et al (2012) conducted a 4-week core-stabilizing exercise with a Swiss ball in the elderly and reported that the core-stabilizing exercise significantly affected their balance and gait. In addition, Lee et al (2013) Such findings imply that the reduced COP area in the present study is an indication that the movement of the COP of the subjects was minimized from week 4 to week 8 of core-strengthening training.…”
