To Study About The Lumbopelvic Stability Level In Young Adults: A Survey
Keywords:
lumbar spine, lumbo-pelvic stability, back injuriesAbstract
Background: Segmental stability and mobility control of the core body of the body parts accentuate peak
performance and prevent musculoskeletal injury. Improper activation and poor control of deep trunk muscles (TrA,
MF) exist in asymptomatic individuals showing inability to control stability, which is early detection sign for back
problems. So there is a need to study the lumbopelvic stability level in young adults. Methodology: 94 healthy
individuals voluntarily are selected for study based on Inclusion and exclusion criteria. Lumbopelvic stability is
assessed by the method of Harrington and Davies and Jule et al, using stabilizer pressure biofeedback unit by
Chattanooga, Australia. Scores were recorded as the highest level completed (0-5) with a pressure change no greater
than 10 mmHg. Results: From 94 subjects only 12.76% (12.5% males, 14.29% females) has passed this test. So,
87.23% of people have less stability of lumbopelvic area. Conclusion: Lumbopelvic stability level is very less in young
healthy individual population. So it is very important to make them aware about the importance of improving core
stability.[Shah J NJIRM 2016; 7(3): 37 - 39]
