This study aimed to investigate the effects of a short-term core stability exercise on functional movement and balance in people with mild lower-limb discomfort. Twenty people with mild lower-limb discomfort were randomly assigned to control (CG) and core stability exercise training groups (SG, n=10 each). The SG completed twenty 30-min training sessions consisting of Pilates exercises for four weeks. Functional movement, balance, and discomfort level were assessed before and after core stability exercise, using a functional movement test, balance test and visual analogue scale (VAS), respectively. A mixed ANOVA with repeated measures was performed to determine the differences. SG demonstrated a significant increase in hurdle step (p = 0.024, group × time effect) and shoulder mobility (p = 0.037, group × time effect). The dynamic balance scores were significantly increased from the baseline in both limbs (right, p = 0.007; left, p = 0.011, time effect). Post-hoc pairwise comparisons indicated these increases were significant only in SG. Additionally, ankle pain was significantly reduced in SG (p = 0.023, group × time effect). This study highlights that four weeks of core stability exercise can positively affect the lower limbs’ functional movement and balance in people with mild lower-limb discomfort.

四周核心稳定运动对轻度下肢不适患者功能运动和平衡的影响

这项研究旨在调查短期核​​心稳定性锻炼对轻度下肢不适患者的功能运动和平衡的影响。将20名轻度下肢不适患者随机分为对照组(CG)和核心稳定性运动训练组(SG,每组n = 10)。SG完成了20个30分钟的培训课程,其中包括普拉提练习,历时四个星期。在核心稳定性锻炼之前和之后,分别使用功能性运动测试,平衡性测试和视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估功能性运动,平衡和不适水平。进行重复测量的混合方差分析以确定差异。SG表现出跨步(p = 0.024,组×时间效应)和肩部活动度(p = 0.037,组×时间效应)显着增加。肢体的动态平衡得分均较基线显着提高(右,p = 0.007;左,p = 0.011,时间效应)。事后成对比较表明,这些增加仅在SG中显着。此外,SG的踝关节疼痛明显减轻(p = 0.023,组×时间效应)。这项研究强调,四周的核心稳定运动可以对轻度下肢不适的人的下肢功能运动和平衡产生积极影响。
