CORE STABILIZATION CONCEPTS
Poor posture
If extremely strong, the core are weak and will be not enough force can be produce
The body utilize the strenght, power, neuromuscular control and muscular endurance in prime mover
POSTURAL CONSIDERATION
Core functions to maintain postural alignment & dynamic postural equilibrium
Segmental deficit results in predictable dysfunction
Serial distortion patterns
Abnormal forces are distributed above and below misaligned segment
FUNCTION ANATOMY OF THE CORE
Lumbar spine muscles
Abdominal Muscles
Hip muscles
FUNCTION OF CORE MUSCLES
Maintenance normal force couple
Maintenance optimal arthrokinematics
