Abstract
The purpose
of this study was to examine the effect of core stabilization training
program on the balance of mentally retarded students. Thirty one
mentally retarded male students were selected.
Methods. Subjects
were divided randomly into two groups, training (TRN: n= 17) and
control (CTL: n= 14). The dynamic balance was measured with the
modified Star Excursion Balance Test (Y test). TRN group performed a
core stabilization program for 6 weeks and three times per week. The
pre-test and post-test of Y test was done for two groups afterward.
Independent and dependent t-test used to analyze the data.
Results.
Results showed significant differences in mean posterolateral and
Posteromedial in the experimental group in post test (p≤0.05) but
insignificant on anterior direction (p≤0.27).
Conclusion. Core stabilization training program may improve the dynamic balance and can be used with other training programs.
Key
words:mental retardation, core stability, dynamic balance, Y test
