Abstract
Background : Regarding the reported reduced strength in the core and lower extremities of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Purpose: the purpose of this study was to answer the question of whether there is a relationship between core stability and lower extremity muscular strength of men with multiple sclerosis.
Methods: this research was a cross-sectional study and a total of 35 male patients (mean Disability Scale 1 to 4, mean aged 25 to 35 years) under the supervision of National Multiple Sclerosis Association of Tehran participated whit an available sampling method and Voluntarily. To evaluate the core stability of the trunk, two sets of endurance (time keeping) and isometric strength (dynamometer) of core stabilizer muscles were used. The strength of the muscles of the lower limb was measured by a dynamometer. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to investigation of the relationship between variables (P <0.001).
Results: Correlation analysis of the present study have shown that the relationship between the core stability of the trunk of multiple sclerosis patients (the strength of abductors of the hip r=0.629, the strength of external rotator r=0.492, trunk flexor strength r=0.546, trunk extensor endurance r=0.552, lateral endurance of trunk flexors r=0.564) was significant with the strength of knee extensor muscles in these patients. The relationship between these tests was significant (P <0.001) with the strength of knee flexor muscles (hip abductor strength r=0.532, exterior hip rotator strength r=0.492641, trunk flexor strength r=0.411, trunk extensor endurance r=0.503, lateral endurance of trunk flexors r=0.449).
Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that there is a significant and positive relationship between the core stability and muscle strength of the lower extremity of patients with multiple sclerosis and that it seems to be it is important to considerate on core stability and lower extremity’s muscles in exercise therapy of these patients.
