4 Functional Star Excursion Balance Test. c Core Assessment Other Core Assessments The Sahrmann core stabilizing test (Stanton, Reaburn, and Humphries 2004) requires participants to lie in a supine position with the knees bent and the feet flat on the floor. A pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) is placed under the lower back of the participant, and the PBU is inflated to a pressure of 40 mm Hg. 1) while not changing the pressure in the cuff by more than 10 mm Hg. A reading greater or less than 10 mm Hg indicates a loss of lumbopelvic stability.
A lever arm is secured to the body part being assessed and programmed to move at a given speed regardless of the amount of force applied. Typical speeds include 60, 120, and 180 degrees per second. Abt et al. (2007) tested rotational core strength with a Biodex System 3 MultiJoint Testing and Rehabilitation System at 120 degrees per second to determine if core muscle fatigue had an impact on pedal performance in trained cyclists. The study did not identify any changes in pedal force production with a fatigued core, but it did note a change in cycling mechanics that could have long-term implications.
Since people who are confronted with an unstable situation or movement uncertainty adopt a stiffening strategy ■ 35 36 ■ Developing the Core (Carpenter et al. 2001; Hogan 1984; Karst and Hasan 1987), their coordination, force, power, speed, and other attributes can be adversely affected. Potentially, an instability training program that first involves static balance and then progresses to dynamic balance activities would improve intrinsic balance. This improvement in balance would increase movement confidence, releasing the neuromuscular system from a stiffening strategy to more unimpeded motion, force, and power development.
