Effect of Trunk Extensor Muscle Fatigue on Postural Stability in Healthy Young Adults
Abstract: Objective To determine the effect of trunk extensor muscle fatigue on postural stability in healthy young adults using clinical measures Design Prospective, experimental, within subject, repeated measures design Setting Tertiary care hospital and research centre Participants 70 healthy adults in the age group of 20 to 25 years, volunteer sample Intervention Fatigue of trunk extensor muscles was induced by repeated dynamic contractions performed to maximum exhaustion. Postural stability was assessed under three different conditions viz. No fatigue, Fatigue and Recovery. Main Outcome Measures One-leg standing balance test and Functional reach test were used to assess static and dynamic postural stability respectively. Results Wilcoxon matched- paired signed ranked test was used for comparison of postural stability in No fatigue and Fatigue condition with p-value
