A cross sectional study.
To find association between endurance testing for global stabilizers and Bobath reposition sense test.
The human movement system is well orchested system of inter related and interdependent components of close related kinetic link model enabling for efficient and smooth functioning of coordinated controlled movements. Alteration in joint arthrokinematics, muscular balance and neuromuscular control affect functioning of their entire kinetic chain. Yet there are no enough evidences to prove the correlation between them.
Total 30 healthy college going adults between the age group of 18–30 years were recruited using convenience sampling in the study after explaining the purpose of the study and signing the informed consent. Participants were excluded if they had any signs for low back pain, nerve root compression, and severe instability in spine, severe spinal deformity or operated for spinal surgeries. Baseline data was collected and all the participants were subjected to the standardized method of tests and Bobath reposition sense test for data collection to find their association.
Statistical analysis was done using based on test of normality a non-parametric correlation coefficient of independent and dependent variable were found using spearmen rho test. There was a significant correlation between trunk flexion endurance test and trunk extension endurance test (r =0.431, n =30, p < 0.05) and there was no correlation between trunk flexion endurance test and Bobath reposition sense test (r =0.056, n =30, p < 0.05), and trunk extension endurance test and Bobath reposition sense (r =0.048, n =30, p < 0.05)
The present cross sectional study concludes that there is correlation between trunk flexion endurance test and trunk extension endurance test but, there is no correlation between trunk flexion endurance test, trunk extension endurance test and bobath reposition sense.
