(Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, 2024-01) Abdel latif, Ahmed S; Abdel Raoof, Neveen A; Diab, Olfat A
Background: Hip abductors muscles are extremely important during several activities and its weakness can affect our daily life activities. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of strengthening trunk muscles on Hip abductors strength and endurance in young adults. Patients and methods: This study was conducted on 58 patients. They were assigned into 2 equal groups: Group A (Control group) consisted of 29 subjects received conventional hip abduction exercises from standing position against a theraband and group B (Study group) consisted of 29 subjects received the same hip abduction exercises plus a curl up exercise performed 3 days a week at October University for Modern Sciences and Art (MSA). Results: There was statistically significant differences in the mean values of maximum abductor isometric strength post-study between both groups (p= 0.038) in favor of group B, in the mean values of time of unilateral bridging test post-study between both groups (p= 0.046) in favor of group B and in the mean values of time of hip abductor endurance post-study between both groups (p= 0.005) in favor to group B. Conclusion: Curl up exercise combined with hip abduction resisted exercise against an elastic band did a significant improvement regarding the maximum hip abductors isometric strength, and there was a significant difference in Hip abductors endurance compared to doing just hip abductors resisted exercise only. It’s recommended to add curl up exercise in programs aimed to improve Hip abductors strength and endurance.

Background: In the world of sports, balance is essential in enhancing performance and reducing the risk of injuries. Basketball, being a dynamic as well as physically demanding sport, demands athletes to exhibit exceptional balance and stability. Various techniques and interventions have been explored to optimize balance and prevent injuries among basketball players. One such intervention is the use of anti-pronation taping, which aims to realign the foot and ankle Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of using athletic rigid tape for foot realignment on balance in selected sport’s activities in pronated feet. Materials and Methods: Forty-Two female basketball players aged from fifteen to thirty years were included in this study. The participants were allocated into two groups using a random assignment method; Rigid athletic tape was applied to one group and no taping was applied to the other group. Dynamic Postural Balance was assessed using Biodex Balance System before and after 2 weeks from participation for the two groups. Results: There was improvement in both groups (Study and control groups) with significant improvement in study group (at P value < 0.05). Conclusion: Using athletic rigid taping for realignment can improve balance in pronated foot in basketball players. This may redirect the attention of sport’s rehabilitation specialists to include rigid taping to improve the performance of in sports including jumping as well as for prevention of injury.
