Core Stability and Fall Prevention

Course overview

Core strengthening exercises are often used as a rehabilitation exercise for athletes. However, today there is currently valid evidence to support incorporating these exercises into all rehab settings to enhance outcomes. Core strengthening exercises help the development of proximal stability for distal mobility and for satisfying the human body's stages of motor control. Traditional fall prevention programs often do not include performing core exercises that facilitate all the facets of core stability, and that is a main focus of this course.
