Article Synopsis
- Motor control exercises (MCEs) and core stability exercises aim to improve trunk muscle coordination and control, but existing reviews show mixed results likely due to ignoring neuroplasticity principles.
- Researchers reviewed studies from 2006 to 2019 to analyze how well these exercises were defined and if they met neuroplasticity criteria in individuals with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP).
- Findings indicate that many reviews and studies did not properly apply the principles of motor control and neuroplasticity, leading to inconsistent understanding and application of these exercises.
