A Comparison Study of the Effects of Core Exercises and Chiropractic Cervical Manipulation on Body Dynamic Balance

The main purpose of this study was to measure balance ability, and it was intended to see how core muscle training leading to increased diaphragmatic pressure affects the human body s ability to balance. The Optojump system was used to collect the data which was statistically investigated. A total of 36 participants were recruited using random sampling from H university in Chungnam province. The participants were divided into three groups (exercise group, n=12, adjusting group, n=12 and control group, n=12) and measured pre-post Optojump test for balance ability. 12 participants (exercise group) conducted two kinds of core muscle training after the Optojump measurement and were remeasured after 5 minutes. 12 participants (adjusting group) received chiropracitic spinal adjustment after the Optojump measurement and were remeasured after 5minutes. 12 participant did not receive any treatments. For measure landing range, there was a significant difference on the experimental groups; before exercise (313.19±241.32) and after exercise (144.17±128.36), before spinal manipulation (412.49±255.19) and after spinal manipulation (170.41±85.98) (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the control group. In the Delta % statistics study, the experimental groups showed a change of - 40.02% (exercise group) and - 28.75% (adjusting group) respectively. The control group showed the change of 47.11%. In conclusion, this study suggests that core muscle training leading to increased diaphragmatic pressure would help improving balance in the body.
