Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Examination of the endurance of trunk muscles with Modified Plank's test before and after the intervention. 2. Lower extremity dynamic balance with Star Excursion Balance test (SEBT) , in (anterior (A), antero-lateral (AL), lateral (L), postero-lateral (PL), posterior (P), postero-medial (PM), medial (M), antero-medial (AM) directions before and after the intervention. Performed on both the right and left side, 3-3 experiments in each direction, of which the best value was taken into account. 3. Upper extremity dynamic balance with Y-Balance test (YBT) with distance in cm in 3 different directions (medial, infero-lateral, supero-lateral) before and after the intervention. Performed on both the right and left side, 3-3 experiments in each direction, of which the best value was taken into account.	—
