Implication

Literature review demonstrates multifaceted core stabilization programs reduce lower extremity injury risk, indicating the importance of neuromuscular control and endurance.

Key Points

Evaluate the evidence associating core stability, trunk muscle recruitment, and assessment strategies with musculoskeletal injury prevention.
Searched PubMed for epidemiologic, biomechanical, and clinical studies published between January 1980 and October 2012.
Reviewed literature focusing on core stability risk factors, functional assessment tools, and targeted exercise training programs.
Moderate evidence links altered core muscle recruitment patterns and impaired neuromuscular control to an increased risk of lower extremity injury.
Multifaceted exercise interventions targeting muscle activation, isometric endurance, and static and dynamic stabilization effectively lower injury rates.
