Effects of core stability exercises on balance among Chinese children and youth with intellectual disabilities
Six weeks of core stability exercises significantly improved the static balance of children and youth with IDs under EO and FI conditions, as well as all three directions of dynamic balance. Future studies with multiple measurement points are warranted to examine the long-term effectiveness of this training on balance in this population.
