Is core stability a risk factor for lower extremity injuries in an athletic population? A systematic review - March 2018

Conclusion: 'This systematic review provides preliminary evidence for the association between impaired core stability and the development of lower extremity injuries in healthy athletes. Deficits in various aspects of core stability were identified as potential risk factors for lower extremity injuries. As such, core stability needs to be considered when screening athletes.'
