Relationship Between Clinical Tests and Clinical Outcomes After Motor Control Exercises Intervention

Subjects performed 8 weeks of motor control exercises intervention, 2 weekly 1 hour per session, instructed by trained physiotherapists to apply this program following a protocol developed in programs previously reported (Costa et al. 2009; Hodges et al. 2009). The first stage aims to improve the activity of muscles that have poor control and reduce overactivity of superficial muscles, previously assessed, through drawing in maneuver with feedback real-time ultrasound and via palpation. The second stage of the treatment involved more functional exercises, first using static and then dynamic tasks.
