Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of posterior oblique sling strengthening on gait parameters (speed, stride length, and cadence), gluteus maximus strength, latissimus dorsi flexibilit...
Detailed Description
The posterior oblique sling, consisting of the latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus, and thoracolumbar fascia, is vital for lumbar-pelvic stability and efficient force transmission during movement. The g...
