PURPOSE: This study investigated the effects of core muscle stability training on the weight distribution and stability of the elderly. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Thirty elderly persons were randomly divided into an experimental group which performed core strengthening exercises, and a control group which performed standard strengthening exercises for 8 weeks. A Tetrax Interactive Balance System was used to evaluate the weight distribution index (WDI) and the stability index (SI). RESULTS: The experimental group showed a significant improvement in terms of WDI and the SI. However, the control group showed no significant improvement in either. CONCLUSION: Core muscle stability training should be considered as a therapeutic method for the elderly to improve their WDI, and SI, and as a fall prevention measure.
