No Intervention
Core stabilization group (CSG)
Wobble board group ( WBG)
Control group (CG)
This arm consists core stabilization exercises including abdominal hallowing, supine bride, bride dog, side plank, curl-up and modified push up exercise. Each session is going to begin with warm-up training which consist of stretching exercise for upper-limb, lower-limb and trunk muscles, and complete with cool down exercise (same with warm-up training). Patients are going to attend one session of patient education before the first session.
This arm consists balance training exercises which performed on computerized wobble board for primarily lower limb and anti- gravity muscle. Each session is going to begin with warm-up training which consist of stretching exercise for upper-limb, lower-limb and trunk muscles, and complete with cool down exercise (same with warm-up training). Patients are going to attend one session of patient education before the first session.
This arm was planned as a control group. Therefore, any intervention will not be performed. Patients in this arm going to participate only one session of patient education at the beginning of the program
