Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
There is no single muscle that is primarily responsible for maintaining spine stability. Muscles in the trunk play several roles at once, and their roles depend on the instantaneous demands placed on the spinal column. Current research supports the idea that many different muscles must be worked to achieve adequate stabilization and that the goal is to select the most appropriate exercises for specific individuals and specific objectives. Exercises that target agonist-antagonist muscle coactivation are ideal for injury prevention and rehabilitation. These exercises promote the kinesthetic awareness necessary to maintain a safe "neutral" spine and thus avoid potentially harmful end-range joint loading. Postural motor control is vital for spinal stabilization during activities of daily living, occupational demands, and sport-specific demands. Individual differences should guide clinical decisions with respect to developing a core-stability program. © 2005 Human Kinetics.
