A randomized controlled study was conducted with 40 desk workers aged 25-45. Participants were divided into two groups: Study Group (n=21) and Control Group (n=20). Participants in the Study Group received core stabilization, thoracic Participants in the Control Group performed mobility and hip mobility exercises, while participants in the Control Group only performed the same home exercise program. Before and after treatment, trunk stabilization of the participants was evaluated with the Plank test and Sorenson test, and their balance was evaluated with the Y balance test .
