Improve static and dynamic stability, mobility and weight-bearing ability.
The NeuroGym® Bungee Mobility Trainer is a versatile body weight support mechanism enabling safe, intensive motor retraining. The unique patented design enables the re-training of gait and natural protective reactions by counteracting loss of stability as naturally as possible. Comparable to a pool environment in terms of support, the Bungee Mobility Trainer allows graduated weight bearing while normal protective reactions such as sidestepping are re-developed. The Bungee Mobility Trainer provides graduated support from underneath, rather than a harness mechanism that provides the support from above. Supporting the patient from above does not allow this ‘natural’ graduated support, particularly upon loss of balance. The Bungee Mobility Trainer enables more realistic safe practice of gait, and most importantly, the protective reactions necessary to prevent falls.
Designed to fit through a standard doorway, the Bungee Mobility Trainer is suitable for a variety of clinical settings. The base of the walker can be widened to enable mobility in all directions, and forearm supports can be added for users with weak trunk and upper extremities. These supports swivel around two axes to allow for optimal forearm position. They are also equipped with forearm straps and with vertical handlebars. With the assist of the forearm supports, even very weak individuals with limited upper extremity and trunk strength can effectively mobilize in the Bungee Mobility Trainer. The Bungee Mobility Trainer comes standard with a safety shoulder harness that can be worn by the patient and buckled onto the back of the walker.
Bungee cords provide safe and graduated support, while the seat follows the body around two different axes, allowing natural movement. The base of the walker can be widened to enable mobility in all directions. High forearm supports can be added for users with weak trunk and upper extremities (e.g. in quadri-paresis). The Bungee Mobility Trainer comes standard with a safety shoulder harness that can be worn by the patient and buckled onto the back of the walker.
The Bungee Mobility Trainer is a body weight support device that allows for graduated weight bearing and safe mobility training. It supports patients from underneath rather than with a harness, and enables the retraining of gait and protective reactions through counteracting instability. The rolling device permits movement in any direction to improve balance, lateral movement, and weight shifting skills crucial for preventing falls. It can be used to help patients with conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, MS, cerebral palsy and Parkinson's disease regain mobility.

The Sit-to-Stand Trainer is a device that uses a counterweight mechanism to safely help individuals strengthen muscles and practice standing up. Unlike passive lifting devices, it allows the user to actively initiate standing motions. By gradually reducing the counterweight support, users can relearn the standing skill. Several case studies describe how the trainer helped individuals who were previously unable to stand or walk to regain mobility.
This orthosis is biomechanically and neuro-physiologically (facilliation and inhibition) effective ankle foot orthosis which is basically indicated for central narvous system disorder and it will provide dynamic ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. It provides independent movement of ankle knee and hip.
There are four main types of flexibility training: dynamic, static, ballistic, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Dynamic stretching uses controlled movement to stretch muscles and is well-suited for sports like dancing. Static stretching slowly stretches muscles to the point of discomfort and holds for 10-30 seconds. Ballistic stretching uses bouncing motions and can cause injury if done incorrectly. PNF stretching combines passive stretching with isometric contractions and is usually done with a partner. Regular flexibility training 2-5 days per week can improve flexibility within a few weeks.
This document discusses posture and postural alignment. It defines posture and describes the development of spinal curvature from birth. Good posture is defined as a position with stability, balance and minimal effort. Poor posture results from deviations from good alignment. Factors like muscles, nerves, reflexes and the central nervous system contribute to postural control. Techniques for assessing and correcting posture include exercises, stretching, strengthening, taping and myofascial release. Maintaining mobility, muscle balance and retraining awareness can help improve poor posture.
Core stability is a complex issue with many myths and misconceptions. There are several beliefs that are refuted by current evidence:
1) Certain core muscles like transversus abdominis are not uniquely important for spinal stability.
2) Weak abdominal muscles do not necessarily lead to back pain.
3) Strengthening core muscles does not reliably reduce back pain more than general exercises.
4) A strong core will not necessarily prevent injury more than other forms of exercise. Core stability exercises provide benefits similar to general exercises and are not uniquely effective for back pain.

Training type a2_resource_corestability_completedcalevelpe
Type of training discussed is core stability training. The intensity depends on whether exercises are isometric or isotonic. Core training can be done in every session, usually at the end, for durations depending on previous training. Intensity can be measured by exhaustion or abdominal curl tests. Overload is achieved by increasing reps, adding weight. Benefits include stabilized spine, shoulders, stronger base, forceful contractions, corrected imbalances, reduced injury risk. Elite athletes focus on core early to build strong base and improve posture, performance for events like swimming.
This document discusses joint mobility assessment in physical therapy. It begins by stating the learning objectives, which are to explain concepts of joint mobility assessment, state principles and guidelines, identify indications and precautions, demonstrate techniques, and communicate results. It then reviews relevant concepts such as range of motion, limitation of motion, and hypermobility versus instability. The document outlines the assessment procedures including pain assessment, active and passive motion tests, and accessory mobility tests. It provides guidance on patient positioning, use of glides and distraction/compression. The document concludes by describing how to interpret test findings and documenting the results.
This document provides a position stand on the use of instability training for core musculature. It defines the core as the axial skeleton and attached soft tissues. Core stability relies on appropriate muscle activation and intra-abdominal pressure, with abdominal bracing shown to be more effective than hollowing. While instability training can increase muscle activation, it can decrease force, power, velocity and range of motion. The position is that instability training has a role within periodized programs for variety, rehabilitation, and non-athletes but is not recommended as the primary training mode for athletes due to its negative effects on performance factors.
The document discusses several myths regarding core stability and exercises targeting the abdominal muscles. It argues that no single muscle is dominant in spinal stability, and individual muscle roles are constantly changing across tasks. Strengthening a few muscles in isolation does not necessarily improve motor control patterns or reduce back pain. Stability emerges from complex interactions between all trunk muscles in a given movement or posture.
This document discusses joint mobility and range of motion exercises. It defines types of range of motion including active, passive, and active-assisted. It describes causes of limited mobility like injury, immobilization, or lifestyle. The principles, preparation, and techniques for range of motion exercises are outlined, including positioning, monitoring the patient's response, and moving joints smoothly through their pain-free range. Guidelines are provided for applying range of motion exercises to individual joints. The goals are to maintain joint mobility and function while avoiding further injury.
The document introduces the Freestyler exercise platform, which combines progressive resistance with multi-axis movements to simulate natural human movement. It can be used in various fitness programs and rehabilitation. Basic exercises taught on the Freestyler are derived from single-axis movements and combined movements based on functional anatomy, training the main joints and muscles. This establishes a foundation for more advanced multi-axis functional exercises.
The presentation describes a new manual rehabilitative approach to activate the “Integrated Stabilizing System of the Spine, Chest and Pelvis” and achieve exciting levels of improved function of the locomotor system
Role Instability In Resistance TrainingAndrew Cannon
This document discusses instability resistance training and its role compared to traditional stable resistance training. It proposes that instability training places greater stress on the neuromuscular system, forcing greater adaptations. However, instability training may result in lower force output which could hinder strength gains. The document examines effects of instability training on muscle activation, coordination, and core/trunk strength while also looking at applications for sports, health and rehabilitation. Overall, the author concludes that both stable and unstable training should be incorporated for a balanced training program.
Proprioception refers to the sense of the position and movement of the body. It is detected by receptors in muscles, joints, and skin. Proprioceptive signals are sent to the central nervous system. The parietal cortex integrates proprioceptive information. Proprioception can be affected by factors like age, fatigue, injury, and diseases like Parkinson's. Proprioceptive training aims to enhance joint awareness and can help prevent injuries in sports. Body ownership refers to the sense that a body part belongs to one's own body, as shown in experiments with rubber hands.
The document summarizes research on the use of Swiss balls for lumbar stabilization exercises. It discusses how Swiss ball exercises target the core muscles and spinal stabilizers to improve spinal stability and balance. Several studies found that Swiss ball exercises led to increased muscle activity and improvements in trunk strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and pain levels. Exercises were performed on Swiss balls to encourage maintaining a neutral spine position and heighten the function of local spinal muscles.
1. The document discusses upper extremity balance and stability training, focusing on proprioception, core stability, and their relationship to shoulder stability.
2. It provides an overview of exercises to improve range of motion, strength, proprioception, core stability, and progressions for both open and closed kinetic chain exercises.
3. The author recommends programs incorporate exercises for rotator cuff and periscapular muscles, as well as closed kinetic chain exercises and functional training, while limiting unstable surface training.
The document discusses the differences between kinesthetic awareness and proprioception. Kinesthetic awareness is how we move externally, while proprioception is the internal messaging of where our body is in space. Proprioception provides feedback to allow kinesthetic awareness and coordinated movements without thinking. The document also provides examples of techniques to improve kinesthetic awareness and proprioception, such as various balancing exercises, calisthenics, and mirror training. Improving these can provide benefits like increased injury prevention, awareness, performance, and confidence.
Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis that damages joints through wear and tear. While there is no cure, physiotherapy can help manage osteoarthritis symptoms by reducing pain, improving movement and posture, and strengthening muscles. Physiotherapy treatments for osteoarthritis include exercises tailored to each individual, as recent research shows exercise is effective for managing knee osteoarthritis. Exercises help maintain movement, improve joint nutrition and strength, and support general fitness.
Modern orthotic devices play a vital role in rehabilitation by improving function, restricting or enforcing motion, or increasing support. An orthosis is a mechanical device fitted to the body to maintain it in an anatomical or functional position. Orthoses utilize forces like rigidity or springs to limit or assist movement and correct deformities using a three-point system of counter forces. They are classified based on their function, region, and specific condition or injury and made of materials like plastic, metal, or carbon fiber considering strength, weight, and comfort.
This document discusses balance, fall prevention, and balance assessment and training. It defines balance as control of the center of mass over the base of support. Age-related changes and diseases that impact balance components are reviewed. Valid tools to measure balance include the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, and Functional Reach test. Balance training exercises discussed include calf stretches, heel/toe raises, soft surface stance, and exercises using movable surfaces like Swiss balls and tilt boards. Both hard and soft surfaces are used to challenge static and dynamic balance.
This document discusses core stability training. It defines core stability as controlling the trunk over the pelvis and legs to allow force production and transfer. A stable core is important for injury prevention, performance, and linking the kinetic chain. The core has three systems - local stabilizers for stiffness, global stabilizers to link the pelvis and spine, and global mobilizers for gross movement. The document provides examples of exercises for each system and notes that programs should train the whole body dynamically while grooving motion patterns.
Update of Concepts Underlying Movement System SyndromesZinat Ashnagar
This document discusses key concepts underlying movement system syndromes and musculoskeletal pain. It proposes that dysfunctions of the movement system can be classified into syndromes that provide guidance for diagnosis and treatment. The syndromes are based on directions or alignments that cause pain, associated with movement impairments, and improved by correcting impairments. Most musculoskeletal pain results from cumulative microtrauma from repeated movements in specific directions or sustained alignments. Understanding these concepts enables practitioners to develop appropriate movement system diagnoses and treatment programs focused on correcting movement patterns rather than just treating tissues.

Functional Re-education training in PhysiotherapyAnumeha Sharma
Presentation contains detailed knowledge about Functional Re-education Training in rehabilitation to re-educate and restore motor impairments after any pathological condition.
- Functional – related to day-to-day functions
- Re-education – re-training (educating something, which is already known by an individual).
- Functional re-education techniques are those which are used in re-education of lost functions.
- Re-education means educating something, which is already known by an individual.
Functional re-education aims to retrain patients' movements and activities that they already know but cannot properly perform due to illness or injury. The goal is to increase independence through a tailored program of progressive exercises. Exercises may include rolling, sitting, kneeling, standing, and walking activities. Principles include thorough assessment, task-specific treatment, and avoiding discouragement to build confidence and independence over time.
Conventional Strength: Squat Progressions for Variety, Form, and FunctionPrecor
Lately, squats and lunges have become two of the most prescribed functional exercises. Why? They are foundational to so many of our daily activities and movement patterns like getting in and out of a chair, picking up kids or objects, and climbing stairs to name a few.
SEAS is an individualized exercise program adapted for conservative scoliosis treatment. It is based on a specific active self-correction technique performed without aids to primarily improve spinal stability in active self-correction. The SEAS exercises train neuromotor function to stimulate reflexive self-corrected posture during daily life activities.
Active movement refers to voluntary movement performed with one's own strength or energy. Assisted exercise involves applying an external force to help compensate for muscle deficiencies and ensure maximum effort from the weakened muscles. The principles of assisted exercise include applying assistance in the direction of muscle action, starting from a position of minimal tension in antagonistic muscles, and decreasing assistance as muscle power increases. The goal is for the patient to achieve controlled active movement without assistance over time through strengthening and retraining coordination.
This document provides an overview of posture, including definitions, types, mechanisms, patterns, principles of re-education, and presentation of good posture. It defines posture as the body's position either at rest or during movement. There are inactive postures for rest and active static and dynamic postures that require muscle coordination. Posture is maintained through complex reflexes involving muscles, eyes, ears, and joints. Good posture is efficient with minimal effort, while poor posture is inefficient and causes unnecessary muscle strain. Re-education of posture focuses on identifying and treating causes, gaining patient cooperation, relaxation/mobility exercises, and establishing new posture habits through repetition and education.
This document provides information on functional training and core stabilization exercises. It discusses how functional training focuses on movement patterns rather than isolated muscles. The core is described as including muscles that control the trunk and spine. Exercises are presented to find neutral spine position, activate the core muscles, and integrate core stabilization into functional movements using bodyweight, balls, and resistance.
Ankle sprains are common sports injuries, especially in basketball, soccer, football, and running. This document provides treatment guidelines for both acute and chronic ankle sprains. The rehabilitation process involves regaining range of motion, strengthening muscles through exercises of increasing difficulty, training proprioception and balance, and returning to activity-specific training. Preventing relapses is important and can be aided by sports-specific and injury prevention exercises.
This document discusses iso-inertial exercise technology as an additive in sports medicine physiotherapy. It defines iso-inertial exercise as movements with a constant load facilitated by devices using flywheels to provide constant resistance throughout range of motion. Such technology is beneficial for improving muscle strength, power and preventing injuries in athletes and those in rehabilitation by providing high intensity eccentric training. The document concludes iso-inertial exercise technology is a useful physiotherapy tool for sports professionals seeking to enhance performance.
PHYSIOTHERAPY IN SPINAL CORD INJURY (2).pptxpraveen Kumar
1) Early management of spinal cord injuries focuses on immobilization, fracture stabilization, and preventing secondary complications. Physical therapy aims to improve respiratory function through exercises and prevent skin breakdown through positioning.
2) During active rehabilitation, strengthening, cardiovascular training, and mobility skills help patients gain independence. Locomotor training uses orthotics, balance, and compensatory strategies to enable standing and walking.
3) For incomplete injuries, locomotor training on a treadmill with body weight support and manual assistance can retrain walking patterns. The goal is to generalize skills to overground walking in the community.
Shoulder open and closed kinematic chain.pptxSn Fatima
Shoulder open and closed kinematic chain-
Open kinematic chain-
One end of the series is free to move while the other is fixed, movement can take place at one joint without causing motion at other joints in the chain, although the segments will move in space.
Closed kinematic chain-
Both ends of the chain are fixed, movement at one joint not only moves one or more other segments in space but will also create movement in one or more other joints in the chain.
• Kinetic chain rehabilitation exercises use functional movement patterns to facilitate scapular motion and then to strengthen scapular musculature.
• Closed chain exercises is a co-contraction of both the agonist and the antagonist muscle groups that help enhance stability of GH joint.
• Open chain exercises have increased stress forces against glenohumeral joint
PNF is an approach to therapeutic exercise that combines diagonal movement patterns with techniques to improve neuromuscular control and function. It uses manual contacts by the therapist during movement to provide resistance and cues. Patterns involve multi-joint movements of the extremities and trunk. Techniques include stretches, contractions against resistance, and variations in speed and direction to strengthen muscles. Mechanical resistance can also be used to improve strength through varied exercises targeting major muscle groups. Guidelines recommend moderate intensity resistance training 2-3 times per week that gradually increases in difficulty.
Functional training methods are based on the principle of specificity and aim to train for a purpose using valid principles. Functional training focuses on closed kinetic chain exercises that are multi-joint, weight-bearing, and sport-specific movements like pushups and squats. In contrast, open chain exercises isolate muscles and joints like bicep curls. Understanding fascia is also important for functional training as it provides stability and allows for movement. Training should consider an individual's functional anatomy - hips need mobility, lumbar spine needs stability, and thoracic spine needs mobility. Overall, functional training integrates body systems and movements to prepare for sports performance.

The document discusses various aspects of the psychomotor domain that are tested, including:
1) Agility, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance which involve physical movement, coordination, and motor skills.
2) Agility is the ability to change directions quickly while maintaining control. Balance involves maintaining equilibrium when stationary or moving. Flexibility refers to the range of motion of joints. Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to provide oxygen during sustained activity.
3) The document then discusses testing muscular strength and power, with strength being the ability to overcome resistance and power being the maximum force applied in the shortest time.
The document discusses body mechanics and proper lifting techniques for healthcare workers. It defines body mechanics as the efficient, coordinated use of the body to move objects and perform daily activities. The key principles of body mechanics are maintaining a low center of gravity by bending the knees, keeping a wide base of support with the feet, and keeping the line of gravity vertical over the base of support. Proper lifting technique requires squatting close to the object, keeping the back straight, pulling the load close to the body, and using the legs to lift rather than the back. Following principles of good posture, balance, and engaging the core and leg muscles can help prevent injuries for healthcare workers.

1) Early management of spinal cord injuries focuses on immobilization, fracture stabilization, and preventing secondary complications. Physical therapy aims to improve respiratory function, prevent skin breakdown, and begin early mobility.
2) During active rehabilitation, the goals are to increase independence and functional mobility. Physical therapy focuses on strengthening, cardiovascular training, and learning mobility skills like transfers, bed mobility, and locomotion.
3) Locomotor training uses body weight support treadmills, orthoses like KAFOs, and assistive devices to retrain walking patterns after spinal cord injury. Training occurs both on the treadmill and overground.
