Overview

One of the therapeutic goals in patients with vertebrogenic disorders is to influence stabilizing function of muscles. It has been found insufficient to exercise the muscles in that case according to their function derived from the muscle origin and insertion. In the treatment we are not only interested in the strength of the muscle alone, but particularly its recruitment, i.e. a synchronized involvement. In order to influence stabilizing muscular functions the authors employ reflex principles based on postural ontogenesis. For physiological recruitment of the muscles it is also of importance to direct the exercise to the mode of performing the activity, the way of motion and use our body. The way we keep our head, stand upright and rest our feet on the stand and our muscular tension are involved. All that belongs to the picture we impersonate ourselves. This picture can to some extent correspond to the reality, but is mostly rather vague and we are unable to correct it. An exercise directed to correction of such picture brings about better results than gradual corrections of individual errors.

Key words:
wertegrogenic complaints, stabilizing function of muscles, synchronized of muscels
