Summary

This study compares effect of swiss ball exercises with sling suspension exercises in the treatment of juvenile osteochondrosis in adolescent-girls

Detailed description

One of the main tasks in the treatment of osteochondrosis related back pain is training trunk stabilizing muscles. This might be achieved by using a sling suspension exercise systems. Redcord is a trademark for Sling Exercise Therapy. Suspension exercise training has been shown to improves functional movement patterns more effectively than traditional exercise by creating a challenging and pain free environment for movement re-training. Another commonly used option in the treatment of juvenile osteochondrosis is Gymball, also known as Swissball core training programmes that are popular trends in physiotherapy and strength and conditioning programs. Benefits of Gymball core training exercises that facilitate spinal stability and balance have often been emphasized by researchers in development of strength and endurance, flexibility, and neuromuscular control as a cost effective and enjoyable way to treat and prevent back pain. Both exercises modes are used in treatment of back pain and muscle training in young people with juvenile osteochondrosis, what is why this study aims to compare Sling Suspension therapy with Gymball exercise in this population.
