The use of suspension systems for physiotherapy in patients with vertebrogenic disease
ZÍKOVÁ, Jana
In my bachelor thesis I focus on the use of suspension systems for patients with vertebrogenic disease. The increased load on the musculoskeletal system caused by incorrect movement habits or improper working positioning often leads to vertebrogenic problems. Using physiotherapy tools can solve these issues. Methods such as the McKenzie method, Brügger concept, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, etc. are available. An useful alternative could be applying a suspension systém in therapy. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the research of the spine, including its anatomy, muscles, and mobility. It further focuses on the deep stabilizing system of the spine and on vertebrogenic disease such as pain in the cervical, thoracic, and the lumbar spine and its therapy. The last part of the reseach is dedicated to suspension systems, specifically Redcord, TRX, and Jungle Sports. The practical part is processed as a qualitative research in the form of case studies. The main aim was to describe exercise units using a suspension system for patients with vertebrogenic disease and to find physiotherapy options for them. The research sample consisted of three patients who attended the outpatient facility for a period of two months. The inclusion criterion was chronic vertebrogenic algic syndrome (VAS). The therapy primarily focused on the individual muscle imbalances through exercises in the Redcord system, combined with alternative exercises suitable for home environments without suspension systems. The final evaluation of the results was performed by comparing the initial and final kinesiological analyses.
