Chattanooga Group STABILIZER Instrucciones Del Operador página 3

The STABILIZER™, designed by physical therapists, is a
simple device which registers changing pressure in an
air filled pressure cell. This allows body movement,
especially spinal movement, to be detected during
exercise. The unit consists of a combined
gauge/inflation bulb connected to a pressure cell.
Core Stabilization training involves the re-learning of
co-activation of co-contraction patterns of the
transverse abdominis and the lumbar multifidus to
provide local spinal segmental support. Published
research has shown that when functioning normally,
the transverse abdominis and the lumbar multifidus act
in concert, increasing tension on the thoracolumbar
fascia acting like a corset, providing stability to the
lumbar spine.
Research has shown these types of exercise are
especially important for the prevention and treatment
of low back and neck pain (of various pathologies). The
exercise techniques discussed in this instruction
manual involve slow and controlled body movement.
The STABILIZER is used to monitor and provide
feedback on body movement during exercise. This
promotes effective exercise to improve back and neck
pain.
The concepts put forth in this literature were in effect
at the time of publication. However, due to
Chattanooga Group's policy of continuous
improvement, changes may be made at any time
without obligation on the part of the designing physical
therapists or the Chattanooga Group.
