Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization: Excercises based on developmental kinesiology models

Abstrakt

Etiology of musculoskeletal pain, in particular back pain, is evaluated from neurophysiological and developmental kinesiolgoy standpoint. The chapter presents a critical set of functional tests to analyze the quality of functional stability of the spinal and joint stabilizers, and to assist in finding the "key link" of dysfunction.

The treatment approach is based on ontogenetic global postural-locomotor patterns. DNS treatment concept, patient education and participation are emphasized to reinforce ideal coordination among all stabilizing muscles.
