THE CENTAUR 3-D-TRAINAGER<br />
FOR THE BACK<br />
Back Balance <strong>Control</strong><br />
An <strong>in</strong>novative concept for an effective prevention<br />
and successful treatment of back pa<strong>in</strong><br />
with the help of functional tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of the<br />
back muscles' sensori-motor system with the<br />
CENTAUR 3-D-tra<strong>in</strong>ager for the back.<br />
Problem<br />
A well-balanced function of the muscles<br />
stabilis<strong>in</strong>g the sp<strong>in</strong>al column res. of the<br />
sensori-motor system is of great importance<br />
to avoid an overload of the sp<strong>in</strong>al column<br />
and back problems result<strong>in</strong>g from such a<br />
situation.<br />
In the majority of the cases back problems<br />
are a consequence of functional dysbalances<br />
and performance deficiencies of the trunk<br />
sensori-motor system. Us<strong>in</strong>g condition<strong>in</strong>g<br />
exercises for the trunk sensori-motor system<br />
as part of functional tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is one way to<br />
counteract this both under preventive and<br />

therapeutic aspect, but the problem of activat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the deep muscles rema<strong>in</strong>s. The deep<br />
muscles stabilis<strong>in</strong>g the s<strong>in</strong>gle vertebra, the so<br />
called autochthonous back muscles, can, a<br />
priori, not be activated voluntarily. Thus there<br />
is only a limited tra<strong>in</strong>ability of these muscles<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g the strength tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g with traditional<br />
apparatuses.<br />
The new approach<br />
Us<strong>in</strong>g the newly developed CENTAUR<br />
3-D-tra<strong>in</strong>ager for the back can bypass these<br />
problems. The controlled change of the body<br />
tilt with<strong>in</strong> the gravitational field of the earth<br />
creates a def<strong>in</strong>ed load. In addition the<br />
balance analyser is activated, which aga<strong>in</strong>,<br />

FIELDS OF APPLICATION<br />
The CENTAUR 3-D-tra<strong>in</strong>ager for the back can<br />
be applied both <strong>in</strong> rehabilitation cl<strong>in</strong>ics,<br />
departments for <strong>in</strong>dustrial medic<strong>in</strong>e, <strong>in</strong> sports<br />
medical departments and medical departments<br />
of the armed forces as well as <strong>in</strong> orthopaedic<br />
and physiotherapeutic departments of<br />
medical hospitals, fitness and health centres.<br />
It can also be applied <strong>in</strong> the prevention of<br />
back pa<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> schools, for staff members of<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustrial enterprises, of IT firms, <strong>in</strong> the bank<strong>in</strong>g<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>ess and the public sector.<br />
