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 />
