Sling Suspension Versus Gym Balls in the Treatment of Juvenile Spinal Osteochondrosis
This study compares effect of swiss ball exercises with sling suspension exercises in the
 treatment of juvenile osteochondrosis in adolescent-girls
One of the main tasks in the treatment of osteochondrosis related back pain is training trunk
 stabilizing muscles. This might be achieved by using a sling suspension exercise systems.
 Redcord is a trademark for Sling Exercise Therapy. Suspension exercise training has been
 shown to improves functional movement patterns more effectively than traditional exercise by
 creating a challenging and pain free environment for movement re-training. Another commonly
 used option in the treatment of juvenile osteochondrosis is Gymball, also known as Swissball
 core training programmes that are popular trends in physiotherapy and strength and
 conditioning programs. Benefits of Gymball core training exercises that facilitate spinal
 stability and balance have often been emphasized by researchers in development of strength
 and endurance, flexibility, and neuromuscular control as a cost effective and enjoyable way
 to treat and prevent back pain. Both exercises modes are used in treatment of back pain and
 muscle training in young people with juvenile osteochondrosis, what is why this study aims to
 compare Sling Suspension therapy with Gymball exercise in this population.
