  • PURPOSE: This study assessed the exercise programs for improving the spinal angle and trunk flexibility by applying the aquatic exercise and sling exercise to young adults with scoliosis. METHODS: The subjects were 14 participants diagnosed with scoliosis. They were assigned randomly either to an aquatic exercise group (n=7) that received the WATSU exercise program or to a sling exercise group (n=7) that received a sling exercise program. The exercise program was 50 minutes once, three times a week, 12 times for four weeks. The spinal angle and flexibility were measured using the Cobb's angle and modified sit and reach test, respectively. Two variables were analyzed before and after the intervention, and the aquatic exercise group and sling exercise group were compared. RESULTS: After the intervention, the Cobb's angle decreased significantly, and the flexibility increased significantly in both groups (p<.05). A larger increase in flexibility was observed in the aquatic exercise group than in the sling exercise group (p<.05). CONCLUSION: These results showed that the two exercise programs improved the spine angle and flexibility. The increased flexibility showed that aquatic exercise was more effective than the sling exercise. Therefore, aquatic exercise and sling exercise can be used in the treatment and prevention of scoliosis.

  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mandible position on proprioception and range of motion (ROM) during neck stabilization exercise using a sling in healthy adults. Methods: The subjects were randomly assigned to either a sling exercise and mandible open group (n=10) or a sling exercise and mandible closed group (n=12). The sling exercise-mandible open group and sling exercise-mandible closed group took part in an exercise program for 30min, three times per week for 4 weeks. After each training session, head repositioning accuracy (HRA) and the ROM of the cervical spine were measured. Wilcoxon's test was conducted to verify changes within each group, and the Mann-Whitney U test was performed to examine between-group differences. Results: The HRA of the cervical spine was significantly increased during left rotation and extension in the sling exercise-mandible open group. In addition, there were significant differences in both rotations and extension in the two groups. The ROM of the cervical spine increased significantly during both rotations in the sling exercise-mandible closed group. In addition, there was a significant difference in right rotation and extension in both groups. Conclusion: Cervical stabilization exercise using a sling, with the mandible closed increased proprioception and the ROM of the cervical spine.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine of this study is to study the effect of squat exercise on muscle activation in a sling device using various types of ropes and to propose an effective sling exercise method for strengthening the lower extremity strength. Method: 20 adult male subjects (age: 25.2±2.4 yrs, height: 176.5±3.2 cm, weight: 77.2±4.5 kg) participated in this study. In the experiment, a total of four squats were conducted: squat [SE], sling squat using inelastic rope [IR], sling squat using elastic rope [ER], and sling squat using two elastic ropes [TER]. Squats were performed 5 times for each condition, and a 60-second break was given for each condition to minimize muscle fatigue. The activation of biceps brachii, rectus femoris, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles was measured. Results: It was found that the activation of all muscles was the lowest during the squat exercise [SE]. During the sling squat using inelastic rope [IR], the muscle activation of the biceps brachii was the highest. During the sling squat using elastic rope [ER], the activation of the rectus femoris, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles was found to be the highest. In the sling squat using two elastic ropes [TER], most of the muscle activation was similar to that of the sling squat using inelastic rope [IR]. Conclusion: Our results of the experiment, it was found that sling squat exercise using elastic rope had a positive effect on the activation of all muscles. It is thought that performing a squat exercise under moderate weight load and unstable conditions, such as sling squat exercise using elastic rope, can increase the muscle activity of the lower limbs and perform more effective exercise effect than performing a conventional squat exercise under stable conditions. In the future, if research is conducted not only on adult men, but also on various ages and patients, it will be able to provide positive help in improving balance, stability and stamina through squat exercise.

  • The purpose of this study was to accurately measure the load generated on the leg according to the position of the sling strap supporting the leg during the sling bridge exercise for improvement of life care. Ten Healthy university students participated in two trials: knee bridge exercise and ankle bridge exercise in supine position. The loads transmitted to the knees and ankles were measured when a bridge exercise was performed with a sling strap on both knees and ankles. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the load of sling bridge exercise with both knees supported was statistically greater than the load of sling bridge exercise with both ankles supported(p<.01). On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference in the load between both knees and both ankles (p>.05). Therefore this study is meaningful in that it objectively measured the load on the leg during sling bridge exercise, and is thought to be helpful in setting exercise intensity during sling exercise.

  • Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine comparison of tension according to the type of sling cord during the bridging exercise with sling in stroke patients. Methods Twenty six stroke patients were recruited for this study. Subjects were randomly performed sling bridging exercise with three types of sling cords such as nonelastic cord with affected side-nonelastic cord with non affected side (NC-NC), nonelastic cord with affected side-elastic cord with non affected side (NC-EC), and elastic cord with affected side-nonelastic cord with non affected side (EC-NC). They were measured tension with a tensiometer of sling cord during the bridging exercise with sling. Results The tension of sling cord was significantly different in affected side, non affected side, and tension ratio of affected side/non affected side. There were significant differences tension in NC-EC from NC-NC and EC-NC and the NC-EC method was increased tension of affected side and decreased tension of non affected side. Conclusions These results showed that the NC-EC method was improved the symmetry of affected side and non affected side. Sling exercise with appropriate type of sling cord should be increased activities of affected side and improved recovery in stroke patients.

  • This study planed to analyze durability of effect and result that the Medx and Sling exercise gets to the strength of lumbar extensors. 15 patients who had enforce the minimal invasive lumbar surgery were executed 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of the mixed exercises of the Medx and Sling program on lumbar trunk muscles and to present basic data for the proper exercise prescription for lumbar patients. The results were as follows: 1) Left: Patients by lumbar hernia operation of trunk muscle strength by Sling-exercise: 0, 45, 90, 135, 180 (degree) treatment periods (P<0.05). 2) Right: Patients by lumbar hernia operation of trunk muscle strength by Sling-Exercise: 0, 45, 90, 135, 180 (degree) treatment periods (P<0.05). Medx treatment, a muscle strengthening lumbar extension exercise program, was now being used at local hospitals. In addition, Sling exercise, which is designed to develop lumbar muscle by way of reducing gravity in a new way so that it can accelerate the growth of muscles and ligaments in-depth in the patients, also has begun to be introduced gradually. In this study, therefore, the new mixed program (Sling and Medx training)can used as an exercise program that can reduce pain and increase lumbar muscles, not only for disk disease patients but also for all those who have undergone surgery or who haven't undergone surgery, who have chronic pain, and it also can be utilized as basic data for the new method of exercise.
