Abstract

The purpose of this study was conducted to find out the effect on balance and foot pressure when performing Sling exercise and Togu exercise in an office worker with a spinal disease. As office workers spend more time working on computers, the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders such as neck pain and shoulder and back pain is also on the rise. Among the various exercise methods, it has been reported that Sling exercise continuously relieves pain in patients with the nervous system and musculoskeletal system, increases posture control and dynamic balance ability, and strengthens the muscles involved in the stability of the torso and joints. Togu exercise activates muscles that are not normally used by exercising on an air-filled ball, providing stimulation of the intrinsic receptor, strengthening inter body support muscle strength, and recognizing the posture of the pelvis. This study was conducted with the Sling exercise group (SEG, n=7) and the Togu exercise group (TEG, n=6) of 13 employees of k university. The results of applying the two exercises are as follows. The significant change between the groups was insignificant, but when Sling exercise was applied, there was a significant difference in balance and foot pressure.
