Abstract
The development of an effective and inexpensive device to restore and enhance the human musculoskeletal functions is of particular interest. Sling exercise therapy (SET) is one of the most effective developed tools in rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, which has been successfully used in various applications ranging from diagnosis to treatment. To the best of our knowledge, SET has never been comprehended and reviewed previously. Therefore, it was highly required to further understand the role of SET in various therapeutic applications. Inspired by this herein, this study is dedicated to emphasize the advancement in utilization of the SET in both diagnosis and treatment as well as their related challenges. This would be concluded by future perspectives of the SET.
Highlights
There are various serious diseases affected thousands of people around worldwide such as low-back pain (LBP) and stroke
The results clearly revealed that, the activity of trunk muscles by bridge exercise with sling (BSE) is superior to both BBE and NBE respectively in supination and pronation positions (Figure 11 and Figure 12), This is due to the great effect of unstable surfaces enhance muscles activity by Sling exercise therapy (SET) compared with stable surfaces [74]
This review summarizes the SET with its correlated factors, conditions, and applications
Summary
There are various serious diseases affected thousands of people around worldwide such as low-back pain (LBP) and stroke. Those are subsequently requiring a highly efficient rehabilitation method. SET made massive progress in the rehabilitation centers, but there are no previously reported reviews on the experimental results of SET In pursuit of this aim, this review is dedicated to synopsize the most significant findings of SET in the therapeutic and diagnostic applications. This includes using SET in rehabilitations after sport injuries, stroke and LBP. This will be concluded with the current challenges and future prospective of SET
