“…In particular, sensorimotor training on an unstable supporter lead-ing to redistribution of muscles tone, activation of balance coordination, and increasing the sensory feedback via counterbalancing among both nervous and muscles system. Consequently, balance is restored through enhancement of the feed-back response of the motor system, co-contraction levels, and joint stability [4] [20]. In this regard, various reports revealed that, sensorimotor training on an unstable surface drove the activation of various co-contracted muscles such as deltoid, triceps, and spine muscles.…”

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.

“…However, Lister et al 20 ) reported that FB for shoulder-stabilizing exercises increased scapular activity more than that with general resistance devices. Concurrently, Eom et al 21 ) argued that exercises that provide dynamic environments increase myotility due to increases in myofibrils that engage in motor control. Additionally in rehabilitation programs for patients with shoulder pathology, the importance of muscle strengthening of the trapezius and the SA, which are scapular upward rotators, is further emphasized 22 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare shoulder stabilization muscle activities according to postural changes during flexi-bar exercise. [Subjects] The subjects included 18 students (10 males, 8 females) at B University. [Methods] The subjects performed the following flexi-bar exercises: 1) medio-lateral oscillation with the 90° shoulder abduction, with the hand in the neutral position; 2) dorso-ventral oscillation with 90° shoulder flexion, with the hand in the neutral position; 3) superior-inferior oscillation with 90° shoulder flexion, with the 80° hand pronation. [Results] The activity of the serratus anterior showed significant differences between each position; however, activities of the upper trapezius and middle trapezius were not significantly different. [Conclusion] The results of this study indicate that posture control is important for selective strengthening of the serratus anterior muscle during flexi-bar exercises.

“…In a study involving 51 patients with chronic low back pain, Saliba et al 11 ) demonstrated that bridge exercises on an unstable support surface provided by slings were more effective at increasing TrA muscle activity than bridge exercises on stable bearing surfaces as measured by ultrasonography. Eom et al 12 ) reported that bridging exercises performed by healthy persons using slings as an unstable support surface showed larger increases in TrA thicknesses than bridging exercises performed by the same persons on stable bearing surfaces. In a study conducted by Brumagne et al 13 ) with chronic low back pain patients, in which proprioceptive sense exercises and local vibrations were additionally applied, proprioceptive stimuli and deep muscle control abilities of the subjects improved.…”

[Purpose] This study examined the effects of closed chain exercises performed with local vibration applied to an unstable support surface on the thickness and length of the transverse abdominis. [Subjects] The subjects were 64 healthy university students who were randomly assigned to a bridge exercise with sling and vibration group (BESVG, n=30) and a bridge exercise with sling group (BESG, n=34). [Methods] The bridge exercise was repeated four times per set and a total of 18 sets were performed: 9 sets in a supine position and 9 sets in a prone position. In both the BESVG and the BESG groups, the thickness and length of the transverse abdominis (TrA) were measured using ultrasonography with the abdomen “drawn-in” and the pressure of a biofeedback unit maintained at 40 mmHg, both before and after the intervention. [Results] In intra-group comparisons, the BESVG showed significant increases in the thickness of the TrA and significant decreases in the length of the TrA. The BESG showed significant increases in the thickness of the TrA. The BESVG showed significant increases in the thickness of the TrA and significant decreases in the length of the TrA compared to BESG. [Conclusion] Closed chain exercises for the lumbar region performed with local vibration applied to slings, which are unstable support surfaces, are an effective intervention for altering the thickness and length of the TrA.
