Abstract:
The importance and the attractivity of the sensorimotor training is still growing. Up to now the impact of
the training on the body is not yet fully investigated. Hence, nowadays the planning of the therapy is mainly
based on the experiences of the physiotherapist and on the conditions of the practice. For the development
of the therapy the physiotherapist is supported by manufacturer’s information about the exercisers as well as
by general assumptions regarding the sensorimotor training. For the validation of this information two setups
were investigated. In the first part, the behavior of two students was studied on three exercisers. Here the EMG
data and the motion data were analyzed. In the second part, the behavior of the left and the right body side
was analyzed for 16 subjects. The study revealed that the major work for the maintenance of the equilibrium is
done by the distal musculature. Furthermore, it was shown that there is a different behavior of the musculature
at both b
ody sides. Additionally, it has been proven that each test person had an individual behavior on the
exercisers. Consequently, it would be hard to make general assumptions regarding the impact of the training
on the body.
