Abstract:
The popularity of the sensorimotor training is still growing. Nonetheless, the training is not yet fully investigated.
Information given by the manufacturers, in the literature and the experience of physiotherapists will
form the basis of physiotherapeutic interventions. For an integration of evidence based decision making a
change in the approach of the therapy planning is needed. This can be achieved by the use of technical support
systems. Therefore, the behavior of 32 test persons was investigated. Within two different setups several investigation
scopes were analyzed. One scope was the influence of the laterality to the muscular activity during
the training on the exerciser. Furthermore, the effects of the different equipment with regard to the information
of the literature and the manufacturers were analyzed. Additionally, a detailed investigation of the muscular
activity during the realization of tasks given by the physiotherapist was made. Also, a survey regarding the
muscula
r strain during the training as well as the acceptance of the sensors was fulfilled. Finally, factors which
have an influence on the progress of the training were identified and analyzed. The benefit and the necessity
of technical support systems in the sensorimotor training was shown.
