Understanding Reactive Neuromuscular Training (RNT)
Before you can understand how our state-of-the-art, SpineForce Reactive Neuromuscular Trainer can take your rehabilitation efforts to the next level, it helps to have a general understanding of how Reactive Neuromuscular Training (RNT) works. RNT employs outside resistance to neurologically trigger an automatic response. It works to improve your stability and motor skills by requiring your body to react and resist to gentle applied forces. RNT helps to restore joint stability and coordination. Numerous musculoskeletal conditions and low back pain correspond with underdeveloped endurance of your lumbar and pelvic muscles. The SpineForce Reactive Neuromuscular Trainer offers you a form of kinetic exercise that relies on core stabilizers and upper extremity muscles.
How Does thee SpineForce Reactive Neuromuscular Trainer Work?
The SpineForce Reactive Neuromuscular Trainer requires your body to perform unique muscular exercises in an environment that challenges your somatosensory system. (This system informs you about objects in your external environment through your sense of touch). This type of active rehabilitation that SpineForce creates capitalizes on the natural interactions between neurological input and muscular performance. This combination has been shown to improve strength, coordination, balance and posture.
The SpineForce Trainer has an oscillating platform that creates just enough instability to require your sensory and motor systems to react and modify each other. Two handles are connected to a movable column. The patient holds these two handles which have highly-sensitive sensors that monitor the force applied on them. As the platform oscillates, the patient works to balance a target that appears on the control panel. The SpineForce device continually monitors the force applied by the patient and responds by providing appropriate resistance to exercise the core muscles and encourage the neural pathways to respond correctly. This push and pull action makes the core spinal muscles work cooperatively. The result of this coordinated effort between your muscles and brain is improved balance and postural control.
What Can the SpineForce RNT Device Offer You?
When it comes to rehabilitation, you need treatment that is effective but also gentle and safe for your condition. SpineForce offers you that safe, gentle, effective approach while offering you the following:
- Appropriate rehabilitation that can be used in conjunction with traditional training and strengthening exercises.
- A foundation of core strength by strengthening spinal muscles that are responsible for fluidity & bodily movement
- Improved proprioception (“The ability to sense stimuli arising within the body regarding position, motion, and equilibrium. Even if a person is blindfolded, he or she knows through proprioception if an arm is above the head or hanging by the side of the body. The sense of proprioception is disturbed in many neurological disorders.”)
- Better balance, range of motion, coordination, posture and equilibrium.
- Prevention for debilitating structural disorders.
- Reduced back pain associated with sports injuries and other debilitating spinal conditions
- Increased spinal fluids for improved neural responses
- A whole-body cardiovascular workout
