Abstract
Basis: The principle of dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation (DNS) is, that certain motor programmes are genetically predetermined and lead to anticipated motor development. These motor models or programmes are formed as central nervous system matures.
Dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation also points out the correlation between CNS maturation and structural or anatomic development of bone, muscle and other soft tissue. Maturation of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) influence the development of motor programmes.
Aim of this article is to summarize the available studies on effectiveness of dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation concept. Therapeutic methodology of DNS is based on careful assessment of motion quality and stabilisation in order to support integrated stabilisation system of the spine via specific functional exercises, based on certain positions from developmental kinesiology.
Recommendations for practice: Dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation has a wide - range of use in rehabilitation. It is most commonly used in the therapy of pain.
In the therapy of neurological diseases, from the rehabilitation point of view, has DNS also its logical use. Potential effect seems to have also the application of dynamic neuromuscular rehabilitation in sport.
