PRINCIPLES OF DNS TREATMENT PRINCIPLES OF DNS TREATMENT

Critical component of DNS concept § Well centrated support
§ All joint centration
§ Active exercise addresses not only muscles, but also the
CNS (BRAIN EDUCATION) § Muscle coordination and balance
§ The movement must be slow to promote awareness of § Spine uprighting
the movement (BODY AWARENESS) § Correct respiration
§ Quality of the movement more important than Quantity § Resistance must be adequate to level of quality and
stabilization
§ Patient must be able to distinguish
§ The resistance must be adequate to the weakest
between correct and incorrect performance segmental link of stabilizing system
§ DNS exercises must be integrated into ADL § Micro-progression in loading
§ Adequate progression (from stabile to more unstable
position)
EXERCISE AGAINST RESISTANCE EXERCISE AGAINST RESISTANCE

Planned = Anticipatory movement is resisted! Planned = Anticipatory movement is resisted!
Stepping forward Arm Stepping forward Leg
§ Shoulder: FL, ABD, ER § Hip: FL, ABD, ER
§ Elbow: Semi-FLEX
§ Knee: FLEX
§ Forearm: from PRO to SUP
§ Foot: PRON, more towards DF
§ Wrist: Radial deviation, MTC ABD, grasp-like position
Supporting Leg
§ Supporting Arm
§ Hip: Towards - EXT, ADD, IR+ ER activity
§ Shoulder: Towards - EXT, ADD, IR
§ Elbow: held Semi-FLEX § Knee: Towards EXT
§ Forearm: PRON § Foot: SUP more towards PF
§ Wrist: Radial deviation, MTC ABD, grasp-like position § These are movements you may resist during
active exercise
PRINCIPLES OF DNS TREATMENT 1.TO IMPROVE THE SAGITTAL STABILIZATION

Sagittal stabilization ensures: § Manual release of rigid
segments which impede
1. Centration of segments (focusing on support neutral initial position (joint
mobilizations, soft tissues
points) technics,etc):
§ C, T, L spine
2. Differentiation of muscle function within the § Chest
global motor patterns: § Pelvis
§ Stepping forward or supporting function § Providing balanced muscle
§ In ipsi- or contra-lateral patterns activity of trunk stabilizers

2. TO IMPROVE THE JOINT CENTRATION 3.DIFFERENTIATION OF FUNCTIONS IN

§ Focus on global parameters GLOBAL MOTOR PATTERNS
§ Crucial is centrated positions § According to key problem find the ideal position
of the chest, spine and pelvis § in ipsi or contra lateral pattern
§ Local parameters influenced
manually by:
§ Approximation
§ Distraction
§ Correct support
§ Active approach
§ Balanced muscle coactivation
§ Active proper support
§ in closed or open kinetic chain

Exercise is provided :
§ In static initial position We can use:
§ Movement
§ Just the movement of § Locomotion phases,
the phasic extremity (the transition phases
initiation of the mvt OR § Initiation of movement
whole ROM)
§ Whole range of transition
§ Assisted or leaded mvt
§ Mvt imagery is required § Forwards
§ Resisted movements § Backwards
(against gravity, T band,
weight, Kettle Bell)
THERAPY AND ACTIVE EXERCISE ACTIVE EXERCISE TO ACHIEVE

1. Manual treatment SAGITTAL STABILIZATION
§ Release of the ribcage and pelvis
§ Release of the abdominal wall and e.spinae § Activation of lower
abdominal wall, especially
2. IAP distribution with correct activation of medio-caudally from ASIS
diaphragm
3. Active exercise to achieve sagittal Instruction
stabilization § Inhale as far as above the
groin, increase the IAP
adequately
§ Exhale and maintain that
relative expansion of
abdominal wall

ACTIVE EXERCISE TO ACHIEVE SAGITTAL

STABILIZATION
BEFORE INSTRUCTION AFTER INSTRUCTION
Goal § First with legs supported
§ Spine axially elongated
§ Chest in expiratory
position
§ Parallel position of
diaphragm and pelvic
floor § Later without legs support
§ Equal distribution of IAP
independent on
respiration
§ Equal activation of
abdominal wall
VARIATIONS OF ACTIVE EXERCISES ARM FLEX/EXT – OPEN KINETIC CHAIN (OKC)

§ Movement of extremities against resistance
§ C-spine flexion without chin poke § Sagittal stabilization
§ During any movement of extremities/head sagittal § Isolated movement in glenohumeral joints

EXERCISES IN SITTING POSITION

EXERCISES IN SITTING POSITION –
(8-9 MONTH OF DEVELOPMENT) ACTIVATION OF ABDOMINALS
§ Lean trunk back about
20 degrees

SUMMARY
Cooperation of patient is needed:

§ Motivation of patient
§ Variations of position, number of repetitions, volume of
loading is strictly individual and can vary in one patient
§ Home exercise on daily basis
§ Opportunity of self correction or be checked
§ Short exercises which can be provided in ADL (working
position,…)
§ 3-5 times a day for 6-8 weeks with focus
