Abstract

  Musculoskeletal disorders are bane not only for sportsmen but many ordinary people that are not engaged in sports. Studies have shown that pain, injury and inactivity can disturb our neuromuscular systems. It is well documented that pain and inactivity reduce muscle force and activation patterns. Neurac is an abbreviation for NEURomuscularACtivation, it’s a treatment method that aims to regain normal functional movement patterns in patients with musculoskeletal disorders by using high levels of neuromuscular stimulation. The developmentof the new Neurac method has emerged from the S­E­T concept (Suspension Exercise Therapy). Kinetic chains, these are the chain of events that affects the movement of neighboring joints and segments. With the neurac method ‘weak link testing’ is performed in order to assess the body’s performance. Open and closed kinetic chains exercises combined with neurac method has provided results of better muscular activation. Suspension training provides alternative instability to the core, upper and lower limbs. The instability is supposed to activate or increase muscle activation which helps in stabilisation. The existing literature is insufficient to draw confirm conclusion regarding its ability to do muscle activation. 

Keywords: eurac Training; Weak Muscle Links; Muscle Activation.
