Chattanooga Group, Inc.
Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback is a simple device used to provide feedback to ensure quality, and precision in exercise performance and testing. Monitors the position of the low back and provides feedback to the health professional and patient when the abdominal muscles are not actively or effectively protecting the spine.
Product Information*:
The Stabilizer, designed by physical therapists, is
a simple device, which registers changing pressure
in an air filled pressure cell. This allows body movement, especially spinal movement, to be detected
during exercise. The unit consists of a combined gauge/inflation bulb connected to a pressure cell.
The Stabilizer is principally used in exercises that
focus on the protection and stabilization of joints.
Research has shown these types of exercise are especially
important for the prevention and treatment of lower back
and neck pain (of various pathologies). The exercise
techniques discussed in this instruction manual involve
slow and controlled body movement. The Stabilizer is used to monitor and provide feedback on body movement
during exercise. This promotes effective exercise to
improve back and neck pain.
