Abstract
The aim of this article is to bring closer theoretical and practical aspects of S-E-T method. Norwegian physiotherapists have worked out this kinesitherapy method at the beginning of 90 of XX century. According to the creators point of view the main reason of functional dysfunction is weakness or decay of local, stabilizing muscles. This viewpoint is compatible with theoretical grounds of Brügger, Brunkow or Kleinvogelbach systems. Theoretical basis, manner of investigation and rules of exercising are described in this article. This exercises can be used both in acute as well as in chronic stages of locomotor dysfunctions. Stabilization and sensomotoric exercises making possible to regain or improve active control of activity of daily living are especially interesting.

M. Kokosz, R. Gnat, L. Wojdyła, J. Mańka – S-E-T: active stabilization of the lumbar spine. Fizjoterapia Polska 2003; 3(4); 396-400

Abstract

The purpose of this article present the mechanisms that stabilize the lumbar spine. The passive and active control systems are discussed. Principles are also presented for conducting exercises oriented towards improving the function of the so-called “local muscles”, which are responsible for maintaining the proper positioning of each vertebra relative to the others. This feed-forward mechanism protects the locomotor system from dangerous overload in both static and dynamic conditions.
