Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 23, Issue 61
Abstract
Introduction. Searching for physical exercise forms attainable for people in the physical rehabilitation process that compensate for certain neurological deficits is very often seen as a challenge. Meanwhile, the ideas of H.S. Frenkel at the end of the 19th century concerning compensatory treatment movement in tabetic ataxia fulfil this condition. Method. In order to expose the actuality and therapeutic significance of Frenkel’s proposal concerning the treatment of tabetic ataxia by means of systematic exercise, an analysis of its basic premises has been provided in this article. Results. Frenkel’s movement treatment programme was based on theoretical and clinical premises, as well as on practical experience. It was not only a pioneering enterprise in neurological rehabilitation, but it also referred to the fundamental theses of physical ergonomics. The simplicity and usefulness in improving human coordination allows for using Frenkel’s programme of systematic exercise with ageing people, too.Conclusion. Frenkel’s programme of the treatment movement, in spite of its 19th century origins, remains present in physical therapy and can be used in the recreational activities with ageing people.
