Abstract:

In early 1950s Swiss neurologist Brügger developed a concept of “Diagnostic and treatment of functional disorders of locomotor system”. His approach is widely used in Europe, particularly in German-speaking countries. Many of the principles of Brügger’s work are now considered part of the modern “standard care”. The milestones of Brügger’s concept: (1) Central motor regulation as the main cause of the impaired function of the musculoskeletal system; (2) complexity of any movement; (3) interplay between body segments and cog wheel model; (4) trigger factors and their overlay as basic principle of the assessment . Areas in which can be used today Brügger concept or therapeutical elements from this concept and documented by examples of research. Focus will be done on demonstration of various procedures and/or exercises to improve function of musculoskeletal system.
