DEFINITION :
Treatment or therapeutic exercise given to
patients to increase ROM, increase muscle
power & support body parts by using ropes
& slings
Suspension frees the body from friction of
the material upon which the body
components may be resting & it permits
free movement without resistance

PRINCIPLES
Friction
it occur during a particular surface move on another
In suspension Friction is less, therefore causes smooth & easy
movement
Pendulum
Is heavy material suspended by the weightless thread
When the force is applied on the pendulum it results in to and fro
movement
In human body, Pendular motion occurs mainly in shoulder & hip
joints, forward leg movements &arm swings while walking
In suspension Pendular motion is used to maintain muscle property,
increase ROM & strengthening the muscles
Eliminating gravity Movement
The patient should at least have muscle power 2 for suspension therapy
exercises

Axial Suspension
Joint Axis as taken as point of suspension
Movement takes place in a gravity eliminated
plane
Limb is supported by the slings above the joint
If movement is initiated, limb will move to both
sides parallel to the floor

PENDULAR SUSPENTION
Point of suspension should be shifted away
from the joint axis
Movement usually takes place against gravity
Muscles will be getting resistance while
moving if the axis is shifted opposite to that
movement
