Coordination

Effective movement control through the central nervous system and muscles


Coordination is a key factor in rehabilitation, therapeutic success, and performance enhancement. It describes the precise interaction between the central nervous system (CNS) and skeletal muscles during targeted movements.

There are two main types:

  • Intramuscular coordination: Optimizes the development of strength through the targeted interaction of nerves and muscle fibers within a muscle.

  • Intermuscular coordination: Ensures the efficient cooperation of several muscles during complex movements – essential for everyday life, work, and sports.

Note: In therapy, intra- and intermuscular coordination are considered not only in the context of power development, but also in the context of motor control.

Why is coordination training so important?

Targeted coordination training is essential in medical training therapy right from the start. It improves:

  • Movement quality and safety
  • Motor learning and responsiveness
  • Sensory information processing
  • The suitability of movement execution for everyday use

Individually tailored forms of therapy ensure that the nervous system, sensory organs, muscles, and joints are ideally coordinated with one another.

Therapeutic goals

  • Reactivation and training of motor programs
  • Optimization of the afferent system
  • Improvement of movement economy
  • Training of perception and reaction
  • Integration of movement patterns relevant to everyday life Work & leisure
