Active joint stabilization is a rehabilitation technique that focuses on strengthening the muscles around a joint to provide better support and prevent injury. This training is especially important for joints prone to instability or injury, such as the knee, shoulder, or ankle. The goal is to improve the joint's stability and functionality during dynamic movements like walking, running, or sports.
Exercises commonly used for active joint stabilization include resistance training, balance drills, and proprioceptive exercises that activate and strengthen the stabilizing muscles around the joint.
Active joint stabilization is essential for reducing the risk of injury, improving mobility, and enhancing athletic performance by restoring optimal joint function.
