The patient is suspended in the middle of the cage with unique support received through the elastic cords. This type of support is extremely dynamic and provides just the right amount of support needed. This allows the patient to perform any movement or functional skill virtually "independent". The type of exercises performed in full or partial weight bearing allows the patient to develop a sense of security. They also facilitate the development and mastering of functional skills (sitting, crawling, standing, walking, climbing, jumping etc.). In this unique suspension, the patient practices different activities that help improve sensory integration. You can notice tremendous gains in balance, coordination and function

Template:Description


Spider Cage is a part of universal exercise unit .Spider cage is a suspension system, which works with use of belts, elastic cords and therasuits ( therasuits especially for cerebral palsy). 

"Spider cage". The name was given by children who were being treated in suspension system with bungee cords.


Template:Equipments used

Equipments that can be used in spider cage are:

Bungee Cords: These cords apart from being elastic provides right amount of support to patient and help patient to maintain position independently

TheraSuit (used especially with patients of cerebral palsy), was designed by Richard and Izabela Koscienlny in 2002 who are physical therapists.


Template:TheraSuit

Therasuit consists of following parts:

  • Cap
  • Vests
  • Shorts
  • Knee Pads
  • Arm attachments
  • Shoe attachments

TheraSuits are available in sizes like extra small, small, medium, large and extra large.

TheraSuit can mostly be used for patients with cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disorders. It helps in improving proprioception, reducing pathological reflexes, and promoting proper muscle movements.


Template:How it works

Patient is suspendend in between the cage with the help of cords and therasuit.Cords are dynamic and provides an appropriate amount of support with the help of which patient can perform movement independently. Like this patient can perform many exercises like crawling, standing, jumping etc. in spider cage. Performing these exercises in full or partial weight bearing will allow patient to improve sensory integration, developing sense of security and mastering respective activities. 

Spider cage can be used when a therapist have following goals to work on:

  • To increase muscle strength
  • To prevent muscle atrophies and contractures
  • To increase passive and ative ranges of joints
  • To improve balance and co-ordination 
  • To improve muscle flexibility
  • Pediartc patients with Cerebral Palsy,Neuromuscular disorders, Down's Syndrome and Developmental Delay
  • Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA)
  • Head injury
  • Musculoskeletal disorders including sports injury, rehabilitation following fractures
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Pediartc patients with Cerebral Palsy,Neuromuscular disorders, Down's Syndrome and Developmental Delay
  • Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA)
  • Head injury
  • Musculoskeletal disorders including sports injury, rehabilitation following fractures
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis


  •  Improves strength and flexibility of muscles
  • Improves balance and co-ordination
  • Promote active ranges of motion of joints
  • Helpful in post traumatic rehabilitation
  • Promotes motor learning and motor planing
  • Promotes movement with partial or full weight bearing
  • Provides sensory integration
  • Loading and unloading exercises can be done for joint compression and joint distraction
  • Improves strength and flexibility of muscles
  • Improves balance and co-ordination
