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 created by children who wore the belt with attachments of 8-10 bungee cords.

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
