The general concept of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) is, among other things, directly aimed at core stabilization as well as proper and “stable breathing”. DNS is based on the integration of the stabilization system which is mainly composed of intersegmental spinal muscles, deep neck flexor muscles, the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and the pelvis. Although it is a relatively recent rehabilitation and training concept, a lot of researchers focus on DNS due to its positive effects. The review started with the hypothesis that the DNS concept achieves high and positive results on the locomotor system in terms of better core stabilization, increasing the functionality of the locomotor system and quickening the rehabilitation process. The method included searching Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science for scientific material. Out of 50 reviewed scientific papers, the sample was consisted of 12 papers that are, according to their research topic, compatible with the review in question. The results of the review indicate that the DNS concept has positive effects on the functionality of the locomotor system.
