Like this patient can perform many exercises like crawling, standing, jumping 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:

- Musculoskeletal disorders including sports injury, rehabilitation following fractures
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
Advantages[edit | edit source]
- 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
