Q

PNF

PNF philosophy (describe three)

A
  • PNF is a philosophy of treatment
  • A positive approach: set u the patient to win.
  • Movement must have a f_unctional goal._
  • Use of irradiation/overflow
  • Tapping appropriate response
  • Individuals must be looked as a whole: all systems
  • Continued activity is essential
  • The purpose of treatment is to assisst the patient in attaining the highest level of function possible through the development of the most efficient N-M system.

Q

PNF

is true that the principles of PNF can be used with or without the patient’s cooperation as they are based on sensory-motor responses of the body.

Q

PNF

In PNF, rotation is the glue of the pattern, what does that mean?

A

during a PNF pattern, althought rotation has the smallest range of excursion, is the component that connects directly to the core.

Q

PNF

what does the sentence “In the Groove” by Margaret Knott means?

A
  • when the patient is engaged in every component of the pattern,
  • when all components of the pattern are “on” correctly, the patient is said to be “in the groove”
  • the patient is stronger when “in the groove”

Q

PNF

what is “immediate induction”?

A
  • overflow
  • motion in one muscle spreads to another muscle at the same time
  • to make something happen

Q

PNF

what is “successive induction”?

A
  • Contraction of the antagonists is followed by an intensified excitation of the agonist. This is a basis for the reversal techniques.
  • mov’t is facilitated in the opposite direction from the pattern being performed.

Q

PNF

during loading response to midstance with the right foot, the right pelvis is in _____, and the R scapula in ______ ?

A
  • posterior depression
  • Anterior elevation
17
Q

PNF

during pre-swing (toe-off) with the right foot, the right pelvis is in _____, and the R scapula in ______ ?

A
  • anterior elevation
  • posterior depression
18
Q

PNF

during initial contact with the right foot, the RIGH pelvis is in _____, and the LEFT scapula in ______ ?

A
  • anterior depression
  • anterior depression
19
Q

PNF

during loading response with the right foot, the RIGH pelvis is in _____, and the LEFT scapula in ______ ?

A
  • posterior depression
  • posterior depression
20
Q

PNF

what are contralateral reciprocal patterns of the pelvis and scapula during gait?

A

the same: ex. during heel strike (initial contact) the R pelvis is in anterior depression and the L scapula is also in anterior depression

21
Q

PNF

what PNF technique aid in initiation and learning of motion, improve coordination and sense of motion, and help the patient to relax?

A

Rhythmic Initiation

22
Q

PNF

what PNF technique uses combined concentric, eccentric, and stabilizing contractions of one group of muscles (agonists) without relaxation?

A

combination isotonics

23
Q

PNF

Which PNF technique includes concentric active movement in one direction followed by concentric active movement in opposite direction without pause or relaxation. In normal life, we often see this kind of muscle activity: throwing a ball, bicycling, walking etc.

A

Dynamic Reversals

24
Q

PNF

what PNF technique would be indicated for a patient with decreased eccentric control, decreased AROM, and lack of active motion within the range of motion?

A

combination of isotonics

25
Q

PNF

Which PNF technique includes alternating isometric contractions opposed by enough resistance to prevent motion. The command is a dynamic command (“don’t let me push you”) and the therapist allows only a very small movement?

A

Stabilizing Reversals

26
Q

PNF

what is the physiological principle behind the “hold-relax” and “contract-relax” techniques?

A

Autogenic inhibition effect

(GTO will relax the same muscle)
