Kahoot: PNF techniques & balances Flashcards
Which technique would be BEST utilized when teaching someone a PNF pattern for the FIRST time?
Dynamic reversals
Repeated contraction
Rhythmic Initiation
Rhythmic stabilization
rhythmic initiation
T/F: the “hold-relax” stretching technique is typically performed at a point of limitation of PROM
false
Which of the following describes what the technique of “combination of isotonics” is?
Cocontraction of muscles
Low load resistance to the agonist and then antagonist muscle groups
Concentric, isometric and eccentric contraction without loss of tension
Isotonic and concentric contractions against resistance in reversing order
concentric, isometric, and eccentric contraction without loss of tension
T/F: in the contract-relax stretching technique, the pt creates a strong contraction against the therapist for 5-8 seconds
true
Which PNF technique would you perform for a weak muscle that lost strength mid-range of a diagonal pattern?
Repeated stretch (contraction)
Rhythmic stabilization
Hold-Relax
Isometric reversals
repeated stretch (contraction)
T/F: when applying resistance to perform a “stabilizing reversal,” the resistance should be low load and slowly build up
true
A patient who is nervous to perform PNF may benefit from which PNF technique?
Rhythmic Stabilization
Repeated Contractions
Rhythmic Initiation
Isotonic Reversals
rhythmic initiation
T/F: The first step in performing rhythmic initiation is PROM
true
T/F: when performing rhythmic stabilization to the trunk, motion should occur
flase
When performing the technique, “Combination of Isotonics” what order are the contractions occurring in?
Concentric > Isometric > Eccentric
Isometric > Concentric > Eccentric
Eccentric > Isometric > Concentric
Isometric > Eccentric > Concentric

T/F: a “Repeated Contraction” is initiated by a QUICK STRETCH.
true
