L3 Part 3: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Flashcards

1
Q

What is the definition of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)? Who proposed this?

A

PNF is a technique of promoting or hastening the response of the neuromuscular system by stimulating its proprioceptors; This was proposed by Herman Kabat (not sure if kasama si Maggie Knott)

Q

Principles Governing PNF: Which principle stated that the brain knows nothing of
individual muscle action but
knows only movement? (e.g. Ang alam lang ng brain ay may “taga-flex” pagfinofold yung elbow)

Q

Principles Governing PNF: Which principle stated that a pattern of movement is
facilitated when resistance is
applied to that motion so
that contraction from the
stronger muscles flow to the
weak muscles?

Q

Principles Governing PNF: Which principle stated that when a muscle is put on
stretch for a prolonged
amount of time or contracts
isometrically, the GTO is
activated and inhibits the
tension, allowing the muscle
to relax and elongate. This
elongation during a stretch
or extreme tension helps
prevent the possible tearing
of a tendon or muscle.

A

Autogenic Facilitation

Q

What are the six (6) goals of PNF?

A

● To inc demands made by voluntary effort
● To initiate reflex actions and interaction with the antagonist
● To strengthen weak musculature
● To promote movement limited by pain
● To enhance functional activities
● To promote balance of tone

Suggested Mnemonic: PEPSII

Q

What are the (4) overall objectives of PNF?

A

● To hasten the recovery of normal function
● To attempt to establish or reestablish optimum function as quickly as possible
● Mass movement patterns of facilitation are spiral and diagonal in character and closely resemble the movements used in sports and in work activities
● Each diagonal is made up of two patterns that are antagonistic to each other.

Suggested Mnemonic: HAMOD

Q

What are the three major components of PNF?

A

● Flexion or Extension
● Motion towards and across (Adduction) or motion across and away (Abduction) from midline with reference to extremity pivots
● External rotation (supination and inversion) or internal rotation

Suggested Mnemonic: FEM
