PNF 1/8 Flashcards
PNF philosophy
hierarchical model establish gross motor patterns in CNS use stronger parts of body to stimulate and strengthen weaker parts use manual contacts and correct handing short, concise verbal commands resistance throughout movement pattern
what movement patterns used in PNF
diagonals toward and away from midline
developmental sequence
progress of acquiring motor skill
stages rare: mobility, stability, controlled mobility, and skill
what level of motor control is- Ability to initiate movement through functional range of
Mobility
what level of motor control is-Maintain position or posture through cocontraction and tonic holding around joint
Stability
what level of motor control is- Ability to move within weight bank position or rotate a long long access
Controlled mobility
what level of motor control is- Ability to consistently perform functional task and manipulate environment with normal postural reflex and balance reactions
skill
What type of motor control level is unsupported sitting with midline control
Stability
What type of motor control level is performing activity while prone on elbows
Control mobility
What type of motor control level is weight shifting in quadruped
Control mobility
What level of motor control is performing community ambulation
Skill
What type of muscle contractions are utilized
Isometric and isotonic
Balance between agonist and antagonistic muscles
What is muscle activation of involved extremity due to intense action of uninvolved muscles?
Overflow
Helps with strengthening or improving relaxation
what level of motor control-
Contract relax,
hold relax,
joint mobilization
Mobility by increasing range of motion
what level of motor control-
Rhythmical rotation
Rhythmic stabilization
Mobility by increasing range of motion
