PNF 1/8 Flashcards

1
Q

PNF philosophy

A
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

Agonist reversals
Slow reversal
Slow rehearsal hold

A

controlled mobility

21
Q
what level of motor control-  
Normal timing
Slow reversal
Slow reversal hold
Timing for emphasis
A

Skill

Distal functional movement

22
Q

what level of motor control-
Agonist reversal
Resisted progression

A

Scale

Proximal dynamic stability

23
Q
what level of motor control- 
Alternating isometrics
Repeated contractions
Resisted progression
Timing for
A

Strength

24
Q

Isotonic concentric contraction performed against resistance followed by alternating concentric and eccentric contractions with resistance

A

Agonistic reversals

controlled mobility, skill

25
Q

Isometric contractions performed alternating from muscle on one side a joint so other side without rest
Emphasizes endurance are strengthening

A

Alternating isometric

Stability- Progress to rhythmic stabilization

26
Q

Mobility technique to increase range of motion
As extremity reaches point of limitation, patient max contracts antagonistic muscle group
Therapist resist movement for 8 to 10 seconds followed by relaxation
Repeat Until no further gains

A

Contract relax

Mobility

27
Q

Isometric contraction to increase range of motion
Contract until limiting points, relax, move into new acquired range to next limit
Often used for pain

A

Hold relax

Mobility

28
Q

Improve initiation to muscle group 1/5 or less

A

Hold relax active movement

29
Q

Passively place extremity in shortened range in pattern, Isometric contraction, Overflow and facilitate contraction
When relax extremity immediately moved into length in position with quick stretch
Ask patient to return extremity to shorten position with isotonic contraction

A

Hold relax active movement

Mobility-initiate movement

30
Q

Consistent manual traction provided slowly in combination with mobilization techniques
Can combine with quick stretch to initiate movement

A

Join distraction

Mobility - increase range of motion, initiate movement

31
Q

Improve coordination of all components of a task
Proximal component restricted until distal components activated and then initiate movement
Perform distal to proximal sequence

A

Normal timing

Skill

32
Q

Initiate movement and sustained contraction through range of motion
Initiate movement pattern through weak movement pattern or point of weakness within movement pattern
Therapist provides quick stretch
follow with isometric isotonic contraction

A

Repeated contractions

Mobility

33
Q

Emphasize coordination of proximal components during gait

Resistance added to pelvis, hips, extremity during gait to enhance coordination, strength for

A

Resisted progression

Skill

34
Q

Assist initiating movement with hypertonia
Tell patient let me move you for passive movement
Progress to help me move you active assistance
Progress to move against resistance

A

Rhythmic initiation

Mobility

35
Q

what movement qualities of rhythmic initiation help produce hypertonia and allow for full range of motion

A

Slow and rhythmical

36
Q

Increase range of motion and coordinate isometric contractions
Isometric contract All muscles around joint against progressive resistance
Patient relaxes and move into new range, repeat technique

A

Rhythmic stabilization

Mobility,

37
Q

Passive technique to decrease hypertonia by slowly rotating extremity around longitudinal axis
Relaxation increase his range of motion

A

Rhythmical rotation

38
Q

Slow and resisted concentric contraction around a joint without rest between reversals;
can add isometric contraction at end for more stability
Improve control movement and posture

A

Slow reversal
Slow reversal hold
Stability, control mobility, skill

39
Q

Strengthen week component of a motor pattern

Isotonic an isometric contractions produce overflow too weak muscles

A

Timing for emphasis
