PNF

Question 1

PNF facilitated weak or tight muscle

Answer 1

weak

Question 2

PNF inhibited weak or tight muscle

Answer 2

tight

Question 3

what is autogenic inhibition

Answer 3

afferent fibres from a stretched muscle acting on the alpha motor neurons supplying that muscle, causing the muscle to relax

Question 4

in reciprocal inhibition the agonist is _ and the antagonist is _

Answer 4

excitatory and inhibitory

Question 5

in which type of inhibition both excitatory and inhibitory impulses when a muscle is stretched

Answer 5

autogenic

Question 6

what happened in autogenic inhibition if the stretch is held or high enough

Answer 6

GTO will overrode the excitatory impulses leaving the inhibitory impulse

Question 7

what happened during reciprocal inhibition

Answer 7

a quick stretch of the antagonist muscle facilitates contraction of the agonist

Question 8

PNF is good for

Answer 8

produce functional improvement in motor output
