PNF Flashcards
isotonic contraction of antagonist then have them relax and take them passively to new range.
Contract relax
isotonic contraction of antagonist then have them relax and they actively go in new range.
CRAC - contract relax active contract
contract relax uses
autogenic inhibtion
agonist contract uses
reciprocal inhibtion
all stretching - contract/ hold relax and agonist contract are
mobility
contract antagonist and agonist relaxes
GTO- autogenic inhibtion
isometric contraction, relax take passively in new range.
Hold relax
isometric contraction, relax and take actively in new range.
HCAR - hold relax active relax
isometric contraction of agonist, relax and increase motion through reciprocal inhibition.
agonist contract
contracting agonist and antagonist at same time
reciprocal inhibtion
concentric isotonic contraction of the agonist followed by eccentric contraction.
agonistic reverseal
agonistic reverseal is used for
skill, controlled mobility
isometric contraction in agonist pattern, followed by isometric contraction of antagonist.
alternating isometrics
alternating isometrics are
stability
passive-> active assist-> active- > resistive which is Isotonic movement
If you have a pt. w/ spasticity or increased tone you may not add this technique.
*use for pt. w/ motor planning deficits or issue imitating movement (classic for = parkinsons)
rhythmic initiation
