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
rhythmic initiation is for
controlled mobility, mobility
get patient out of spasticity or abnormal synergistic patterns then WB that extremity
Rotate the muscle around the axis so that way it takes them out of the abnormal pattern.
rhythmic rotation
rhythmic rotation is for
mobility
isometric contraction, simultaneously of the agonist and the antagonist around the joint on a rotational component.
rhythmic stabilization
rhythmic stabilization is for
stability
isotonic motion through the range concentrically in the agonist direction.
slow reversal
slow reversal is
controlled mobility
an isotonic motion through the range concentrically in the agonist direction.
but at the weakest part of range you do an isometric hold
slow reversal hold
slow reversal hold is
controlled mobility, stability
resist the skill they are trying to do
resisted progression (skill)
stimulate muscle spindle to get contraction.
muscle tapping
muscle tapping is
mobility
facilitate flexion tone, use when they are in ext tone
traction
rhythmic compression, stimulate muscle spindle, facilitates ext, WB, co contract, proprioception
use when they’re in a flex tone
approximation
approximation is
stability
POH harder than BOE
BOE benefits:
head and scap stability due to where you apply resistance
hip ext, head/scap control
WB through elbows
opening up chest, improving posture
commando crawling
Quadruped benefits
core stabilization, head control, WB through head/ knees, proprioceptive awareness, hip/ pelvis control
wide BOS, high COM/ COG
Bridge benefits
core strength/ stability
glute activation/ hip ext strength
TA activate
bed/ hip mobility
WB through feet and scap
weight shift for pressure relief
sitting benefits
WB through ischial
weight shift for pre gt
core/ pelvis stabilization
posture/ scap control
min WB through feet
WB UE
functional posture
kneel to 1/2 kneel benefit
getting up off floor
core/ pelvis stability
posture control
WB hips and knees
quad and ham activation
lower COM will help gain better control than standing
mod plantigrade benefit
shoulder/ scap stabilization
core strength
WB through hands, feet
Glute activation
posture control
balance control- small BOS, higher Mass
standing benefits
WB through LE
functional activities
ankle hip step strategy
posture/ pelvis control
vestibular visual somatosensory systems
weight shift pre gt
abdominal control
