Q

What is the general concept and history of PNF?

A

Developed in 1940’s by Dr Herman Kabat with Margaret Knott (PT), and Dorothy Voss (PT). Based on a reflex/hierarchical model of motor control. Normal movement is based on a balance between the agonist and the antagonist muscle groups. Stronger body parts utilized to stimulate weaker parts. Initially the focus was on using resistance, stretch reflexes, approximation, traction, and manual contacts to facilitate movement. uses the developmental sequence as a guide
