PNF Flashcards

1
Q

What are key concepts of PNF

A
  • All humans have potential not yet developed
  • normal dev. proceeds in a cephaocaudal and proximodistal pattern
  • early motor is dominated by reflex activity and mature motor movt is supported by postural reflexes
  • early motor movt. is spontaneous and moves b/t extreme of ext/flex (doesn’t have a lot of stability)
  • motor is an orderly sequence and w/in total patterns of movt
  • motor movt shifts b/t dominance of the flexors and extensors in order to dev. a balance b/t the 2
  • normal dev. is sequential but overlaps (difference b/t PNF and ROOD)
  • Balance of agonists and antagonists must occur
  • improvement in motor depends upon motor learning
  • frequency and repetition are used to promote motor learning and dev. strength and endurance (transfer of learning)
  • goal directed activities and self-care are used to facilitate total patterns of mov and motor learning

Q

Why are pnf total patterns of movement unique

A

b/c it incoporates all planes of movt w/in developmental postures that we use throughout our lives

Q

D1 flexion

A 
flexion
adduction
external rotation at the shoulder 
forearm supination 
wrist and finger flexion 
(up and across midline to reach for something from high shelf, bring something to mouth to feed, comb opposite side of hair) (elbow about nose lvl at end range)

Q

D2 flexion

A 
same as d1 but not crossing midline
flexion
abduction
external rotation
forearm supination
wrist and finger extension
(e.g. drawing a sword in fencing put things on shelf, above head task, grooming and hygiene on same side)

16
Q

What are general techniques used to facilitate patterns of mvt

A 
verbal cues
manual contacts
stretch
traction
approximation 
resistance
17
Q

What to do with verbal cues

A

change tone, volume, sharpness

18
Q

what to do with manual contacts

A

hands on body can be a guidance but make sure its purposeful

19
Q

what to do with stretch

A

quick stretch

20
Q

what to do with traction

A

separating jts. distance b/t jts. to facilitate.

21
Q

what does traction do

A

promotes strengthening and stability

22
Q

What to do with appoximation

A

like jt. compression

23
Q

what does approximation do

A

decrease pain, spasms, and spasticity

increases stability

24
Q

What to do with resistance

A

provide through any movt.

can use theraband, weights, or manually

25
Q

What are specific techniques used for

A

movement through facilitation, inhibition, strengthening, and relaxation of mm groups

26
Q

What are specific pnf techniques

A

rhythmic stabilization
contract/relax
hold relax

27
Q

what is rhythmic stabilization

A

have them hold position

can eventually do on their own

28
Q

what is isotonic

A

resistance and muscle stays the same

29
Q

what is isometric

A

resistance stays the same

muscles changes

30
Q

what to do ith contract/relax

A

isotonic contraction. provide resistance and have them push through resistance

31
Q

What are strengths of PNF

A

crossing midline
rotation is a strong component
helps regain normal movt. patterns

32
Q

wha are limitations of pnf

A

lack of research

33
Q

What does the PNF method use

A

verbal cues, manual contacts and visual cues superimposed on diagonal movt patterns to facilitate function
