List the 10 procedures and principles of PNF
Body position Manual contact Verbal command Vision Irradiation
Resistance Stretch Traction and approximation Timing Patterns
This procedure is used to facilitate a SMOOTH, COORDINATED contraction. It must be APPROPRIATE. It will also change with the arc of movement
Resistance
This procedure is the SPREAD of the response of STIMULATION
Irradiation
This procedure gives the patient information about the direction of movement. A lumbrical grip is often utilized
Manual contact
This procedure explains how the therapist is in line with the desired motion to provide guidance and control
Body position
This procedure must be simple and clear. The tone of the command significantly influences the QUALITY of the response. The direction and type of contraction can be indicated
Verbal command
This procedure helps the patient to control, direct, and learn the movement. Can influence total body movement and crossing of midline
Vision
This procedure is the use of muscle elongation and the stretch reflex to facilitate contraction and decrease muscle fatigue
Stretch
This technique is used for elongation or compression of the limbs and the trunk
Traction and approximation
This technique is the sequencing of motion
Timing
This technique is synergistic mass movements
