PNF & Stretching Checkout Flashcards
What is PNF?
-proprioceptive neuromusclular fascilitation
-functional diagonal and neuro facilitation to improve control and function
Improve: stabilization, strength, endurance, control, agonist/antagonish, trains nerves

Rhythmic Initiation
-PT guiding through ROM
-for pts with difficulting initiating
-improves controlled mmts
-AROM, PROM, AAROM
Repeated Contractions
-jerking motions
-PT stretches in jerks pt while going through the RROM
-strengthens weak agonists
-need AROM and RROM
Slow Reversal
-kind of reversal of antagonist
-function changes in agonist to antagonist mmt
-contant resistance applied through ROM
-strong concentric of agonist followed by less strong eccentric of antagonist
Slow Reversal Hold
-kind of reversal of antagonist
-function changes in agonist to antagonist mmt
-contant resistance applied through ROM with isometric hold at end of range
-better detection of joint/space tension
Alternating Isometrics
-most common
-isometric hold of agonist then antagonist
-alternatting resistance to opposite muscles
-no ROM, inproves stabilization
Rhythmic Stabilization
-isometric hold of agonist AND antagonist (co-contraation)
-simultaneous multidirectional resistance to opposite muscles
-no ROM, inproves rotary stabilization
Stretching Time
10-30s hold
