PNF techiques Flashcards
agonistics techniques
rhythmic initiation
stretching at the beginning of range
stretching through the range
combination of isotonic
replication
Rhythmic initiation
teaching
starting with v.c
going back with no v.c
stretching at the beginning of the range
initiation of the movement
always v.c
muscle strength 1-2-3
stretching through the range
tiredness
muscle strength 3-4
resistance
v.c
active motion
combination of isotonic
starting with resistance in concentric
going back slowly with asking the patient not to help
no change in resistance
no change in hand position
eccentric is weak
replication
false movement
antagonistic technique
stabilizing reversal
dynamic reversal
rhythmic stabilization
irradiation of antagonist to agonist
stabilizing reversal
for stabilization and balance
apply resistance always
dynamic reversal
start from the pattern
resistance never stop
for motion that requires sudden change in the direction
antagonist are strong
rhythmic stabilization
for joints
start from opposite of the joint
push-pull 3-5 seconds
relaxation techniques
hold relax
contract relax
hold relax
start from the pattern
isometric
go to the limited range
change the hand and ask the patient to hold for 10sec
relax for5sec
contract relax
concentric
start from the pattern
contract for 10 seconds and relax
