PNF Techniques

Question 1

how many PNF techniques are?

Answer 1

9

Question 2

list the PNF tech

Answer 2

Rhytmic Initiation
Repeated Stretch
Replication
Combination of Isotonics (Reversal of Agonist)
Dynamic Reversal of Antagonist
Stabilizing Reversal/Dynamic Stabilization
Rhytmic Stabilization
Hold-Relax
Contract-Relax

Question 3

It can be used in patients with reduced ability to start movement due to increased tone, elderly patients, loss of position sense, impaired rhythm, coordination and speed of movement
what PNF should we use?

Answer 3

rhythmic initiation

Question 4

what are the intended uses of rhythmic initiation?

Answer 4

Teaching movement
Increasing the ability to start moving
Improving the sense of movement and coordination
Help with relaxation

Question 5

This technique can be used in people with muscle weakness, fatigue and reduced mobility
what PNF is this?

Answer 5

repeated stretch

Question 6

Increasing active joint movement
Increase strength
Prevent and reduce fatigue
Developing voluntary movement skills
can be achieved by?

Answer 6

repeated stretch

Question 7

in what patient position should be while applying repeated stretches?

Answer 7

in antagonist position

Question 8

isometric contraction is performed with 3-4 short and sudden stretches
true or false?

Answer 8

false, isotonic contractions

Question 9

hold-relax-active movement
are related to which PNF tech?

Answer 9

replication

Question 10

what are the intended uses of the replication tech?

Answer 10

Teaching the completed position of the movement
Increase endurance
Correcting the force imbalance

Question 11

Muscle should initially be placed in the agonist position in replication tech
true of false?

Answer 11

true

Question 12

in replication requires isotonic contraction
true or false?

Answer 12

false, isometric

Question 13

Improve control and coordination of movement
Increase strength
Increasing the ROM
Improve eccentric control
related to ?

Answer 13

combination of isotonics

Question 14

which position we start while applying the combination of isotonic?
agonist or antagonist?

Answer 14

antagonist

Question 15

resistance is only applied to the antagonist muscles in combination of isotonic
true or false?

Answer 15

false, in both directoins we apply resistance

Question 16

Developing active ROM
Increasing strength and endurance
Improve coordination
Prevent and reduce fatigue

for dynamic stabilization or dynamic of reversal of antagonist?

Answer 16

dynamic reversal of antagonist

Question 17

PT asks patient to perform isotonic contraction against resistance (from agonist to antagonist).
what PNF is this?

Answer 17

dynamic reversal of antagonist

Question 18

in dynamic reversal of antagonist there is resting
true or false?

Answer 18

false, there is no resting

Question 19

Improving stability and balance
increase strength
Increasing agonist-antagonist muscle contraction
are to which PNF tech?

Answer 19

dynamic stabilization

Question 20

PT starts from the direction where the movement is strong in dynamic stabilization true or false?

Answer 20

true

Question 21

there is no movement at all in dynamic stabilization \
true or false?

Answer 21

false, there is little movement

Question 22

we use hold and dont move in dynamic stabilization
true or false?

Answer 22

false, we use push and pull

Question 23

Increasing active-passive ROM
Increase strength
Improving stability and balance
Reduce pain
are achieved in ?

Answer 23

rhythmic stabilization

Question 24

movement does not occur
in?

Answer 24

rhythmic stabilization

Question 25

hold and dont move are used in rhythmic stabilization
true or false?

Answer 25

true

Question 26

It is useful to start the practice with a strong movement component to strengthen the weak muscle.
to which PNF tech is this?

Answer 26

rhythmic stabilization

Question 27

in hold and relax we increase active ROM and reduce pain
true or false?

Answer 27

false, passive ROM

Question 28

Isometric contraction is performed for 5-8 seconds without allowing movement of all agonist muscles in hold and relax tech
true or false?

Answer 28

false, antagonist muscles

Question 29

Only rotation is allowed, other components of movement are not in contract and relax
true or false?

Answer 29

true

Question 30

only the contract and relax passive ROM is increased
true or false?

Answer 30

true
