Proprioceptive Neurobehavioral Approach

Question 1

PNF Concepts

Answer 1

-All human beings have potentials that are not yet developed so abilities and weaknesses are emphasized

Question 2

PNF Concept- Normal motor developments

Answer 2

Cervicocaudal and Proximodistal development

Question 3

PNF Concept- Early motor behavior

Answer 3

Dominated by reflex activity

Question 4

PNF Concept- Mature motor movements

Answer 4

supported by postural reflexes

Question 5

PNF Concept- Characteristics of early motor behavior

Answer 5

spontaneous movement
Between extremes of flexion and extension
Must attend to both directions during movement

Question 6

PNF Concept- Developing motor behavior

Answer 6

expressed in sequence of total patterns of movement and posture

Question 7

Trends of motor behavior

Answer 7

Cyclic trends
Evidenced by shifts between flexor and extensor dominance
Goal is to balance

Question 8

Normal Motor behavior

Answer 8

It has a sequence, but overlapping occurs

Question 9

Locomotion

Answer 9

depends on the reciprocal contraction of flexors and extensors and maintenance of posture requires continual readjustments

Question 10

Improvement in motor ability

Answer 10

is dependent on motor learning requires multi sensory input

Question 11

Frequent stimulation and repetitive activity

Answer 11

are used to promote motor learning

Question 12

Goal directed activities coupled with techniques of facilitation

Answer 12

Used to hasten total patterns of learning
