Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) wk3 Flashcards
prioprioceptivity deals with ___ receptors
sensory
____: effect produced in N tiss by the passage of an impulse which lowers resistance to transmission
(2nd stim is more easily evoked)
facilitation
____: therapeutic maneuver that uses proprioceptive, cutaneous and auditory input to facilitate or inhibit movement
PNF
PNF uses (3) therapeutic maneuvers to facilitate or inhibt movement
proprioceptive
cutaneous
auditory
PNF states for :
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
in osteopathy PNF is known as :
M NRG tech / procedure
PNF increases _____& ____
M length & ROM
What two stretch receptors are involved in a stretch reflex
M spindle (MS) Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO)
____ are stretch receptors who are sensitive to change in legnth and rate of change in length
M spindle
M spindles are sensitive to change in ____ and _____
change in length and rate of change in length
location of a M spindle
throughout the M
- btw regular M cells
When a M spindle is stim, it stim _______
reflex excitation of the M = contracts
when M spindle is stim the M will ____
contract
when a M is forcefully and suddenly stretched, ___ are activated and the M contracts
M spindle
_____ are sensitive to change in tension
GTO
T= tension
Location of GTO
concentrated in tendons and musculotendinous jxn
the the GTO is stim, it causes____
flex inhib. of the M (relaxes)
GTO causes the M to _____
relax
reflex inhib
______: throughout contraction of PNF, activates the GTO and neurologically induce the M to be inhib
Autogenic inhibition
contraindications for PNF (3)
- osteoporosis
- prolonged immobilization
- jt pain for more than 24 hrs
Absolute contraindications for PNF (6)
- acute inflammation
- unable to relax
- M dx
- pain before resistance
- recent fx
- abnormal jt end feel
____ before PNF willl get better ROM for better stretch/ relaxation
Manipulation
name the 6 Jt End feels
- bone to bone
- soft tis approx
- spasm
- capsular
- spingy block
- empty feeling
______: contractile tis (actin & myosin) are replaced with collagen
End feel : _______
contracture
“tight” or “leathery”
_____ is used when contraction of the agonist is tender
Reciprocal Inhibition (RI)
