Topik 3 Pnf Flashcards
What is poprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
Therapeutic exercise that combines diagonal pattern movement to evoke motor response, improve neuromuscular control and function
Goals of Pnf
-Develop muscle strength and endurance
-Increase using muscle lengthening and relaxation
- as foundation for restoration of function
Pnf can facilitate..
Mobility
Stability
Neuromuscular control
Coordinate movement
State the pattern of pnf
Multi joint
Multi planar
Diagonal
Rotational
Manual contact
How/where therapist hand, allow apply resistance, lumbrical grip
Maximal resistance
Increase strength, help pt relax, increase motor control
Position/movement of therapist
Along the diagonal movement, resistance apply through body weight, wide bos
Stretch
Body segment lengthened, muscle contract, increase strength
Traction
Slight separation of joint surface, most apply during flexion
2 types of strengthening technique
Repeated contraction/ slow reversal
Repeated contraction
Normal timing - lots muscle gp, lots of effort, complete ROM
Timing for emphasis- specific muscle gp, less effort, not complete ROM
4 types of stretching
Hold relax
Contract relax
Antagonist contract
Contract relax contract
What is rhythmic stabilization and Rhythm technique?
Rhythmic stabilization - maintain ‘hold’ position
Rhythm technique - repeated motion rhythm, speed
Contraindication of PNF
Pain
Acute inflammation
Myopathy
