PNF Therapeutic Exercise Descriptions

TermDefinition
Agonistic Reversals Controlled mobility, skill: Isotonic concentric contraction performed against resistance followed by alternating concentric and eccentric contractions w/ resistance
Alternating Isometrics Stability: Isometric contractions alternating from muscles on one side of the joint to the other side w/o rest.
Contract-relax Mobility: to increase ROM. A maximal contraction of the antagonistic muscle group is done at the point of limitation in the range.
Hold-relax Mobility: isometric contraction to increase ROM. Contraction is facilitated for all muscle groups at the limiting point in the ROM. When relaxed a new ROM occurs. Used for pt's with pain.
Hold-relax active movement Mobility: To improve initiation of movement; MMT at 1/5 or less; Isometric contraction in a shortened range, when relaxed move into a lengthened position w/ a quick stretch; then return to shortened position through an isotonic contraction
Joint distraction Mobility: Proprioceptive component to increase ROM; Consistent manual traction provided slowly and usually in combination w/ mobilization techniques
Normal timing Skill: To improve coordination of all components of a task; distal to proximal sequence done in components. Repetition of the pattern produces a coordinated movement of all components
Repeated contractions Mobility: To initiate movement and sustain a contraction through the ROM. A quick stretch is followed by isometric or isotonic contractions
Resisted progression Skill: To emphasize coordination of proximal components during gait. Resistance is applied to a joint during the gait cycle in order to enhance coordination, strength, or endurance.
Rhythmic initiation Mobility: to assist in initiating movement when hypertonia exists. let me move you --> help me move you --> move against the resistance
Rhythmical rotation Mobility: to decrease hypertonia by slowly rotating an extremity around the longitudinal axis.
Rhythmic stabilization Mobility, stability: to increase ROM and coordinate isometric contractions; isometric contractions of all mm around a joint against progressive resistance
Slow reversal Stability, controlled mobility, skill: Concentric contractions of agonists and antagonists w/o rest between reversals
Slow reversal hold Stability, controlled mobility, skill: Slow reversals w/ an isometric contraction performed at the end of each movement in order to gain stability
Timing for emphasis Skill: to strengthen the weak component of a motor patter. Isotonic and isometric contractions produce overflow to weak mm.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
