neuro18 PNF
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) was introduced | in the early 1950's using the hierarchical model as its framework. |
| The original goal of PNF treatment was | to lay down gross motor patterns within the central nervous system. |
| PNF approach is based on | the premise that stronger parts of the body are utilized to stimulate and strengthen the weaker parts. |
| PNF Normal movement and posture is based on | a balance between control of antagonist and agonist muscle groups. |
| Development will follow | the normal sequence through a component of motor learning. |
| PNF theory places great emphasis | on manual contacts and correct handling. Short and concise verbal commands are used along with resistance throughout the full movement pattern. |
| The PNF approach utilizes methods that | promote or hasten the response of the neuromuscular mechanism through stimulation of the proprioceptors. |
| PNF Movement patterns follow . | diagonals or spirals that each possess a flexion, extension, and rotatory component and are directed toward or away from midline |
| Chopping:. | A combination of bilateral upper extremity asymmetrical extensor patterns performed as a closed-chain activity |
| Developmental sequence: | A progression of motor skill acquisition. The stages of motor control include mobility, stability, controlled mobility, and skill. |
| Mass movement patterns: | The hip, knee, and ankle move into flexion or extension simultaneously. |
| Overflow: | Muscle activation of an involved extremity due to intense action of an uninvolved muscle or group of muscles. |
| A patient learns | diagonal patterns of movement |
| PNF Techniques | must have accurate timing, specific commands, and correct hand placement |
| PNF Verbal commands | must be short and concise |
| PNF Repetition | is important in motor learning |
| PNF Resistance | given during the movement pattern is greater if the objective is stability, less if the objective is mobility |
| PNF Techniques | utilize isometric and isotonic muscle contractions |
| PNF Treatment objectives will | dictate the use of techniques through either full movement or at points within the range |
| PNF Developmental sequence | is used in conjunction with PNF techniques in order to increase the balance between agonists and antagonists |
| PNF techniques are implemented | to progress a patient through the stages of motor control |
| PNF Functional patterns of movement | are used to increase control |
| PNF Techniques should be utilized that increase | strength or improve relaxation by enhancing irradiation from the stronger to the weaker muscles |
