Rhythmic Initiation. Rhythmic motion of the limb or body through the desired range, starting with passive motion and progressing to active resisted movement. Method. Start by passively moving the part in desired ROM (set a rhythm) Patient is asked to actively move the part in desired direction, return is passive.

20 sty 2013 · PNF is an exercise technique based on neurophysiological principles that uses resistance, manual contact, and stretching to facilitate muscle contraction and improve mobility through techniques like contract-relax, slow reversal, and rhythmic stabilization.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a therapeutic approach defined as promoting the response of the nerve impulses to recruit muscles through stimulation of the proprioceptors (e.g. Muscle spindle and Golgi Tendon Organs) in addition to other sensory stimuli (tactile, visual or verbal) in the beginning (i.e. at cognitive phase of ...
The goal of the PNF techniques is to promote functional move-ment through facilitation, inhibition, strength-ening, and relaxation of muscle groups. The techniques use concentric, eccentric, and static muscle contractions.

Rhythmic Stabilization involves isometric contrac-tions of the antagonistic muscle groups. In this tech-nique, motion is not intended by either the patient or the therapist. We use both reversal techniques to increase strength and range of motion. Rhythmic Stabilization works to increase the pa-
