30 wrz 2010 · This study’s purpose was to measure shoulder muscle activation during a PNF diagonal extension pattern (D2) using manual and elastic band resistance. Thirty-eight adults (mean age, 25.6±3.0...
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 most common PNF techniques used by most of the studies were, hold-relax and contract-relax in upper limb D2 flexion, abduction, and an external rotation pattern, while some studies used scapular PNF patterns.
20 kwi 2022 · This pilot study used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) observation to assess the improvement of the local structure of the shoulder joint upon PNF treatment to elucidate a target based on structure for the treatment of frozen shoulder.
1 kwi 2021 · The PNF scapula pattern is a movement control that improves the dynamic stabilization of the scapula in patients with shoulder joint dysfunction . The PNF technique was performed with “normal timing” for the entire pattern and with “timing for emphasis” emphasizing the scapula position.
10 maj 2017 · Single-session therapy with the use of the techniques and patterns of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation can improve both the active and passive range of shoulder movement. 3. Physiotherapy based on the PNF concept is positively perceived by patients.
20 kwi 2022 · A visual analog scale (VAS) and passive shoulder range of motion (ROM) at abduction, anteflexion and external rotation position were used to evaluate the improvement of shoulder joint pain and function in the initial, mid-term, and discharge of the two groups of patients.
