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 ...

Anterior stretch-lifting of the posterior basal area (Basal Lift), Abdominal co-contraction and Intercoastal stretch has improved spontaneous tidal volume(Vt), minute volume(Ve) and middle chest expansion in short term mechanical ventilated patients
13 kwi 2021 · The proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching could improve the contractile capacity of respiratory muscles, but the effect on pulmonary function, when it is combined with aerobic training, remains unknown.
15 sty 2022 · Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is one of the physiotherapy concepts including manual techniques and verbal stimulation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the feasibility of PNF techniques in mechanically ventilated (MV) ICU patients.
3 kwi 2012 · Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique utilized to improve muscle elasticity and has been shown to have a positive effect on active and passive range of motions (Funk et al., 2003; Lucas and Koslow, 1984; Wallin et al., 1985).
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching combined with aerobic training on pulmonary function and neck/shoulder mobility in COPD outpatients. METHODS: 60 stable COPD outpatients were divided into two groups randomly.
1 sty 2008 · The best PNF pattern for inducing muscle irradiation to muscles recruited during the sit-to-stand task are lifting to the right, LL2, and LL1.
