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 ...
PNF seems to be a promising intervention for improving lower limb movement coordination in Cerebral palsy children. Further investigations are certainly needed to assess.

18 wrz 2021 · PNF PATTERNS. The PNF patterns are concerned with gross movement as opposed to specific muscle actions. The techniques identified previously can be superimposed on any of the PNF patterns.
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).
7 sie 2016 · Major findings: Seventy-four sources that were found were categorized in: (A) PNF philosophy, (B) PNF basic principles and procedures, (C) PNF techniques in rehabilitation.
PNF allows the patient to understand what normal movement feels like through the use of various senses through use of manual contacts to cue the patient and facilitate movement. Primarily, PNF treatment techniques focus on three things:
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) was developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s as a means of rehabilitation for neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and poliomyelitis.
