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 ...
Green Light Interventions (Effective) These interventions have strong evidence supporting their effectiveness in improving outcomes for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Description: CIMT is primarily used for individuals with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy to improve the use of the affected upper limb.
PNF seems to be a promising intervention for improving lower limb movement coordination in Cerebral palsy children. Further investigations are certainly needed to assess.

To appraise the evidence on the effectiveness of hippotherapy and therapeutic horseback riding in children with CP. Outcomes were measured using a variety of tools including Bertoti Posture Assessment Scale, GMFM, EMG, gait parameters and kinematics, PEDI, BOTMP, PDMS, and VABS.
Facilitation Techniques. Facilitation and enhancement of muscle activity to achieve improved motor control are the key tenants to many of the techniques used in neurological rehabilitation, many of which also utilise neuroplasticity. [1] .
