Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): Its Mechanisms and Effects on Range of Motion and Muscular Function
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is common practice for increasing range of motion, though little research has been done to evaluate theories behind it. The purpose of this study was to review possible mechanisms, proposed theories, and physiological changes that occur due to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques. Four theoretical mechanisms were identified: autoge...
متن کامل11 Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a dynamic approach to the evaluation and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction with particular emphasis on the trunk. Over the past couple of decades substantial progress has been made in the conservative care of spinal problems.1-5 The shift towards evaluating and treating them from a functional or neuromuscular perspective enhances an...
متن کاملA Randomized controlled trials on the effects of Acupuncture and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on supraspinatus tendinitis
Objective of the study: This randomized controlled trial was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture and Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) as a treatment for supraspinatus tendinitis. Methods: Thirty-five patients with a diagnosis of supraspinatus tendinitis were randomly allocated to either to a PNF group or a PNF plus acupuncture group and treated twice weekly fo...

Sheard, PW and Paine, TJ. Optimal contraction intensity during proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for maximal increase of range of motion. J Strength Cond Res 24(X): 000–000, 2009—An informal review of literature on the use of postisometric relaxation (PIR) type proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) indicates that the force of contraction requested from the athlete ranges from ...
متن کاملThe effect of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation exercises on dynamic visual acuity and Sport performance of young basketball players
Aims: Deep sense plays a significant role in sensory control feedback, joint stability, coordination and balance. Despite the important role of vision and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on functional skills in athletes, a few studies have been conducted in this regard. This study aimed at investigating the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation exercises on dynamic visu...
