We know much about mechanisms determining the perceived size and weight of lifted objects, but little about how these properties of size and weight affect the body representation (e.g. grasp aperture of the hand). Without vision, subjects (n = 16) estimated spacing between fingers and thumb (perceived grasp aperture) while lifting canisters of the same width (6.6cm) but varied weights (300, 600...

Stroke is a disease that most commonly found today, stroke has high mortality and disability rate. can cause physical in productive age old age. This study aims to determine the effect of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on strength prehension Cylindrical grip function non-hemorrhagic patients. research quantitative with quasi-experimental design, one group pretest posttest, samp...

Postcontraction depression of Hoffmann-reflex (H-reflex) amplitudes was examined to study the rationale underlying proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation relaxation techniques. The time course of H-reflex amplitude depression was used to assess postcontraction changes in motoneuron reflex excitability. Sixteen healthy female subjects performed voluntary isometric plantar-flexion contractions...

Purpose: Exercise therapy is the most common conservative treatment for low back pain. has generally been associated pain and kinesiophobia. In this context, especially paraspinal muscles need to be focused on. For reason, aim of our study evaluate different types exercises that will help increase neuromuscular facilitation core stability in by considering patient satisfaction.
 Methods: A...
