PNF Techniques
摘要
A PNF technique is a sequenced method of facilitation that is aimed at an improvement of body functions or activities within the context of a treatment goal. The goal of the PNF techniques is to promote functional movement through facilitation, inhibition, strengthening, and relaxation of muscle groups. The techniques use concentric, eccentric, and static muscle contractions. These muscle contractions with properly graded resistance and suitable facilitatory procedures are combined and adjusted to fit the needs of each patient.
