PNF- TECHNIQUES

Dr. Seema Gul (PT)


DPT-MSPT(Neurological)
RHYTHMIC INITIATION
Rhythmic motion of the limb or body through the
desired range, starting with passive motion and
progressing to active resisted movement

At the end the patient should make the motion


independently
ACTIVITY
 For practical demonstration watch the following link

s
ASSIGNMENT
 Make a video showing training for wrist flexion using
rhythmic initiation technique
COMBINATION OF ISOTONICS
(DESCRIBED BY GREGG JOHNSON AND VICKY SALIBA)

Combined concentric, eccentric, and stabilizing


contractions of one group of muscles (agonists)
without relaxation.

For treatment, start where the patient has the most strength
or best coordination.
GOALS
 Active control of motion
 Coordination

 Increase the active range of motion

 Strengthen

 Functional training in eccentric control of movement


ACTIVITY
 Watch the following link

ASSIGNMENT
 Make a video showing training for wrist flexion using
rhythmic initiation technique
REVERSAL OF ANTAGONISTS
 Dynamic Reversals (Incorporates Slow Reversal)

Active motion changing from one direction (agonist) to the opposite


(antagonist) without pause or relaxation.

In normal life we oft en see this kind of muscle activity: throwing a


ball, bicycling, walking etc.
GOALS
 Increase active range of motion
 Increase strength

 Develop coordination (smooth reversal of motion)

 Prevent or reduce fatigue

 Increase endurance

 Decrease muscle tone


REVERSAL OF ANTAGONISTS
 Stabilizing Reversals
Alternating isotonic contractions opposed by enough resistance to
prevent motion. The command is a dynamic command (“push against
my hands”, or “don’t let me push you”) and the therapist allows only a
very small movement
REVERSAL OF ANTAGONISTS
 Rhythmic Stabilization

Alternating isometric contractions against resistance, no


motion intended
ACTIVITY
 Watch the following link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upxRj3ySJgU&t=4s
ASSIGNMENT
 Make a video showing all the type of reversal of
antagonist on patient/model performing BRIDGING
exercise
