The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of exercising program utilizing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation integration pattern (PIP), which is effective in improvement of the physical function, on the fall efficacy and gait ability of the elders who experienced injuries from falls. Also, this study aims to investigate he applicability of exercise program as methods for fal...

OBJECTIVE To determine if submaximal contractions used in contract-relax proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (CRPNF) stretching of the hamstrings yield comparable gains in hamstring flexibility to maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs). METHOD Randomised controlled trial. A convenience sample of 72 male subjects aged 18-27 was used. Subjects qualified by demonstrating tight ha...

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...

In this paper, we aim to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)-based rehabilitation for ankle plantar flexors spasticity by using a Robotic Ankle-foot Rehabilitation System (RARS). A modified robot-assisted system was proposed, and seven poststroke patients with hemiplegic spastic ankles participated in a 3-month robotic PNF training. Their impaired sides wer...

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...

Gynecological cancers are the most prevalent in women, making it a significant public health concern. Chemotherapy drugs an extremely effective approach for reducing cancer progression since they have various targets and mechanism of action focused at killing quickly multiplying cells. Unfortunately, these also affect normal cells structures body, resulting variety deleterious effects. M...
