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...

Stroke is the commonest neurological deficit caused by an interruption of blood flow to brain and loss trunk control commonly observed in patients after stroke. Impaired has a negative impact on daily activities quality life(QOL) Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Neurodevelopmental technique (NDT), both are effective improving hemiplegic muscle endurance, strength, mobility. This ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this this study was to examine the immediate effects of intervention of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) and NJF+pelvic floor muscle (PFM) exercise. [Subjects] Thirteen young people (5 males, 8 females) who had chronic low back pain on one side for more than 6 months. [Methods] Subjects were asked to lie on their si...

[Purpose] The aim of the study was to investigate the changes in baseball pitching velocity, the functional reach test (FR) and the simple reaction times (SRT) in young amateur baseball players after lumbar spine patterns of neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) treatment. [Subjects] The subjects were 11 young amateur baseball players. An NJF intervention and a proprioceptive neuromuscular fac...

A comparison of assisted and unassisted proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques and static stretching. J Strength Cond Res 26(5): 1238-1244, 2012-Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching often requires a partner. Straps are available allowing an individual to perform PNF stretching alone. It is not known if a strap provides similar improvements in the range of mot...

Purpose: To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of neuromuscular re-education technique and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on improving facial disability and synkinesis in rehabilitation of bell's palsy. Methodology: It was a randomized clinical trial consisting 40 participants (males and females) 20 in each group, with Bell’s palsy of non-traumatic origin. Group A recei...

The motor rehabilitation is based on exercises that involve various joints and muscle groups. One such treatment method is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), which involves diagonal movements simulating many activities of daily living. The objective of this study was to investigate the differences between PNF and shoulder flexion movements performed without the diagonal component ...

Background: Scapular dyskinesis is termed as improper control of resting position and movement pattern the scapula having connections with shoulder pain. PNF techniques are methods hastening response a neuromuscular mechanism through stimulation proprioceptors. Objective: To find out effect scapular proprioceptive facilitation in treatment dyskinesis. Methodology: A randomized clinical trial wa...
