Title: PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION


1
PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION
  • Total Rehabilitation Using Your Hands as the
    Primary Tools

2
Alpha Motor Neuron
3
CONTEXT
  • 1946 Dr. Herman Kabat based techniques on
    then-current neurophysiological research
  • Margaret Knott and Dorothy Voss

4
CONCEPTS
  • Maximum Resistance
  • Initiate movement in strong portion of ROM
    (overflow)
  • Stretch for proprioceptive stimulation
  • Combined motions (overflow)
  • Alternate agonist/antagonist contractions
  • Spiral and diagonal patterns

5
PNF
  • Proprioceptive and sensory mechanisms
  • Feed information to the nervous system
  • Facilitate the desired response
  • Response contraction for strengthening
  • Response relaxation for stretching
  • Response improved balance and equilibrium

6
Tactile Stimulation

MANUAL CONTACT
  • Stimulate over muscle
  • Stimulate on the side of the limb on the
    direction of movement desired
  • Prevents confusion
  • Lumbrical Grip prevents contact over too many
    surfaces

(04)
8
APPROXIMATION
  • Compression through a joint
  • Stimulate joint receptors
  • Facilitate Alpha Motor Neuron
  • Purpose Strength and Stability

(11)

Joint Stimulation
JOINT

10
TRACTION
  • Joint separation stimulates joint receptors
  • Muscle stretch stimulates muscle spindle stretch
    recepetor
  • Facilitates Alpha Motor Neuron
  • Facilitates Strength and Stability

11
QUICK STRETCH
  • Stimulates stretch receptors of at the muscle
    spindle
  • Facilitates Alpha Motor Neuron
  • Facilitates Strength

TIMING
  • Rhythmical reversal of direction
  • Distal to proximal coordination

14
MAXIMAL RESISTANCE
  • By muscle group
  • By joint
  • By limb

15
VISION
  • PATIENT LOOKS IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH THE
    BODY/HEAD TO MOVE
  • WATCH THE LIMB TO IMPROVE COORDINATION

Lk Up R
16
AGONIST
  • Muscle(s) that move the joint in the desired
    direction
  • Question What are the agonists to shoulder
    flexion/abduction/external rotation?

17
DIAGONAL PATTERNS
  • Whole Limb
  • Rotational Component
  • Diagonal (not pure planar movements)
  • Functional

RHYTHMIC STABILIZATION
  • Isometric hold
  • Against manual resistance given in diagonal
    patterns
  • Purpose Increase strength and stability around
    a joint
  • Can be done with limb fixed (closed chain) or
    limb free (open chain)

(14, 15)
21
SLOW REVERSAL
  • Isotonic contraction followed immediately by
    isotonic contraction of the antagonistic muscles
  • Overflow from strong pattern to weaker pattern
  • Purpose Increase strength and facilitate normal
    timing and coordination

(07)
22
SLOW REVERSAL-HOLD
  • Isometric hold performed in the range of a
    pattern of isotonic diagonal pattern
  • Purpose Increase strength in a particularly
    weak or uncoordinated portion of the range.

DEVELOPMENTAL SEQUENCE
  • Prone
  • Rolling
  • Prone on elbows
  • Prone push up
  • Quadruped
  • Crawl
  • Kneel
  • Half-kneel
  • Stand
  • Walk

27
THERAPEUTIC DEVELOPMENTAL SEQUENCE
  • Facilitate normal reflexes and responses
    (pediatrics and neurological impairments)
  • Isometric contraction within the stage
  • Static
  • For stability (FIRST)
  • Easiest
  • Movement within the stage
  • Dynamic
  • For strength and coordination (SECOND)
  • Hardest
