Introduction[edit | edit source]
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a therapeutic approach defined as promoting the response of the nerve impulses to recruit muscles through stimulation of the proprioceptors (e.g. Muscle spindle and Golgi Tendon Organs) in addition to other sensory stimuli (tactile, visual or verbal) in the beginning (i.e. at cognitive phase of motor learning) that decrease overtime as learning progresses.[1]
The approach aims to reach the highest level of function and follows the ICF model where it begins with the findings of clinical assessment to stand on the major impairment of body structure or function (e.g. weakness) that may limit an activity (e.g. sit to stand or walking) and restrict life participation (e.g. using transportation or employment) considering the account of environmental barriers (e.g. high floor residence without lifts or narrow spaces, stressful conditions, etc.) and personal factors (e.g. age, fitness level, etc.). Then, the therapist sets treatment goals to treat certain impairment and improve activity or participation.[2].
PNF uses nerve impulses that can excite ,inhibit, relax or strengthen muscles on neurophysiological basis such as spatial summation, temporal summation[3] and reciprocal inhibition[4].
