The purpose of this study was to review possible mechanisms, proposed theories, and physiological changes that occur due to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques. Four theoretical mechanisms were identified: autogenic inhibition, reciprocal inhibition, stress relaxation, and the gate control theory.

2020年4月20日 · PNF 全名 Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation，中文翻譯為本體感覺神經肌肉促進術。 這個伸展方式主要分為三種不同的操作方式，但是基本上需要有人來協助會比較好操作。 當然也可以透過彈力帶的方式來輔助來自行操作，但是 Dr. M 自己實作起來覺得還是比較難一點。 需要有人協助是 PNF 的缺點，但是我自己實行上覺得效果其實相當不錯，比起一般靜態的伸展好不少。 提到 PNF 的原理需要先提到兩個和肌肉收縮過程中重要的結構，分別為肌 …

This process is known as autogenic inhibition. The GTO response plays an important role in flexibility. When the GTO inhibits the (agonist) muscle’s contraction and allows the antagonist muscle to contract more readily, the muscle can be stretched further and easier.

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 ...

The effects of muscle tone on autogenic inhibition, reciprocal innervation, labyrinthic or somatosensory effects and cerebellar regulation can be affected. It should be kept in mind that active participation of the patient is required for the changes in the CNS to occur and motor learning to take place

These PNF techniques theoretically inhibit the muscle, either through activation of the GTO, known as autogenic inhibition, or by the Sherrington principle of reciprocal inhibition in which maximal activation of one muscle inhibits activation of another muscle—its antagonist. 43,44 Several studies have shown PNF techniques to be superior to ...

Two specific mechanisms are theorized to mediate this response: autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition. Autogenic inhibition is theorized to be due to the stretch of GTOs in the MTU, resulting in a decrease in the muscle excitability after stretching.

2012年3月1日 · Four theoretical mechanisms were identified: autogenic inhibition, reciprocal inhibition, stress relaxation, and the gate control theory. The studies suggest that a combination of these four...
