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 ...

2016年7月5日 · PNF patterning is used for the upper and lower extremities and is broken into to D1 (Diagonal 1) and D2 (Diagonal 2) patterns. The upper extremity pattern encompasses the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers.

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is an approach to the therapeutic exercise that uses proprioceptive, cutaneous, and auditory input to produce functional improvement in motor output and can be vital element in the rehabilitation process of many injuries.
