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 ...

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique utilized to improve muscle elasticity and has been shown to have a positive effect on active and passive range of motions (Funk et al., 2003; Lucas and Koslow, 1984; Wallin et al., 1985). Recent research has been focused on the efficacy of the intervention on certain ...

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a technique that can help therapists optimize the efficiency, strength, and quality of movement in a wide variety of patients and situations. This course will describe how PNF can be integrated into practice to improve upper extremity function and ADL performance.

In this chapter, we discuss four neurophysiological models: The Rood approach, Brunnstrom’s stages of motor recovery, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT).

PNF concept is usually used in all injuries of osteo-muscular system, more specifically in orthopedic and neurological conditions, to enhance vital functions (breathing, swallowing), facial rehabilitation etc.
