Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)- Theory & Practice- Test 1 || Questions & Answers (Graded A+) Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)- Theory & Practice- Test 1 || Questions & Answers (Graded A+) Physical Therapists who developed the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation approach - ANSWER - Knott and Voss Principles of the PNF approach were developed from normal human development and can be used with all patients with ____ ____ CNS dysfunction. - ANSWER - upper neuron PNF approach stresses ____ and _____ patterns of movement used in a goal directed manner. - ANSWER - spiral and diagonal PNF uses ___ ___ patterns such as crawling, kneeling, etc. - ANSWER - weight bearing What is an integral part of PNF treatment by the therapist? - ANSWER - manipulation PNF is based on normal movement and _____ development. - ANSWER - motor In normal motor activity the brain registers the movement as a ____ and not as individual muscle actions. Example: picking up a book - ANSWER - whole PNF approach uses mass movement patterns that _____ normal movement during functional activities. - ANSWER - resembles Incorporate PNF into _____ treatment activities. - ANSWER - functional In treatment, attention is given first to the head, then neck motion and control, trunk, and lastly the extremities. You need the motion and stability proxmially before you can develop coordination distally. You have to develop head, neck, trunk function before developing fine motor coordination. (extremities) - ANSWER - 1. Normal motor development proceeds in a cervicocaudal and proximodistal direction. Reflexes present in the newborn do not disappear but become integrated. Example: ATNR supports rolling, turning head toward an object reinforces reaching for the object. - ANSWER - 2. Early motor behavior is dominated by reflex activity. Mature motor behavior is reinforced or supported by postural reflexes. Motor skills develop progressively. As control in these postures develops, increased coordination develops. Example: infants - ANSWER - 3. Motor behavior is expressed in an orderly sequence of total patterns of movements and posture, like Rood.
