pnf

which techniques are used to decrease tone or increase ROM (stretch)?

HOld relax (HR), contract relax (CR), rhythmic rotation (RRo)

for slow reversal-hold (SRH), add __ hold at the end of pattern

ISOM

for hold-relax-action motion (HRA) elicit ___ contraction at midrange, then move limb to start of PNF pattern and elicit ___ contraction with ___ throughout full pattern

ISOM, isotonic, resistance

for hold-relax, place limb in position of comfort within the pattern, elicit strong ___ contraction of tight muscle, then as you have patient relax, try to passively move limb into newly gained range, ___ as needed

ISOM, repeat

for contract relax, place limb in position of comfort within a pattern, elicit small range ____ contraction, have patient relax, then move limb into new range within pattern, ___

isotonic, repeat

for slow reversals (SR), elicit slow, full range patterns in both directions, applying resistance ___ or ___ depending on need

proximally, distally

for Alternating ISOMs (AI), alternate between agonists and antagonists with no ____ when changing sides

relaxation

which technique is used to initiate volitional movement?

rhythmic initiation (RI)

For Rhythmic Stabilization, same as alternating ISOM except you use agonist on one side and antagonist on the other, with an emphasis on ___ and no ___ when changing sides

rotation, relaxation

for rhythmic rotation, apply slow, repeated ___ of limb at the point of ___, slowly, gently move limb through range as ___ occurs

rotation, resistance, relaxation

which techniques are used to strengthen agonist and antagonists?

slow reversals (SR), slow reversal-hold(SRH)

for rhythmic initiation (RI) do ___, then ____, then ___ and then ___

PROM, AAROM, ARROM, AROM

which techniques are used to increase stabilization or co-contraction?

alternating ISOMs (AI), rhythmic stabilization (RS)

which pnf techniques are used to strengthen agonist only?

hold relax action motion (HRA), repeated contractions (RC)

for repeated contractions (RC), place limb in a position of ___ within pattern, then have patient do repeated ___ contractions through partial pattern. Cue patient to relax, then move limb to start of PNF pattern in which target muscle is elongated, and elicit ___ contraction with ___ through full pattern

weakness, isotonic, isotonic, resistance
