| What are PNF Trunk Patterns? | Extremities are in contact with each other creating a closed kinetic loop, Emphasis placed on trunk/proximal components | |
| Describe the PNF trunk pattern: Bilateral asymmetrical chopping. | § Strengthens obliques,§ Improves upper trunk mobility and facilitates rolling§ Reverse motion is reversal chop§ Lead UE performs D1E pattern assisting other arm doing D2E | |
| Describe the PNF trunk pattern: Bilateral asymmetrical lifting. | § Good for stability and perception§ Lead extremity performs D2F, assisting extremity performs D1F§ Reversal of the lift - reversing from flexion to extension | |
| Define resistance. | Give max resistance while allowing person to complete the task, resist proximal to distal | |
| Define irradiation. | Overflow, stronger muscles and patterns reinforce weaker ones | |
| Define Manual contact. | Use a lumbrical grip, facilitate precise response | |
| Describe PNF body position/body mechanics. | Patient lies down, therapist stands in line with the pattern | |
| Describe the PNF verbal commands. | Short, one word | |
| Where should the therapist vision be directed? | Look at patient's hand | |
| Define traction. | Facilitates joint receptors by creating a separation, promotes mvmt, increases mobility | |
| Define approximation. | Push together, promotes increased stability and proprioception |
