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
