Start studying PNF Techniques for Stroke Patient. Contraction of stronger pattern is selected first with progression to weaker pattern. Dynamic Reversals (Slow Rever sals): Utilizes isotonic contractions of first agonists, then antagonists performed against resisitance . PNF is a collection of treatment, it includes various techniques and patterns. It includes various patterns and techniques. Revarsal of Antagonists: A group of techniques that allow for agonist contraction followed by antagonist contraction without pause or relaxation. Rhythmic initiation, rhythmic stabilization, slow reversal, agonistic reversal, stabilizing reversal is few of the PNF techniques which are effective in functional recovery of patients with stroke.

In this Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is widely used in the rehabilitation of upper extremity function in stroke patients. These include the: side fascia hip flexors hamstrings glutes back Most commonly used treatment approaches are ROODs approach, Sensory motor approach, PNF, Brunnstroms movement therapy, Bobaths technique and neuro developmental therapy. Basic PNF Techniques. (Amit Kumar Mandall 2009). Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools. Discussion.
