Course Objectives The aim of this course is to enable students to acquire basic knowledge and practical skills of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques as a therapeutic exercise.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • explain the neurophysiological mechanisms of action of PNF techniques;
  • explain the PNF patterns and techniques;
  • list the places and purposes of the use of PNF techniques in therapeutic exercises;
  • apply the appropriate technique for facilitation or inhibition purposes in different neuromuscular system disorders;
  • apply PNF techniques in different clinical situations.
Course Description This course covers basic principles of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques, upper and lower extremity patterns in PNF, head-body and neck patterns in PNF, facilitation and inhibition techniques in PNF, introduction to hemiplegic rehabilitation.
