NM II Midterm Exam

2 specific interventions used in the framework of interventions in NM - Proprioceptive NM facilitation and Neurodevelopmental tx PNF - proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) - Stretch muscle statically, contract and stretch muscle statically beyond initial static stretch What are the intervention categories used to Improve motor function? - Restorative interventions, impairment-specific and augmented interventions, compensatory interventions UE PNF patterns - Are named for the action that occurs at the proximal joint (the action the shoulder is performing) 2 diagonals: D1: Flex-ADD-ER & Ext-ABD-IT D2: Flex- ABD-ER &Ext-ADD-IR When you are performing PNF, what begins the pattern? - The distal component begins the motion i.e. hand/wrist ->elbow -> shoulder UE D1 flexion pattern - flexion, adduction, external rotation Also known as the flexion ADD ER pattern. Scapular elevation, shoulder flex, add, ER, forearm supination, wrist flexion, radial dev, finger flexion, thumb flexion and adduction. UE D1 Extension pattern - -scapular posterior depression
