PHILOSPHY:
The philosophy of PNF approach is based on the hypothesis that all human
beings have untapped existing potential. Hence the role of the physiotherapist is
to evaluate the dysfunctions and facilitate the optimal physical functional ability
of the patient. Therapist should develop an effective rapport with the patient to
facilitate the optimal functional level and to assure his/her full participation in
the rehabilitation program. For this, the therapist should identify the strength of
patient that would become foundation for his/her re-education and learning.
Because to achieve success, one should work from the someone’s strength
rather than his/her deficits. Short term and long term goals should be developed
on the basis of the evaluation and need of the patient. Based upon the
established goal, the treatment program should be designed to treat the
diagnosed functional limitations. When treating neuromuscular dysfunctions
complex motor patterns are reduced to their basic movement and developmental
components. The emphasis should be placed on the selective re-education of
individual motor elements through the development of fundamental skills of
trunk control, stability and co-ordinated movement. A repetition of the learned
movement and postures is necessary for the reinforcement. The intensity of the
program should be graded to meet the specific strength and endurance needed
for the performance of efficient postures and movements.
