Im almost done with physical therapy school, so we constantly talk and practice PNF techniques in class. I feel the explanation is great! Some improvements with the PNF techniques shown would include keeping the movements closer to the body especially when doing D1 extension.
I'm not getting into the discussion on PNF relevance to the 21st century, but I will say that I am prepping for my OTR licensing exam, and somehow kept getting these patterns mixed up in my head. Nice to have a video to be able to watch a real human being demonstrate the patterns as opposed to reading it out of textbooks and getting frustrated. Thank you!
Ms. Reft I like this video and is very helpfull to all students who are going thrugh prepering to their state licence exam. The PNF is there in the format what you are showing. And You are giving best essence of it. I like your pedagogical expirience quick helpful descriptions: "like a sword..." etc. By the way I like the child on the stairway too... Keep-up good quality work that you do, best regards.
It is true that PNF was developed in the 40's. I would say that since the human body has been around for several thousand years, and rehabilitation probably almost as long, that very little in physical therapy is truly "new". Many elements of PNF are used by therapists even if they themselves are not aware of it. PNF is simply an exercise technique among many that some therapists find useful. I am active in the clinic and I can tell you that in the clinic
continued from above-- in the Chicagoland area many therapists use it to varying degrees. To say "it doesn't work with neuro patients" is a bit questionable, the nature of rehab is such that it is very difficult to say what actually "works" and what doesn't. As for doing a disservice to my students you can look at any PT/PTA license exam book and PNF is always in there, so in fact students do need to know this material if they are going to legally work.
I agree that the license exam still contains questions on PNF & NDT so you need to educate them so they know it however they should also be told the truth about it's effectiveness. It is because of thinking like this that PT/PTA should have continuing education requirements for re-certification much like occupational therapy, nursing, physicians and pretty much all other healthcare professionals. Healthcare changes and what worked 70 years ago may not be the best choice now. Read the evidence.
CONT:- AND TO TELL THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DONOT UNDERSTAND THESE KIND OF CONCEPTS AND NEITHER THEY WANNA INCULTITATE IN THERE PRACTISE FOR THEM IT IS A CRAP BUT FOR ME THOUGH IT IS VERY OLD BUT OLD IS GOLD WE HAVE TO COMBINE PNF WITH OTHER CONCEPTS TO GET BETTER RESULTS
I agree that the human body has been around for several thousand years however what we know about the human body is changing everyday. By saying that there is very little in physical therapy truly new counters everything that students are taught in school with evidence based research and practice. This is not my opinion it is clinical evidence based on a huge meta analysis of over 9000 evidence based articles which was done in 2007. Just because other therapists use it does not make it gold.
Good video on PNF techniques. Too bad it's very outdated. I hope you also tell students that PNF is a completely ridiculous & doesn't work for neuro rehab. PNF was designed in the 40's & 50's. I can't believe that this is still taught in school. If you are teaching 70 year old interventions to your students then you are doing them a disservice. As a CI, it is so frustrating trying to un-teach this crap from students. Teachers often lose touch with the clinic & that shows with their students.
1:00 anybody else notice the kid slowly creeping down the stairs on all fours 😂

Thank you so much for your great explanation and demonstration about UL diagonal.

I'm preparing for the NPTE and your two pnf-patterns have helped alot, thanks!
this video clears my concepts thanks for sharing dr Jennifer Reft
I think there were times you were calling D2 a D1 pattern and made it confusing but I figured it out.

What do you think would have made them better?
