About this title

Synopsis

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is an approach to therapeutic exercise which therapists all over the world have found effective for treating patients with a wide range of diagnoses. The approach presented in this richly illustrated guide is based on the concepts set out by Dr. Herman Kabat and taught by Margaret Knott.

This edition demonstrates how the principles of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and aspects of motor learning and motor control are applied in modern PNF evaluation and treatment. This textbook provides a systematic and easily accessible guide to learning and understanding PNF.

Review

"By combining good photographs and an uncomplicated text this book will give all readers and especially students a clear outline as to the use of PNF and also provide an excellent reference for physiotherapists to review their skills. I recommend it as a useful purchase for libraries and rehabilitation units." - Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine
