Product Description
This book is a practical guide to the application of PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) in the treatment of patients with orthopedic problems and with neurologic dysfunctions. The approach presented here is based on the concepts set out by Dr. Herman Kabat and taught by Margaret (Maggie) Knott. The authors, experienced PNF teachers, show how they use the PNF method for effective evaluation, planning and treament, and thus provide the reader with a clear understanding of why, how and when PNF techniques are applied. The book`s special feature is the detailed photographic documentation of PNF patterns, mat and gait activities, and their functional application.This unique combination of photographs and concise text guides students learning PNF and stimulates therapists familiar with the method to review and improve their skills. (see background information, S.Adler and Beckers/Buck)

 2008 Update of PNF April 22, 2009

The clear writing with precise illustrated figures makes this a useful text and tool for patient care. That being said my only personal question is of figure 9.10b which shows considerable rotation for a C2 fracture the neck chapter does not comment on this. It may be a seated derivative of the Neck lateral flexion with extension bias technique illustrated but I wouldn't assume anything with a cervical fracture.

This is a very good textbook. I am currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student and this was a recommended book by my professor to help us learn PNF techniques. There are excellent descriptions and great diagrams. The only thing that would have made this a better book is if the diagrams were in color. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the benefits and techniques of PNF as well as most health care proffessionals. Being a student, this was also a very easy book to comprehend due to the great descriptions.
