摘要：The aim of this paper is to realize a brief review on the PNF stretching technique.PNF stretching (or proprioceptive muscular facilitation) is one of the most effective forms of flexibility training for increasing range of motion.PNF stretching is a method of flexibility training that can reduce hypertonus,allowing muscles to relax and lengthen and can be applied to patients of all ages.PNF can be used to supplement daily stretching and these techniques help develop muscular strength and endurance,joint stability,mobility,neuromuscular control and coordination.PNF techniques are as follows: Contract Relax,Hold Relax,Rhythmic Initiation,Rhythmic Stabilisation,Slow reversals,Alternating isometrics and Alternating rhythmic stabilization.Conclusion.Whether promoting flexibility,developing muscular strength and endurance,improving joint stability or increasing neuromuscular control and coordination,PNF is a valuable part of every rehabilitation program.
