Riassunto:

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is an approach to therapeutic exercise which therapists all over the world have found effective for treating patients with orthopaedic problems and with neurologic dysfunctions. The approach presented here is based on the concepts set out by Dr Herman Kabat and taught by Margaret Knott. The authors, experienced PNF teachers, show how they use the PNF method for effective evaluation, planning and treatment. Readers will gain an understanding of why, how and when to apply PNF techniques in patient treatment. The book's special feature is the detailed photographic documentation of PNF patterns, mat and gait activities and their functional application. The combination of photographs and accompanying text guides students learning PNF and stimulates therapists familiar with the method to review and improve their skills.

Recensione: "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
