Four distinct arm elevation/depression tasks were assessed: shoulder abduction/adduction, flexion/extension, scaption, and a diagonal movement pattern mimicking throwing (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation diagonal 2 for flexion/extension or PNF–D2–flx/ext). Kinematic data was recorded from the ...

PNFvisionObjectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of visual trace on shoulder muscle activation during diagonal pattern of exercises. Sixteen healthy male participants volunteered to participate. Design: Repeated-measure design. Setting: Laboratory setting. Participants: Sixteen ...

PNF–D2, most participants were given further directives to focus on a diagonal rotational movement pattern, especially external rotation of the shoulder and elbow flexion when reaching the end of PNF–D2–flx (referred to as “if you were cocking the arm to throw a ball or spike”). ...
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PNF-based diagonal exercises in stroke rehabilitation therapy on improving balance and walking abilities in stroke patients compared to the sagittal exercise rehabilitation methods. The second aim of this study is to explore the ...
