Neuromuscular facilitation is a rehabilitation technique that focuses on improving the communication between the nervous system and muscles, enhancing strength, coordination, and movement control. It is commonly used to treat muscle weakness, coordination problems, or neurological disorders such as stroke or cerebral palsy.
Techniques such as proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) are used to stimulate muscle groups and encourage proper movement patterns. PNF involves stretching and contracting muscles in specific patterns to enhance functional movement.
Neuromuscular facilitation is highly effective for improving muscle strength, coordination, and mobility, making it an essential part of rehabilitation for neurological or musculoskeletal impairments.
