Cushions and seating are powered or non-powered devices placed on a wheelchair or other seating surfaces. They utilize air, fluid, foam, gel, water, wool or a combination of these components to distribute pressure and reduce friction and shear forces.
PNF stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. This type of stretching is often referred to as partner stretching because two people are needed to perform the movements. There are many forms of PNF, but most involve an isometric hold followed by a static stretch of the same muscle group.
PNF stretching, or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching, is a set of stretching techniques commonly used in clinical environments to enhance both active and passive range of motion in order to improve motor performance and aid rehabilitation.NF can be used to supplement daily stretching and is employed to make quick gains in range of motion â for example to help athletes improve performance.
