Good morning. It is my great pleasure to talk to you today. I would like to talk about assessment of the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation therapy on the improvement of motor function in a patient after total hip replacement – a case study. The authors of the article I used are Agnieszka G., Anna Sz. et al.
First I would like to say a few words about hip Osteoarthritis, its treatment methods, symptoms and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation concept. So.. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common motor disorders in people over 40.
Causes of the disease are congenital and acquired defects, traumas, metabolic diseases, excessive joint overload, being overweight, too little or a lack of physical activity, bad body posture and many others causes.
The symptoms of the disease are pain often occurs during gait and on exertion, and when condition progresses, the symptoms occur also at rest, sometimes at night. In addition, it occurs limits active and passive range of motion in the joint muscle atrophy in the lower limb and limping may also appear. An effective treatment for hip problems due to degenerative changes or fractures is alloplasty. This surgery allows patients to regain the ability to independently perform activities of daily living, gives independence and significantly improves the quality of life.
The Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation concept focuses on proprioception and joint mechanics to facilitate movement similar to natural movements in the activities of daily living. In the PNF concept, it is important to develop appropriate motor strategies, a positive approach with minimal pain, attainment of tasks, and use of a patient’s physical and mental resources and to maintain motivation for further activity.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of PNF therapy on the change in muscle strength, mobility and gait pattern in the patient after Total Hip Arthroplasty.
