Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Lower Limb PNF integration pattern on Limits of Stability in geriatric population, as there are lesser studies done which improve the limits of stability using inexpensive and easy techniques. Method: A total of 38 subjects both males and females in the age group of 65 years and above, with less reach in forward, backward, right and left lateral components of Multi-directional Reach test were included while those with impaired vision, recent musculoskeletal conditions and neurological conditions were excluded. Assessment was done according to the MDRT before and after the complete treatment of 4 weeks. The treatment session included warm up exercises, followed by D1 Flexion-Extension and D2 Flexion-Extension patterns of PNF techniques, and cool down exercises including Shavasana. Results: On statistical analysis, a significant improvement in all four components of Multi-directional Reach test was found. Conclusion: PNF integration pattern are effective and can be used in improving Limits of Stability in geriatric population.
