APPLICATION PREVALENCE OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION IN CLINICAL OF STUDENTS IN PHYSIOTHERAPY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Backgrounds: In Physiotherapy, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a high technique applied to treat many diseases related to disorders, brands on muscles and nerves systems. Although the effectiveness has been improved, the application of highly specialized techniques as well as skills must be practiced regularly to bring good results to the patients. The application of PNF needs to be evaluated and encouraged not only on working people but also on students when performing clinical. Objectives: Assessment the prevalence of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in clinical practice of students of the Rehabilitation Faculty at Hong Bang International University. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in the third and the four students of Rehabilitation Faculty at Hong Bang International University. Results: The study recorded that the percentage of students who applied PNF in clinical practice accounted for 96%, of which the frequency of regular application accounted for 51.6% in both the regular students and irregular students. Conclusions: The application of PNF in clinical practice by students of the Rhabilitation Faculty is very often showing the position of PNF technique in clinical treatment as well as affirming its importance when present in the program of Bachelor's Degree in Physiotherapy.
