Overview

This pilot study deals with the problems of possible therapeutic application of the concept of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) in patients with Desault fixation of shoulder joint. In the observed group of 7 healthy subjects the authors scanned electric activity of musculus trapezius pars descendens, pars transversa et pars ascendens, musculus deltoideus pars acromialis, musculus infraspinatus and musculus pectoralis major pars sternocostalis of the left immobilized extremity, in performing PNF formulae on the periphery of the immobilized extremity and on the contralateral extremity. In the course of the individual formulae the authors evaluated 5s segment of stabilized isometric contraction. The data were subsequently normalized and mutually compared. In view of the results in literature we defined the value above 20% of maximal intentional contraction (MVC) of the relevant muscle as sufficient for securing functional capacity of motoric units of the given muscle and therefore to prevent muscular atrophies of the immobilized extremity. With the exception of m. trapezius pars transversa the electric activity of the measured muscles reached higher values while performing PNF formulae on the periphery of the fixed extremity.

Key words:
PNF, surface electromyography, Desault fixation
