English

Subject field(s)
  • Rehabilitation (Medicine)
CONT

… proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF) involves repeated muscle activation of the limbs [in order] to assist with motor relearning and increasing sensory input.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réadaptation (Médecine)

Méthode d'étirement basée sur des réflexes où il y a étirement passif du muscle, contraction isométrique, relâchement avec étirement passif, puis contraction du muscle antagoniste […]

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Rehabilitación (Medicina)
CONT

La facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva (FNP) es la metodología de estiramientos con mejores resultados a la hora de ganar flexibilidad, y por tanto, mayor amplitud de movimiento y en el menor tiempo posible.

Record 2 2010-06-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
CONT

"Comparable Patterns of Muscle Facilitation Evoked by Individual Corticomotoneuronal Cells and by Single Intracortical Microstimuli in Primates : Evidence for Functional Groups of Corticomotoneuronal Cells".... The averaged responses of forelimb muscles to action potentials of single motor cortex cells and to single intracortical microstimuli(S-ICMS) were compared.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
OBS

facilitation : Il arrive assez souvent que, à la suite d'une sommation spatiale, la membrane d'un neurone postsynaptique soit dépolarisée jusqu'au seuil d'excitation par le potentiel postsynaptique excitateur produit à plusieurs synopses excitatrices. Il en découle qu'une dépolarisation moindre permettra quand même à l'axone d'atteindre le seuil d'excitation si d'autres potentiels post-synaptiques excitateurs surviennent. C'est le phénomène de la facilitation. (Source : Anatomie et physiologie : Une approche intégrée, 1983, p. 307).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
  • Nervous System
CONT

Cells whose spikes were followed by a clear postspike facilitation(PSF) of rectified muscle activity were designated corticomotoneuronal(CM) cells. CM cells typically facilitated a subset of the coactivated muscles called the cell' s target muscles.
