Neuromuscular Facilitation Techniques in Sportsmedicine

, PhD, RPT
Pages 114-127 | Published online: 11 Jul 2016
 

Abstract

In brief: One hundred eleven athletic trainers were surveyed about their use of seven neuromuscular facilitation (NF) techniques, what regions of the body they treated with NF, and which NF technique is most effective for a particular injury. Based on the information from this study, N F seems to have three roles: rehabilitation, prevention of injury, and warm-up. NF techniques were used most frequently for injuries to the knee, hip, and shoulder. Hamstring injuries responded best to NF treatment.
