Upper Extremity PNF Diagonal Patterns EXPLAINED

The video tutorial explains PNF patterns, focusing on D1 and D2 diagonal movements. It covers flexion and extension positions, using analogies like seat belts and swords to illustrate the movements. The tutorial emphasizes understanding over memorization, encouraging learners to visualize and reason through the patterns. It also highlights the importance of shoulder movements in these patterns and provides strategies for learning them effectively.

What are PNF patterns also known as?

• Circular patterns

• Diagonal patterns

• Linear patterns

• Vertical patterns

In the context of D1 patterns, what movement is similar to donning a seat belt?

• D2 extension

• D1 flexion

• D1 extension

• D2 flexion

Which of the following is NOT a component of D1 flexion?

• Forearm supination

• Elbow extension

• Wrist radial deviation

• Shoulder flexion

What is the recommended approach to learning diagonal patterns?

• Memorizing each joint movement

• Understanding the overall pattern movement

• Focusing only on the shoulder movements

• Practicing with weights

What is the opposite movement of D1 flexion?

• D2 flexion

• D1 extension

• D1 abduction

• D2 extension

Which activity is used to describe D2 flexion?

• Drawing a sword

• Putting on a seat belt

• Throwing a ball

• Lifting a weight

In D2 extension, what happens to the shoulder?

• It flexes

• It extends

• It abducts

• It rotates externally
