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 and how are they commonly referred to?

Explain the difference between viewing PNF patterns as movements versus isolated positions.

Describe the significance of the shoulder joint in determining flexion and extension positions.

How do the D1 positions relate to the action of donning and doffing a seatbelt?

What movements are involved in D1 flexion and how do they differ from D1 extension?

Discuss the importance of understanding diagonal pattern movements rather than memorizing joint movements.

In the context of D2 patterns, what does the action of drawing a sword represent?
