推拿與本體感覺神經肌肉促進術之比較
Comparison between Chinese Manipulation and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
摘要
本體感覺神經肌肉促進術Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)是指通過對本體感受器進行刺激，從而促進神經、肌肉反應能力的治療方法。以往主要用於脊髓灰質炎和多發性硬化引起的繼發性癱瘓。目前PNF技術已被廣泛應用於腦血管病變、周圍神經損傷、腦部外傷、脊髓損傷、骨科疾病、腦癱等臨床康復的技術。而推拿療法適用範圍更為廣泛，能治療的疾病甚多，舉凡臨床各科之很多疾病，都可運用推拿療法治療之。又由於推拿療法有舒筋活絡、宣通氣血、活血散瘀、消腫止痛等作用，對於各種疼痛症狀尤為適宜。
並列摘要
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) technique is a treatment carried out through stimulating proprioceptive receptors to promote reaction ability of nerve and muscle. It is mainly used in the sequential paralysis which polio and multiple sclerosis caused. At present PNF technique widely has been applied in the clinical recovery of cerebrovascular disease, peripheral nerve damage, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, orthopedics disease, and brain paralysis. However application of a wide range of Chinese manipulation can cure many diseases. Because this therapy can relaxes muscle and joints, stimulate blood circulation, dissolve blood clot, and relieve swelling and pain, especially for pain symptoms.
