Overview

Randomized controlled trial showed PNF improved posture metrics in older adults with scapular dyskinesis, suggesting a role in rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • PNF technique significantly enhanced posture measurements in older adults with scapular dyskinesis, improving specific scapular positions.
  • Key metrics showed significant differences in scapular alignment with PNF intervention, particularly in LSST results after treatment sessions.
  • Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation was incorporated into regular rehabilitation alongside conventional exercises for efficacy.
  • Further studies may support prolonged treatment to optimally enhance gait and balance outcomes in the target population.
