Abstrakt		The aim of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is to promote functional movement of paralyzed limb through facilitation, inhibition, strengthening, and relaxation muscle groups. The muscle contractions are cartied out by the handicapped person, combied with a properly graded resistance being fitted to the patient's needs by a physiotherapist. PNF is used in intact person training and in rehabilitation as a set of specific movement patterns New addition introduced here, is the assistance of surface functional electrical stimulation during some movement patterns of the leg (e.g. flexion-adduction-external rotation). Highly adaptable: pulse width, frequency and amplitude adjustable electrical stimulator was mouted inside a leg pedal housing, precise control of stimulation amplitude.
