It is considered a motor nerve and primarily innervates the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, which play crucial roles in head and shoulder movements. It has a cranial and a spinal component, though there is…
Introduction Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): The term Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) refers to a therapeutic approach that involves stimulating proprioceptors (such as the muscle spindle and the Golgi tendon organs) in addition to other sensory stimuli (tactile, visual, or verbal) at the beginning (i.e., during the cognitive phase of motor learning) and gradually decreasing them…
Optic neuritis is the term for an inflammation of the optic nerve. This results in various symptoms like pain and blurred vision.
