Acute effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching on rectus femoris muscle stiffness: a dose-response shear-wave elastography study

IntroductionProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching is widely used to increase range of motion, but its underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This experimental, parallel group design study investigated the acute effects of PNF stretching on rectus femoris muscle stiffness...
