“…Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) integration patterns stimulate proprioceptors in muscles and tendons, effectively maximizing the exercise unit's reaction (Kumar et al, 2016;Basak and Biswas, 2016;). Utilizing maximum resistance in spiral and diagonal movements, PNF promotes a larger neuromuscular response and exploration of postural reflex and prioritizes eccentric muscle contraction, which is particularly beneficial for hemiplegic patients (Chen et al, 2005;Lindquist et al, 2011;Olubukola et al, 2021). When addressing hand function impairment, the goal is to enhance the functional use of hands for everyday tasks, recognizing the collaborative nature of bimanual performance (Basak and Dutta, 2016;Nikolovska et al, 2023).…”
