Abstract
Our final treatment goal is to reach the highest functional level and maximal independence in activities of daily living (ADL), to increase the quality of life for each patient. On the level of participation (ICF:► Chap. 1), the patient should take part in normal social activities again. The therapist should always integrate principles of motor learning and motor control in his PNF treatment to reach this highest functional level.
