abstract: Adherents of part:cular schools of physiotherapy tend to emphasise their differences, while having similar philosophies in aiming to restore optimum functional performance by specific treatment stimuli and careful positioning of the patient. Margaret Johnstone uses the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) system. The Bobath technique, however, is more generally used and regarded as the most effective method in neurophysiotherapy.
