Once working your legs in a single plane becomes easy, you can work them in different planes of movement with PNF exercises. PNF stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. I am going to show you them in standing so they not only challenge your movements, but they also challenge your balance.
The first pattern is the D1 pattern. It looks almost like a figure 4 to start with. You want to start with hip flexion, hip abduction, hip external rotation, dorsiflexion, and inversion of the foot. Then take the movement down and out into hip extension, hip internal rotation, plantarflexion, and eversion.
The next pattern is the D2 pattern. It looks like a dog peeing! With your leg away from you, start with hip flexion, hip abduction, hip internal rotation, dorsiflexion, and eversion. Then pull your leg in and behind you to hip extension, hip adduction, hip external rotation, plantarflexion, and inversion.
Try to make it as smooth as possible, and try to keep your balance!

Yes! You don't want to move your body to compensate. It is just a way of stretching in more than one plane, so you have many different movements of muscles. We use it a lot in PT to retrain proprioception! Good luck!!
D1 and D2 are for both the lower extremities and upper extremities. I have videos for both! You can just research proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and you should be able to find more info on it!
Yay, it's October! Let's start off this month with a spooky video about PNF Exercises for your lower extremities featuring my two skeletal sidekicks.
Doctor jo what does it mean when you bones crack
I meant your
It can mean a lot of different things, some not very serious, but some meaning you have arthritis. Is the cracking painful?
No it doesn't hurt! My knees back and my elbows cracks. Do you think this happens because I'm over weight?
Lashell R It could be, but most people have this. It is called crepitus. If it is not painful, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Good luck!
Thanks! It is definitely worth a try!
You're welcome!
With Halloween just a few days away, I wanted to show off my cool new glow in the dark shoes... and show you some excellent PNF exercises for your lower extremities. So check out this ghoulish video!
When is the PNF pattern exercise indicated? Like in what circumstances you would incorporate these exercises?
You are extremely creative and thank you for the add in google.
Thank you SO MUCH for your videos! They are AMAZING! So easy to understand!!
You're welcome, and thanks!
In honor of "Tell an Old Joke Day," here's one for you:
Q: What's a skeleton's favorite musical instrument?
A: A Trom-BONE!!!
Tell your best old joke in the comments below!
Very nicely demonstrated! Just to clarify somethings not shown in the video - in the D1 extension to flexion pattern the foot should go from eversion to inversion.
I have a question about the D2 pattern - does it matter if the foot passes behind the supporting leg Vs in front of it? You demonstrated it with the former, but other demo's I've seen with the latter
I learned it always going behind (to get the hip extension part of the movement), but things might have changed since then.
Thanks! Happy Halloween!!
Watching this from November 2020
When you move your leg out, should you stretch it as far as you can without moving your body to compensate? also I've never heard of this form of stretching, pretty interesting!
when I was a kid in Taiwan we used to play a game called "Jianzi" (wiki it if you like) which is similar to the shuttle in badminton but weighted. We kicked to keep this object in air using leg motions Dr. Jo taught in this exercise, bouncing off either the knee, the ankle, and really anywhere on our bodies as long as it stayed off ground. You can use a small bean bag as well. Perhaps this will be a good way to train reflexes and agility =-)
Definitely! That sounds fun :-)
AWESOME! Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks, and you're welcome!
