Injuries and damage in the area of the shoulder joint are a major public health problem of modern society, they have diverse causes and a complex clinical picture, and the symptomatology most often refers to difficulties in everyday functioning and low quality of life of the patient. Modern therapy of shoulder injuries and damage often includes the use of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation is a concept in rehabilitation that is widespread among modern physiotherapists on a global level and includes the philosophy of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, basic principles and procedures, and techniques of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. The patterns of this concept, which are applied in the rehabilitation of injuries and damage to the shoulder, were created with regard to the movements of the upper extremity that are feasible in the injured joint, but at the same time include the arm in its entirety and all associated joints. When it comes to upper limb movements in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, there are two diagonals: flexion - abduction - external rotation and extension - adduction - internal rotation and flexion - adduction - external rotation and extension - abduction - internal rotation. In order for the movements in the shoulder to be optimal, the balance in the movements of the scapula and the upper arm is important, and the movements of the scapula in PNF are important for the functional movement of the upper extremity. The movements of the scapula are anterior elevation, posterior depression, posterior elevation and anterior depression.
