Stroke rehabilitation conducted by PNF method

PNF - (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) I did not have this but this article explains a lot.

short excerpt here:
The PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular
Facilitation) is a method
used in post-stroke treatment, where
the functional therapy is a process of
gradual restitution of patient’s motor
abilities5,6,7. It is a method of neuromuscular
dysfunction treatment,
primarily by means of facilitating the
flow of information, mainly by the
stimulation of proprioceptors8. Restoration
of normal movement based on
movement patterns, basic principles
and techniques is directed towards
normalisation of muscle tone.

Possible exercises here: most of these require a second person,
