The immediate effect of neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) treatment on the standing balance in younger persons. [Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the change in standing balance of younger persons after neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) treatment.  [Subjects] The subjects were 57 healthy young people, who were divided into three groups: The NJF group, and the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) group and the control group.  Four hip patterns of NJF or PNF were used.  [Results] The rate of change of FRT in the NJF group increased than the PNF group.  The root mean square area at NJF and PNF group increased than control group.  [Conclusion] The results suggest that caput femoris rotation function can be improved by NJF treatment, and that improvement of caput femoris rotation contributes to improve dynamic balance.
