Developed based on reflex or hierarchical model of CNS

When and who developed Rood’s approach

Can be categorized as on of the facilitation and inhibition of movement

Rood’s approach uses _______ to evoke motor response and use of ________ to promote changes in muscle tone

Applied to muscles and jts to elicit specific motor response

Evocation of desired muscular responses

Accomplishes thorugh the use of certain, appropriately applied sensory stimuli

Developmentally based on ontogenic developmental sequence

Current level of development and progress sequentially to higher levels of control

Used as purposeful activity to demand a response from the patient to elicit unconsciously the desired movement pattern

Responses of agonists, antagonists and synergists were believed to be reflexively programmed according to purpose or plan

Sensation that occurs as a result of movements involved in the activity helps the patient learn the movements

Necessary for motor learning

Activities are used not only to elicit purposeful responses but also motivate repetition

What does one of the principle of roods theory repeat

Required for normalization of tone and evocation of desired muscular responses

Play major role in the analysis of dysfunction and in the application of treatment

Light work muscle or mobility muscle

Muscle groups resp for skilled movement patterns with reciprocal inhibition of antagonist muscles

Fast glycolytic fiber type, superficial and usually one jt muscle

Have high metabolic cost and fatigues rapidly

Heavy work muscles or stability muscles

Responsible for jt stability with co contraction of muscles which are antagonists in normal movement

Slow oxidative fiber type, deep and usually single jt type

Have low metabolic cost and fatigues slowly

Leads to skilled and finely coordinated movements

Stages of motor control/sequence of motor development

Early mobility pattern that serves as a protective function

AKA reciprocal inhibition

Phasic(quick) type of movement taht requires contraction of the agonist muscle as the antagonist muscle relaxes

Reflex governed by spinal and supraspinal centers

Co-contraction, co-innervation

Simultaneous agonist and antagonust contraction with antagonist supreme

Tonic (static) muscle pattern

Provides ability to hold a position or object for a longer duration

Needed for feeding, early activities, using standing tables

Mobility superimposed on stability

Heavy work

Proximal muscles that contract and move whereas the distal segment is fixed

Creeping

Highest level of motor control and combines the effort of mobility and stability

Proximal segment is stabilized while distal segments move freely

Crawling, walking, reaching, activities requiring use of hand

Normalize myscle tone from hypertonic or spastic state

Normalize muscle tone from a flaccid state

The relearning muscular activity is based on the _________ ___ _________ which activate or deactivate the sensory receptors, utilizing afferent input to affect the _____ _____ _____ of the spinal cord

4 types of receptors to get desired muscular response

Total flexion response towards vertebral lvl t10

Requires reciprocal innervation with heavy work of proximal segments

Aids in integration of TLR

Recommended for pt with no reciprocal flexion

Recommended for pt that are extensor tone dominant

Mobility pattern for extremities and lateral trunk muscles

Flexion of UE and LE on the same side

Recommended for pt dominated by tonic reflex patterns in supine

Recommended stimulates semicircular canals which activates neck extraocular muscles

Demands full range extension neck, shoulders, trunk and lower extremities

Position difficult to assume and maintain

Important role in preparation for stability of extensor muscles in upright position

Associated with labyrinthine righting reaction of head

Bilateral holdung of proximal extensors in shortened range, reciprocal innervation pattern

First real stability pattern

Activates both flexors and tonic neck extensor muscles

Recommended for pt that need neck stability and extraocular control

Stretches the upper trunk musculature

Influences stability scapular and gh regions

Gives better visibility of environment

Allows weight shifting from side to side

Recommended for pt that needs to inhibit STNR

Follows stability of the neck and shoulder

Lower trunk and LE are brought into co contraction pattern

Initial posiiton is static and the abdomen may sag at t10 level which causes stretching of trunk and limb girdle

Shifting weight provides controlled mobility and may be preparatory to equilibrium responses

Skill of the upper trunk because it frees the UE for prehension and manipulation

Weight is first equally distributed on both legs and then weight shifting begins

Integration include righting action and equilibrium reaction

Gait pattern unites mobility, stability and skill

Normal locomotion entails the ability to support BW, maintain balance and execute the stepping motion

Sophisticated process requiring coordinated movement patterns of various parts of the body including weight shifting

Support the body weight, maintain balance and execute the stepping motion
