Exam #2: ROOD

Question 1

ROOD

Answer 1

• one of the older traditional neurophysiological approaches

- focus on SENSORY STIMULATION and DEVELOPMENTAL SEQUENCE

Question 2

ROOD: Sensory stimulation

Answer 2

-applying controlled sensory stimulation to activate reflexive arcs in body in order to bring about a desired motor response

Question 3

ROOD: Developmental sequence

Answer 3

-stimulating progression through developmental sequence

Question 4

Facilitative techniques

Answer 4

• flaccid

- low muscle tone patients

Question 5

Inhibitory techniques

Answer 5

• spasticity

- high muscle tone patients

Question 6

Facilitative: Tactile input

Answer 6

• light touch (stroking)

- brushing

Question 7

Facilitative: Proprioceptive input

Answer 7

• quick stretch
• vibration
• heavy joint compression (resistance greater than > body weight)
• resistance

Question 8

Facilitative: Thermal input

Answer 8

• A-icing (ice cups, targeting A sensory fibers)

- C-icing (ice cups, targeting C sensory fibers)

Question 9

Inhibitory: Tactile

Answer 9

-Slow stroking (relaxation, light stroke, down either side of spinal column)

Question 10

Inhibitory: Proprioceptive

Answer 10

• prolonged stretch (getting a muscle to calm down, low and slow stretch)
• joint approximation
• tendon pressure
• vestibular stimulation (log rolling, slow)

Question 11

Inhibitory: Thermal

Answer 11

• neutral warmth (wrapping up in a blanket)

- prolonged cooling
