Traditional Approach- ROOD

Question 1

Goal

Answer 1

Use of developmental sequence

Goal= to obtain homeostasis in motor output and to activate muscles & perform a task independently of a stimulus.

Once a response is obtained, the sensory stimulus is withdrawn.
Sensory stimulation used to facilitate or inhibit.

Question 2

Facilitation——inhibition

sensory stim techniques

Answer 2

Approximation; Joint Compression----- Deep pressure
Icing-----prolonged stretch
Light touch------warmth
quick stretch-----prolonged cold 
resistance-----carotid
tapping----na
traction------na

Question 3

Heavy work

Answer 3

A method used to develop stability by performing an activity (work) against gravity or resistance. Heavy work focuses on strengthening of postural muscles

Question 4

Light work

Answer 4

A method used to develop controlled movement and skilled function by performing an activity (work) without resistance. Light work focuses on extremity muscles.

Question 5

Key patterns

Answer 5

A developmental sequence developed by Rood– to work from synergy through controlled motion.

Question 6

Interventions

Answer 6

• Use of sensory input to achieve motor output
• Movement is considered autonomic and non-cognitive
• Homeostasis of all systems is essential.
• Use of sensory stimulation to facilitate or inhibit
• Exercise must provide proper sensory feedback in order for it to be effective.
