How did Rood feel about reflexes?
Love 'em. Stressed the importance of them in relearning motor control.
-
Rood's 4 basic principles
- 1 - sensory input is necessary for normalizing tone and evoking desired muscle responses
- 2 - "sensory motor control is developmentally based"
- 3 - movement is purposeful (some motivation, involvement, is necessary if you want a pt to produce a normal response)
- 4 - repetition is necessary for learning
-
Rood's 2 sequences of dev which are interrelated and ongoing
- 1 - vital functions
- 2 - skeletal functions
-
Rood's vital functions
- inspiration
- expiration (coughing, crying)
- sucking
- swallowing
- phonation
- speach (comes later, regarded s a skill)
-
Rood's 4 levels of skeletal functions
- mobility
- stability
- controlled mobility
- skill
- flopping
- being able to keep your head on straight
- walking
- fiddling
-
ontogenetic def
its rel to Rood
normal dev in an individual or organism
she id'ed 8 ontogenetic motor sequential patterns within her designated skeletal functions (mobility, stability, controlled mobility, skill)
-
Rood's 8 ontogenetic motor patterns
- supine withdrawal
- segmental rolling
- pivot prone (prone extesnion)
- neck co-contraction (quadruped_
- supporting self on elbows (prone on elbows)
- all fours movement patterns
- standing
- walking
-
Rood's mobililty ontogenetic motor patterns
- withdrawal
- rolling
- pivot prone (also under stability)
-
Rood's stability ontogenetic motor patterns
- pivot prone (it's also under mobility)
- prone on elbows (holding contractions in this pos. is important for developing proximal stability)
- quadruped (goal: co-contraction of neck muscles that'll contribute to stability)
-
point of pivot-prone
- it's a pre-req for all WB patterns
- major postural muscles are activated in shortened pos.
-
Rood's controlled mobility ontogenetic motor patterns
- wt shifting on elbows
- wt shifting in quadruped
- wt shifting shile stnading
- trunk motion on fixed LEs
Rood called this the "heavy work"
-
Rood's skilled bits
- distal part of extremity is free from supporting surface
- proximal parts of UE will show more preciion in contral than distal parts
- prox to distal dev
-
Rood's skilled patterns
- head movements
- walking on elbows
-
Rood's facilitation techniques
- light stroking
- brushing
- quick icing
- joint compression
-
Rood's inhibitory techniques
- joint approximation
- light compression
- neutral warmth
- pressure on tendon insertion
- slow rhytmic movement
-
Rood on positioning
- says it's a primary concern, esp when there's little vol. control
- uses mats, bolsters, balls, etc.
she's a fan of putting movement patterns into games like tug of war to add a fun focus
