Neurophysiologic/developmental tx technique
ROODS techniques
Developed to improve tone of mm
ROODS techniques
Calming of CNS
ROODS techniques
Manipulate CNS to Facilitate or inhibit mm function
ROODS techniques
Reduce spasticity
ROODS techniques
Improve soft tissue ROM
ROODS techniques
Increase mm strength and help stabilize jts
ROODS techniques
purposeful movement restoration
Main principles
Normalisation of tone
Main principles
Gradual developmental sequence
Main principles
Assess skin integrity, sensory/sensitivity - especially with elderly
Things to think about
3-5 times/ 3-5 minutes
General rule for inhibitory/ facilitatory
Used to improve tone of flaccid mm thru tactile stimulation
Facilitatory
“Piss off the cat” by petting it backwards
Applied Distal to proximal
Facilitatory
To reduce tone off mm, mainly the spasticity of mm
Inhibitory
Applied proximal to distal to calm down nervous system
Inhibitory
Light joint compression/approximation
Inhibitory techniques
Maintained stretch
