Short Answer: Name one key principle of the Roods approach.
The use of sensory input to elicit desired motor responses.
Fill in the blank: The Roods approach integrates _______ into treatment plans to improve motor function.
therapeutic exercises
What role does proprioceptive feedback play in the Roods approach?
It helps in the modulation of movement and muscle tone.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a goal of the Roods approach? A) Increase muscle strength B) Decrease patient mobility C) Promote learned helplessness D) Encourage sedentary behavior
A) Increase muscle strength
What is the importance of the environment in the Roods approach?
The environment is tailored to facilitate movement and enhance sensory experiences.
True or False: The Roods approach does not consider the psychological aspects of movement disorders.
False
Short Answer: Describe how the Roods approach views the relationship between sensory input and motor output.
It views them as interconnected, where sensory input can influence motor output.
Fill in the blank: Techniques in the Roods approach often begin with _______ activities.
simple
What is the significance of using both facilitation and inhibition techniques?
They provide a comprehensive approach to managing movement disorders by addressing both overactive and underactive muscles.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following best describes the Roods approach? A) A purely cognitive approach B) An approach focusing on emotional regulation C) A sensory-motor approach D) A pharmacological approach
C) A sensory-motor approach

Observation of muscle response to passive movement.
Fill in the blank: The Roods approach encourages _______ to promote functional movement.
active participation
What is the role of graded activities in the Roods approach?
They help to progressively challenge the patient and improve motor control.
