Q

What is normal msucle tone?

A

normal muscle tone is a continuous state of mild contraction of the muscles that is controlled by CNS and PNS structures

-The stretch reflex is controlled or mediated by the muscle spindle and is essential for maintaining muscle tone. The stretch reflex produces tension for stability to allow voluntary movement.

Q

What is the basic assumption of Rood approach?

A

appropriate sensory stimulation can elicit specific motor responses.

muscle action should be activated, facilitated and inhibited through the sensory system

Q

Procedure and Precaution for the Icing Technique

A

applied to the dorsal web spaces of the palms and soles

icing behind the ear decreases blood pressure

Precaution: not for people with cervical spinal cord injury because of the increased risk of producing dysreflexia

Q

Purpose of the tapping technique

A

The stimulus acts on the muscle spindle and increases the tone of the underlying skeletal muscles.

Q

Procedure for Therapeutic Vibration and Precautions

A

stimulus is applied over a muscle belly and parallel with the muscle fibers.

Precautions:
not be used with children,
person 65 yo older because of thin skin
individuals with extra pyramidal or cerebellar lesions
Proper training for the therapist

Q

Clinical Signs of Inhibition

A

1) Pupils appear fixed - gazed
2) Change in respiration - slowed and deepened
3) Change in voice quality - lower and softer
4) Gurgling noises of the GI tract - borborygmus
5) Changes in skin color - dilation of PNS
6) Muscle jerks - minor twitches when sleeping

Q

Negative Critiques of Rood

A
  • Has many precautions to protect individuals whose nervous system is not intact
  • limited because of the passive nature of these techniques
  • short-lasting effect from the stimulation
  • unpredictable effects of some sensory stim
  • involves more complicated mechanisms than superficial stimulating of receptors beneath the skin
