Roods Approach

Roods Approach

Roods approach is a neurophysiological and development approach that was developed by

margeret rood in 1950s and 1970s

At first it is used for CP patient later it's used at patient with motor control problem mainly

neurological conditions ,rheumatoid arthritis , osteoarthritis , post fracture and soft tissue injury

Roods approach believes that motor output dependent on sensory input and it is also based on

the reflex /hierarchical model of the CNS ,where the movement is facilitated or inhibited for

rehabilitation purpose

Motor pattern are developed from primitive reflexes which is utilized and gradually modified

through sensory stimuli until the higher control is gain

Appropriate sensory receptors utilized in normal sequential development will help to elicit

normal motor response

Principles of roods approach

 normalization of tone

Using appropriate sensory stimuli for evocating the desired muscular response

 Ongenic development sequence

According to roods sensory motor control is development based so that during treatment therapist

must assess current level of development and then try to reach next higher level of control

 Purposeful movement

Roods use purposeful activities which can help to get the desired movement patterns from the

patient

 Repetition movement

Roods encouraged to use repetitive movement for motor learning

Basic concepts of roods approach

According to roods sensory input is required for normalization of tone and evocation of motor response  (^) Mobility muscle/stability muscle  (^) Ongenic development pattern  (^) Appropriate sensory stimuli  (^) Manipulation of autonomic system

Stability muscle/ heavy muscle/

tonic muscle

I. Muscles responsible for joint stability with co-contraction muscle ,which are antagonist in normal moment II. Example extensors And adductors III. Deep muscles IV. Single joint V. Slow fatigue VI. Low metabolic rate
