reflex and the hierarchic theories
Rood Approach
Two components of Rood Approach
- controlled sensory stimulation
- developmental sequences
Proximodistal and Cephalocaudal
- flexion precedes extension
- Adduction precedes abduction
- Ulnar patterns preced radial
- Rotation develops last
Mobilizer Muscles
Phasic
Stabilizer Muscles.
tonic
Joints are composed of two opposing muscles namely
agonist = flexor
antagonist = extensor
a type of movement requiring
CONTRACTION -> AGONIST
RELAXED -> ANTAGONIST
mobility pattern
contraction of agonist and antagonist muscle.
stability pattern
Considered a stability pattern
Cocontraction/Coinnervation
An early mobility pattern
Reciprocal Inhibition/Innervation
Mobility on Stability
Heavy Work
Highest level of motor control
Skill
Supine Flexion
Supine Withdrawal
