| Describe inversion. | § Extremely facilitory § Increases extensor tone § Use with care in patient's with decreased BP | |
| Describe vibration. | o Light pressure (facilitatory) deep pressure (inhibitory) o No longer than 1-2 min o Apply over muscle belly to start, then move toward tendon o Muscle should be on stretch or contracting | |
| What are the traditional Rood inhibition treatment techniques? | Neutral warmth, slow stroking, light joint compression, slow rolling, gentle shaking, tendonous pressure | |
| Describe the inhibition technique of neutral warmth. | § Use with hypertonia § Wrap extremity or body in cotton blanket 5-10 minutes § Affects hypothalamus - stimulates parasympathetic system § Decreased mustle tone | |
| Describe the inhibition technique of slow stroking. | § no more than 3 min; deep pressure moving over dorsal distribution of primary posterior rami | |
| Describe the inhibition technique of light joint compression (approximation). | Inhibits hypertonic muscles; afterwards circumduct humerus to reduce pain | |
| Describe the inhibition technique of slow rolling. | § Sidelying; roll to prone and back | |
| Describe the inhibition technique of gentle shaking (rocking). | § Rocking during developmental patterns. ie: quadruped. Later incorporate neck movements | |
| Describe the inhibition technique of tendonous pressure. | § To insertion of tendon § GTO and pacinian corpuscles stimulated |
