Rood's approach is a neurophysiological technique developed in 1940 based on reflex models of motor control. It uses sensory stimulation to normalize tone and elicit desired muscle responses based on developmental sequences. The key concepts are:
1. Categorizing muscles as tonic or phasic for stability or mobility.
2. Using ontogenic sequences of motor and vital functions development.
3. Applying appropriate sensory stimuli like touch or vibration to proprioceptive, exteroceptive, and vestibular receptors.
4. Manipulating the autonomic nervous system with techniques like icing or warming.
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique developed in the 1940s to rehabilitate polio patients. It involves contracting and relaxing muscles while stretching to maximize flexibility. Common PNF techniques include hold-relax, contract-relax, and hold-relax-active contraction. The techniques use isometric contractions to trigger a reflex that allows deeper stretching. PNF can enhance strength, balance, mobility and treat neuromuscular deficits.
The Faradic Galvanic (FG) test assesses lower motor neuron problems by stimulating muscles with different electric currents. A brief tetanic contraction indicates intact innervation, while a sluggish response suggests denervation. The test involves using faradic current to search for motor points and elicit fast contractions in innervated muscles. Galvanic current then produces slow contractions in denervated muscles. However, the FG test is inaccurate and unreliable, correctly interpreting muscle reactions in only 50% of cases.
The document provides an overview of coordination and its assessment. It defines coordination as the ability to execute smooth, accurate movements through integration of the motor, cerebellar, vestibular and sensory systems. Coordination involves appropriate speed, direction, muscle tension and synergist influences. Coordination deficits are often related to conditions involving the cerebellum, basal ganglia or dorsal columns. Common tests of coordination include finger-to-nose, heel-to-knee, rapid alternating movements and Romberg's test. Treatment focuses on techniques like PNF, balance exercises, and Frenkel's exercises to improve coordination.
Frenkel exercises are a series of movements developed to treat patients with loss of proprioception. The exercises start simple and increase in difficulty, using visual and auditory cues to facilitate restoration of smooth, coordinated movement. Key principles are concentration, precision, and repetition of movements like limb motions and transfers of weight. Exercises progress from lying to sitting to standing positions and incorporate movement of the legs, arms, and whole body. The goal is to improve coordination, balance, proprioception and control through attention to rhythmic counting and placement of limbs in specific positions.
PNF is an exercise technique based on neurophysiological principles that uses resistance, manual contact, and stretching to facilitate muscle contraction and improve mobility through techniques like contract-relax, slow reversal, and rhythmic stabilization. It is commonly used in orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation to increase strength, flexibility, coordination and functional mobility through specific patterns targeting different areas of the body like the upper and lower extremities. Research has found PNF techniques are effective in rehabilitation of injuries to the knee, shoulder, and hip and its use has increased in ankle rehabilitation as well.
The McKenzie Method is a classification system and treatment approach developed by Robin McKenzie for back, neck, and extremity pain. It involves assessing a patient's response to various movements and positions to determine the cause of their pain and develop an individualized exercise plan. The goals are to centralize or reduce pain. There are three main syndromes - postural, dysfunction, and derangement - each with different treatments like posture correction, mobilizing exercises, or movements to induce a directional preference. The McKenzie Method aims to actively involve patients to self-manage their pain.
This document discusses balance, fall prevention, and balance assessment and training. It defines balance as control of the center of mass over the base of support. Age-related changes and diseases that impact balance components are reviewed. Valid tools to measure balance include the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, and Functional Reach test. Balance training exercises discussed include calf stretches, heel/toe raises, soft surface stance, and exercises using movable surfaces like Swiss balls and tilt boards. Both hard and soft surfaces are used to challenge static and dynamic balance.
This document discusses various types of pathological gaits, which refer to abnormal walking patterns caused by medical conditions. It describes gaits due to pain, muscular issues, deformities, and neurological problems. Specific gaits mentioned include antalgic, psoatic, gluteus maximus, quadriceps, genu recurvatum, hemiplegic, scissoring, dragging, sensory ataxic, foot drop, equinus, and knock knee gaits. Each gait type is characterized by distinct features in terms of leg, hip, knee, and trunk positioning and movement during walking. The document provides details on the anatomical causes and compensations that result in these pathological walking patterns.
1. Neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) was developed in 1948 by Berta and Karel Bobath to treat patients with central nervous system damage like hemiplegia and stroke.
2. NDT uses a problem-solving approach involving examination of posture, movement, functional skills, and systems to develop individualized treatment plans. The goal is to minimize impairments and prevent secondary disabilities.
3. The NDT examination process evaluates clients holistically, incorporates their family/environment, and identifies both limitations and competencies to inform treatment planning.
This document discusses various types of pathological and abnormal gaits. It begins by outlining common causes of abnormal gait such as pain, joint limitations, muscle weakness, neurological involvement, and leg length discrepancies. It then describes specific gaits in more detail, including antalgic gait, psoatic gait, gluteus maximus gait, gluteus medius gait, quadriceps gait, genu recurvatum gait, hemiplegic gait, scissoring gait, dragging gait, cerebellar ataxic gait, sensory ataxic gait, short shuffling gait, foot drop gait, equinus gait, calcaneal g
Functional re-education aims to retrain patients' movements and activities that they already know but cannot properly perform due to illness or injury. The goal is to increase independence through a tailored program of progressive exercises. Exercises may include rolling, sitting, kneeling, standing, and walking activities. Principles include thorough assessment, task-specific treatment, and avoiding discouragement to build confidence and independence over time.
The document discusses the H-reflex, which is a monosynaptic reflex elicited by electrically stimulating sensory neurons that monitor muscle stretch. Specifically:
- The H-reflex was discovered in 1918 and involves stimulating Ia fibers that monitor muscle stretch rate, which triggers a reflex response through the spinal cord and back to the same muscle.
- It is consistently obtained by stimulating the tibial nerve below the knee and recording from the gastrocnemius-soleus muscle, but can also be recorded in the median nerve and femoral nerve.
- To record the H-reflex, active and reference electrodes are placed on the calf muscles and ground electrode is placed between the stimulating and active electrodes.
Balance, or postural stability, is the process by which the body maintains equilibrium by keeping its center of mass over its base of support. It requires integration of sensory inputs from the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems and appropriate muscle responses from the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. When any of the sensory systems are impaired, the central nervous system compensates by increasing reliance on the other intact systems through a process called sensory organization. Different tasks require different types of balance control, including static balance to maintain a stable position at rest and dynamic balance during voluntary movements.
This document discusses motor control and postural control. It defines motor control as the study of movement, which arises from the interaction of perception, cognition, individual characteristics, task constraints, and environmental factors. Postural control maintains stability and orientation through steady-state, reactive, and proactive balance. Steady-state balance involves alignment and muscle tone to counteract gravity. Reactive balance uses strategies like ankle/hip adjustments or changing support when perturbed. Proactive balance anticipates forces through sensory information and experience to stabilize movements like lifting objects. Environmental constraints and cognitive loads also influence balance control.
This document provides an overview of posture biomechanics, including:
1. Definitions of static and dynamic posture, and descriptions of optimal sagittal and frontal plane alignment.
2. Explanations of how posture is controlled through sensory inputs, muscle activity, and strategies like fixed support and changing support.
3. Analyses of deviations from optimal posture, including positions of the foot, knee, spine, and effects of sitting and lying postures. Factors like age, gender, and occupation are also discussed.

Detailed explanation about balance and balance training.
Balance refers to an individuals ability to maintain their line of gravity within their Base of support (BOS). It can also be described as the ability to maintain equilibrium, where equilibrium can be defined as any condition in which all acting forces are cancelled by each other resulting in a stable balanced system.
BALANCE SYSTEMS:
The following systems provides input regarding the body's equilibrium and thus maintains balance.
Somatosensory / Proprioceptive System
Vestibular System
Visual System
The Central Nervous System receives feedback about the body orientation from these three main sensory systems and integrates this sensory feedback and subsequently generates a corrective, stabilizing torque by selectively activating muscles. In normal condition, healthy subjects rely 70% on somatosensory information and 20% Vestibular & 10% on Vision on firm surface but change to 60% vestibular information, 30% Vision & 10% somatosensory on unstable surface.
SOMATOSENSORY SYSTEM:
Proprioceptive information from spino-cerebellar pathways, processed unconsciously in the cerebellum, are required to control postural balance. Proprioceptive information has the shortest time delays, with monosynaptic pathways that can process information as quickly as 40–50 ms and hence the major contributor for postural control in normal conditions.
VESTIBULAR SYSTEM:
The vestibular system generates compensatory responses to head motion via:
Postural responses (Vestibulo-Spinal Reflex) - keep the body upright and prevent falls when the body is unexpectedly knocked off balance.
Ocular-motor responses (Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex) - allows the eyes to remain steadily focused while the head is in motion.
Visceral responses (Vestibulo-Colic Reflex) - help keep the head and neck centred, steady, and upright on the shoulders.
VISUAL SYSTEM:
For non-impaired individuals, under normal conditions the contribution of visual system to postural control is partially redundant as the visual information has longer time delays as long as 150-200 ms.
Friedrich et al. observed that adults with visual disorders were able to adapt peripheral, vestibular, somatosensory perception and cerebellar processing to compensate for their visual information deficit and to provide good postural control.
In addition, Peterka found that adults with bilateral vestibular deficits can enhance their visual and proprioceptive information even more than healthy adults in order to reach effective postural stability.
The influence of moving visual fields on postural stability depends on the characteristics of the visual environment, and of the support surface, including the size of the base of support, its rigidity or compliance.
TYPES OF BALANCE:
Balance can be classified in to :
Static Balance:
Dynamic Balance
This document discusses postural control and balance. It defines key terms like static and dynamic balance, center of mass, center of gravity. It describes the different sensory systems, motor responses, and strategies involved in maintaining balance. Common balance impairments after stroke are described. Several clinical balance tests are mentioned. The principles of balance training include progressive challenge, use of feedback, and training functional tasks. Safety during balance training is also addressed.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD POSTURE (Prerequisites of good posture)
For good posture to be maintained the following must be obtained:
The ability to maintain 'the body upright in good and erect position with less energy.
The ability to maintain balance in upright position via keeping the line of gravity near the center of the base of support.
Quadruped Vs Bipedal
Quadruped posture
Body weight is distributed between the upper and lower extremities
Good stability
Bipedal posture
Unique found in human
Small BOS
Use of upper extremities
Instability caused by a small BoS and a high CoM
BASE OF SUPPORT
BOS is defined by an area bounded posteriorly by the tips of the heels and anteriorly by a line joining the tips of the toes
CENTER OF MASS

This document defines balance and its components, types, evaluation, and training. It states that balance is the ability to control the center of mass in relation to the base of support. The main components of balance are the sensory systems (visual, somatosensory, vestibular), sensory integration, feedback and feedforward mechanisms, and motor components. There are three types of balance: static, dynamic, and automatic. Balance is evaluated through tests like Romberg tests and functional reach tests. Balance training focuses on static, dynamic, and anticipatory postural control through exercises involving stable and unstable surfaces, narrow stances, and additional tasks.
assessment of balance and management of balanceCharu Parthe
The document defines various concepts related to balance and exercise therapy. It discusses the center of mass, center of gravity, momentum, base of support, limits of stability, ground reaction forces, and center of pressure. It also describes the roles of the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and environmental context in balance control. The main sensory systems involved in balance - visual, somatosensory, and vestibular - are defined. Different motor strategies for maintaining balance when perturbed are outlined, including ankle, weight-shift, suspension, and hip strategies. Stepping is mentioned as another strategy for large perturbations.

The document discusses the neurophysiology of balance, including the role of the sensory systems (vision, proprioception, vestibular), musculoskeletal system, and nervous system in maintaining balance. It defines balance and related terms, and describes how the central nervous system integrates input from the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems to generate motor responses that control body position. When one sensory system is impaired, the CNS can suppress the inaccurate input and rely more on the other two systems through sensory re-organization. The musculoskeletal system also contributes through factors like posture, range of motion, strength, and type of muscle contraction.
This document discusses the biomechanics of posture. It defines posture and describes active and inactive postures. Good posture involves maximum efficiency with minimal effort, while poor posture is inefficient. Factors like joint issues, muscle imbalances, and prolonged sitting can predispose someone to poor posture. The postural mechanism involves muscles, nervous control through reflexes, and skin sensation. A biomechanical analysis examines forces like gravity and ground reaction forces, as well as muscle activity. Optimal posture minimizes these external forces through proper body alignment. Common postural disorders and faulty postures are also discussed.
This document provides information about balance, equilibrium, and exercises to improve balance. It defines balance as maintaining the body's position in equilibrium. Equilibrium means the body is either at rest or steady motion. Balance is achieved when the center of mass is over the base of support. Sensory systems like visual, somatosensory, and vestibular provide information about body position. Tests are used to assess balance and identify impairments. Balance exercises improve agility, stability, and fall prevention. Static exercises maintain postures while dynamic exercises involve movement. The Otego home exercise program uses exercises like sit-to-stand, tandem walking, knee extension, toe standing, and heel standing to improve balance, strength, posture,
This document provides an overview of biomechanics of posture. It defines static and dynamic posture and describes the major goals and elements of postural control, including maintaining the body's center of gravity over its base of support and stabilizing the head vertically. It discusses perturbations that can disrupt posture and the fixed and change-in-support synergies used to regain equilibrium. Key aspects of posture such as external forces, ground reaction forces, and optimal alignment are summarized. Common postural deviations are also outlined.
Posture - a perquisite for functional abilities in daily life. Posture is a combination of anatomy and physiology with inherent application of bio-mechanics and kinematics. Sitting, standing, walking are all functional activities depending on the ability of the body to support that posture to carry out each activity. Injuries and pathologies either postural or structural can massively change the bio-mechanics of posture and thus affect functional abilities.
This document discusses posture and postural alignment. It defines posture and describes the development of spinal curvature from birth. Good posture is defined as a position with stability, balance and minimal effort. Poor posture results from deviations from good alignment. Factors like muscles, nerves, reflexes and the central nervous system contribute to postural control. Techniques for assessing and correcting posture include exercises, stretching, strengthening, taping and myofascial release. Maintaining mobility, muscle balance and retraining awareness can help improve poor posture.

Syringomylia Physiotherapy Percpective.pptxSusan Jose
Syringomyelia is a condition where an abnormal fluid-filled cavity forms within the spinal cord, compressing the spinal cord and nerve tracts. It is usually caused by conditions that obstruct the flow of cerebrospinal fluid such as Arnold-Chiari malformation, meningitis, or spinal cord trauma. Symptoms depend on the location of the syrinx within the spinal cord and can include loss of sensation, neuropathic pain, spasticity, weakness, scoliosis, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and headaches. An MRI is needed for definitive diagnosis. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause through surgery if possible. Physiotherapy management identifies impairments and develops compensatory or restorative treatment approaches through goal setting

This document provides information on various cranial nerves including their functions, testing methods, and abnormalities. It discusses the olfactory nerve and how anosmia can result from injury to sites in the olfactory pathway. For the optic nerve, it describes testing visual acuity with an eye chart and visual fields with confrontation testing, and conditions like blindness, myopia and presbyopia that can arise from abnormalities. Various cranial nerves like the oculomotor, trochlear, abducens and others are also covered, along with their functions and testing methods.
Voluntary Control and Assessment Physiotherapy Perspective.pptxSusan Jose
This document discusses voluntary control of movements and assessment methods. Voluntary control is the ability to produce and control movements volitionally and adapt to tasks and the environment. Normal synergy involves linked muscles acting cooperatively, while abnormal synergy is stereotypical and non-adaptable. Assessment can be qualitative using grading scales or quantitative using tools like the Fugl-Meyer Assessment which evaluates motor function, sensation, balance, and range of motion. The Trunk Impairment Scale assesses trunk control in sitting and coordination. Good assessment informs effective treatment.
Gait training Physiotherapy perspective.pptxSusan Jose
do you know what is gait?
lets know more this presentation.
can physiotherapist help you with your walking abilities. click on the above slide to know more.
This document summarizes gait assessment, which involves analyzing the positions and motions of body segments during walking. It describes the phases of gait and methods for kinematic gait assessment, including observational gait analysis using video from different views and motion analysis systems using cameras and sensors. Key kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters that are assessed are identified, such as step length, stride duration, joint angles, and ground reaction forces. Adaptability of gait is also evaluated using tools like the Dynamic Gait Index to assess fall risk.
Pain is a very distressing sensation.
To treat pain it is important to understand how it is perceived and internally control by the body itself.
Here in this presentation you will understand how normally pain is perceived and how normally our body controls it.
Higher mental functions include cognition and behavior such as orientation, attention, memory, communication, executive functions, and complex perception. These should be assessed first as they can impact motor and sensory exams. Orientation involves understanding time, place, and identity. Attention includes selective, sustained, alternating, and divided attention. Memory involves registration, retention, and recall, and can be impacted by amnesia or delirium. Communication assesses language comprehension and production. The brain regions responsible include the medial temporal lobe, hippocampus, and specific areas for aphasia or dysarthria. Higher mental functions can be quickly screened using the MMSE, with scores below 24 indicating impairment.
This scale is used to categrise spinal cord injury patients. it helps prognosticate the spinal cord injuires. it also helps define the treatment protocols for spinal cord injury patients. American Spinal Cord Injury Association made this scale so as to make a standardization in assesemnent technique in acute spinal cord injury patients.
Glasgow comma scale and Mini mental Assessment scale.pptxSusan Jose
The document discusses the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) which are used to assess impaired consciousness and cognitive status. The GCS evaluates eye opening, motor, and verbal responses on a scale of 3-15 to describe consciousness impairment. The MMSE is a screening tool that assesses cognition on a scale of 0-30, with scores below 18 indicating severe impairment. Both are commonly used for interdisciplinary communication about a patient's brain injury severity and cognitive disorders.

30 – Hours Yogic Sukshma Vyayama Teacher Training Course
What is Sukshma Yoga?
Dhirendra Brahmachari formulated this system and wrote books to clearly formulate the ancient yogic science. This practice simple yet powerful series of specific exercises that improve health and enhance the strength of different organs and systems in the body, from top of head to toes.
Suksma means subtle prana, mind, and intellect: Vyayama means exercise. Suksma Vyayama is meant for the Subtle Body (Suksma Sarira), it is not meant for the Sthula Sarira (Gross Physical Body).
Need of Suksma Vyayama
In yoga, it is said that most pranic blockages start in our joints. Ayurveda says that ‘ama’ or the toxic and undigested waste material tends to settle in the empty spaces of our body, the joints. To remove these impurities we practice Suksma Vyayama, to release any such impurities in our subtle pranic body.
Three dimension of suksma Vyayama:
1.Breathing (slow or fast: Bhastrika/Bellows)
2.Point of concentration (mental concentration on Chakras)
3.Exercise (using Bandhas and Mudras)
Sukshma yoga purifies and recharges the body, mind, energy, and emotion. It prepares the well foundation for further means of Yoga practice. It includes Sukshma Vyayama (Subtle Exercise), and Vishram (Rest & Relaxation). It is itself complete package that fulfills the basic need of human being.
Sukshma Vyayama is one of the major parts for physical activity and the regulation of entire physiologies. Sukshma Vyayama is also known as a kind of warm up exercise or basic exercise or clinically anti-rheumatic group of exercise and also called body scan. The system of the physical and breathing exercise which help to sequentially work out all joints of a body, to warm it up. This system has a strong purifying effect on energy body of a human.
1.1. History of Sukshma Vyayama
We will observe visible Parampara of Sukshma Vyayama. Literal meaning of Parampara is the continuous chain of succession by Master to followers. In Parampara system, the knowledge is passed on without changes from generation to generation). Unfortunately because of the absence of enough information we are not able to find sources of this tradition.
System of Sukshma Vyayama knowledge which was unknown in the west before that was extended by one of outstanding yoga masters, Dhirendra Brahmachari (1925-1994). He received Initiation into Sukshma Vyayama techniques from Maharshi Kartikeya, the prophet and sacred great yogi who was his Master. In the preface to the book “Yogic Sukshma Vyayama” Dhirendra Brahmachari wrote about his precious Guru. Deep knowledge made him the unique expert of human characters, of their abilities and possibilities. From Maharshi Kartikeya, Dhirendra Brahmachari received a precept to spread knowledge about Sukshma Vyayama. The invaluable merit of Dhirendra Brahmachari is that he managed to accumulate knowledge in the convenient form, to make it open and understandable for the audience everywhere. The b

Yoga Nidra Retreat in Bangalore
A restful night is key to a healthy lifestyle. The reason behind many health issues that most people have from the modern way of living is nothing but lack of proper sleep. Well, it’s not like they don’t want to sleep, lack of time, an after-effect of day-long stress, and long-term anxiety trigger sleeplessness and thus respective disorders as well.
As per the recent survey, the insomnia percentage in India is above 33%, and the people who are most likely to be impacted with sleep deprivation hover around 52%. These numbers are higher compared to other countries.
Are you one of those populations suffering from sleeplessness and health issues due to lack of proper sleep? If Yes, then you must know that Yoga is the only way to get out of your situation to ensure restful nights after daylong stress and busy working schedules throughout the week.
Besides, even scientific studies prove that frequent consumption of stress-relieving, depression, or sleeping pills is not at all good for health and the brain. In such a scenario, Yoga is the only effective and probably most reliable way to get your sleep on track. Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham will be on your side as a reliable Weekend Yoga Nidra Retreat in Bangalore.

Prezentacja - The Importance of Gratitude in Daily Life
Slide 1: Introduction
Welcome to the presentation on the importance of gratitude in daily life. Today, we'll explore how cultivating gratitude can significantly impact our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Slide 2: What is Gratitude?
Gratitude is the practice of acknowledging and appreciating the good things in our lives, big and small. It involves recognizing the positive aspects of our experiences, relationships, and circumstances rather than focusing solely on what's lacking or negative. Cultivating gratitude involves a mindset shift towards abundance and appreciation.
Slide 3: Psychological Benefits
Gratitude plays a crucial role in enhancing mental health by reducing negative emotions such as envy, resentment, and frustration. Research indicates that practicing gratitude promotes more positive emotions like happiness and satisfaction with life. Studies have shown that gratitude can lead to improved overall well-being and a greater sense of fulfillment.
Slide 4: Emotional Resilience
Gratitude fosters emotional resilience by helping individuals cope with stress and adversity more effectively. It encourages a mindset that focuses on solutions and growth rather than dwelling on problems. By finding reasons to be grateful even in challenging times, individuals can develop resilience and maintain a positive outlook.
Slide 5: Social Benefits
Expressing gratitude strengthens relationships by fostering feelings of connection and appreciation. When we show gratitude towards others, it deepens our bonds and encourages reciprocity in kindness and support. Gratitude also enhances empathy and compassion, leading to more meaningful social interactions.
Slide 6: Physical Health Benefits
Gratitude isn't just beneficial for mental and emotional well-being; it also impacts physical health. Research suggests that grateful individuals may experience better sleep, reduced inflammation, and improved immune function. Adopting a grateful mindset can contribute to overall holistic health and well-being.
Slide 7: Cultivating Gratitude
There are practical ways to cultivate gratitude in daily life. Keeping a gratitude journal, where you write down things you're thankful for each day, can help reinforce positive emotions. Additionally, expressing gratitude to others through thank-you notes or verbal appreciation can strengthen relationships and increase overall happiness.
Slide 8: Conclusion
In conclusion, integrating gratitude into our daily routines can lead to profound positive changes in our lives. By focusing on what we are thankful for, we shift our perspective towards abundance and possibilities. Embracing gratitude empowers us to live more fully and joyfully, enhancing both our personal well-being and the quality of our relationships.
