INTRODUCTION
• Neurotherapeutic Approaches plays an important role in managing neurological disorders, delays as well as
diseases.
• These interventional approaches are aligned with motor learning, developmental patterns and neuroplasticity
theory which leads to train non-affected part of the brain to functionally compensate for affected area of the
brain.
• Patients with neurological symptoms, approached with a step wise manner, which consists of :
1. Identifying the anatomic location of lesion causing symptoms
2. Identifying the pathology involved
3. Generating differential diagnosis
4. Selecting appropriate tests and intervention

ROODS
Principles
• Normalizing Tone- Sensory input is required for normalization of tone to evoke
desired responses.
• Sequential Development of Ontogenic Motor Pattern – Sensory motor control is
based developmentally.
• Tonic neck and Labyrinthine reflexes assist or retard effects of sensory stimulation
• Stimulation of specific receptors produce three major reactions
• Different muscles have different duties
• Heavy work muscles should be integrated before light work muscles

NEURODEVELOPMENTAL THERAPY
Principles
• Therapy Works
• Treat The Individual As A Whole
• The Purpose Of Therapy Is To Increase The Individual’s Participation And Activity
• Build On The Individual’s Strength While Addressing The Impairments
• Individualize Intervention
• Treat In Past, Present And Future
• Team Work Is Critical For Best Care
• Typical Development Provides An Important Framework For Examination And Intervention
• Active Carryover Throughout Daily Life Is Important For Best Care
• NDT Reflects A Hands-on Intervention Process To Enhance Outcomes
• The Living Concept: The Integration Of Classic NDT Tenets With Current Scientific Findings
And Principles Of Neuroplasticity, Motor Control, Motor Development and Motor Learning
BOBATH
Principles
• Treat the individual as whole
• Basis for intervention is normal movement and their inter-relation
• Treatment includes facilitation and inhibition using key points of body control
• Encouragement of normal movement patterns and Discouragement of compensatory
movement
• Focusing on the quality of movement.
• Abnormal tone is always inhibited and normal response once elicited are always repeated
• Improvement of maximal functional recovery to promote the QoL
Stages
1. Initial flaccid stage
2. Stage Spasticity
3. Stage of Relative recovery
Application
E.g. Donning the shirt
- Position the shirt across knees with armhole visible
and sleeve between knees
- Bend forward placing affected extremity inside sleeve
- Bring collar to neck
- Sit upright dress the non-hemiplegic sleeve
- Button shirt from bottom to top
BRUNNSTORM
Principles
• Postural and attitudinal reflexes used as a means to alter tone in specific muscle
• Associated reactions used to initiate or alter synergy in early stage of recovery
• Stimulating skin over a muscle produces contraction of that muscle and facilitation of that
synergy to which that muscle belongs.
• Muscles are facilitated when are placed in their lengthened position and quick stretch
facilitates that muscle to contract and inhibits its antagonists
• Resistance facilitates the contraction of the muscle resisted
• Visual stimulation of self movement of part facilitates motion; and auditory stimuli assists to
perform desired movement.
STAGE BRUNNSTROM VOLUNTARY CONTROL GRADING
I Flaccidity
II Spasticity begins to develop. Associated reactions or minimal voluntary movement in
synergistic muscle groups.
III Spasticity reaches its peak. Voluntary movement in full synergy pattern (either flexion or
extension).
IV Spasticity begins to decline. Some movement combinations that do not follow the paths of
basic limb synergies.
V Spasticity continues to decline. More difficult movement combinations are mastered. Basic
limb synergies lose their dominance.
VI Spasticity disappears. Individual joint movement or isolation is possible. Coordination
approaches normalcy.
VII Normal motor function.
STAGE BRUNNSTROM VOLUNTARY CONTROL GRADING
I Flaccidity. Muscles are flaccid on involved side
II Spasticity begins to develop. Minimal spasticity and little or no active finger flexion
III Spasticity reaches its peak. Patient able to hold but unable to release through voluntary finger
flexion
IV Spasticity begins to decline. Patient able to release by lateral thumb movement with minimal
finger extension or through normal functional synergy
V Spasticity continues to decline. Voluntary mass extension of digits possible. Patient able to
hold onto cylindrical and spherical grasp with limited functional use
VI Spasticity disappears. Voluntary finger extension of fingers, lateral palmar grasp, three point
prehension and individual finger movement possible
VII Normal motor function.

Toes Extension Flexion
Name Associated Reaction
Homolateral limb
synkinesis
Mutual dependency exists between synergies of upper and lower limbs.
E.g. LL flexion on affected side evokes flexion of UL on the same side.
Imitation
synkinesis
Mirroring of movements occur in the affected side when movements are attempted or
performed on the unaffected side.
E.g. Flexion of the unaffected side will evoke flexion of the affected side.
Raimiste’s
phenomena
Associated movement produced during resisted abduction or adduction movements.
E.g. Abduction phenomenon - Resisted hip abduction of unaffected side will evoke hip
abduction on the affected side
Instinctive Grasp
Reaction
Closure of hand in response to contact of stationary object with palm of the hand
Instinctive
Avoiding Reaction
Stroking over palmar surface of hand in distal direction causes hyperextension of fingers
Souques’s finger
phenomenon
Elevation of the affected arm causes the paralyzed fingers to extend automatically
Proprioceptive
traction response
Stretch of any of the flexor muscles in upper limb evokes contraction of flexor muscles of
all other joints of pattern of UL
