Guidelines for exercise during pregnancy - when to start

A

first trimester, more than 12 weeks of gestation

22
Q

Guidelines for exercise during pregnancy - when to end

A

Until delivery (as tolerated)

23
Q

What is FOAD?

A

Fetal origins of adult diseases

24
Q

FOAD hypothesis

A

Events that happen very early in fetal development can have a profound impact on the risk for incurring disease as an adult

25
Q

Genetic factors - name 2

A

Chromosome disorders
Gene-based disorders

26
Q

3 types of gene-based disorders

A

Phenylketonuria = intellectual disability, seizures, behavioral problems, mental disorders, musty odor
Cystic fibrosis
Sickle cell disease and Trait

27
Q

2 examples of genetic testing

A

Fetal ultrasound
Maternal blood testing

28
Q

Reflexes that are critical to ensuring nourishment and protection

A

Primitive reflexes

29
Q

Reflexes that are considered the basis for more complex voluntary movement of later infancy

A

Postural reflexes

30
Q

Infant reflexes disappear by what age

A

By end of the first year

31
Q

Name the 3 infant reflexes known

A
  • Sucking
  • Search or rooting
  • Labyrinthine
32
Q

role of the primitive reflexes

A

Ensure survival (suppressed by 6 months of age)

33
Q

Where are the primitive reflexes produced?

A

Produced SUBCORTICALLY

34
Q

Name some of the postural reflexes

A
  • Swimming
  • Head-righting
  • Labyrinthine
  • Crawling
  • Pull-up
  • Parachuting down
  • Stepping
  • Body-righthing
  • Side
  • Back
35
Q

Where are postural reflexes produced?

A

Cortically, higher brain centers
Some are considered precursors to complex movement

36
Q

2 most commonly used reflexes for diagnosis

A

Moro reflex
Assymmetrical tonic neck reflex

37
Q

Fluctuations from the normal timeline of reflexes appearance/disappearance is common

A

TRUE, only severe deviations may indicate a problem

38
Q

What are stereotypies?

A

Are rhythmic, patterned, centrally controlled movement behavior of infancy apparently not learned through imitation or a consequence of external stimuli.
