4-6 months Flashcards
4 month overview - symmetry
Symmetry of orientation and movement - balance flex/ext
4 month - core stability forming
Scapular stability forming
Rib cage descending and more stable
Pelvic stability - abdominal and gluteal co activation
4 month more
Visual activity inc Inc use of UEs Exploration especially with mouth Ant and post pelvic tilts Rolling
4 month old - prone Trunk
Extension - trunk and hips Caudal weight shift Ribcage development - desending Landau reactions begin - pivot prone Abdominal strengthening
4 month old - able to
Flex head on extended cervical spine
improved ocular control/head control/vestibular system
4 month old - supine skills
ATNR = integrated
Symmetrical actions/midline orientation
4 month old - supine skills head
Greater head control
Maintain midline’chin tucked
4 month old - supine - visually
Midline
Tracking
Torticollis - what happens if the baby has muscle tightness
Positioning in utero
Positioning as infant
Positions during sleep - sleeping in swing (GERD)
Asymmetry in strength
Abnormal postural development - low muscle tone, neuro disorders
4 month old - UEs - supine
Bilateral symmetrical control
Hold hands at midline
4 month old - LEs - supine
Some kicking, but often to midline while UEs are in midline play
4 month old - sidelying
Tactile/proprioceptive/visual/vestib input
Once balance of cervical flex and ext will see more rotation and lateral flexion
4 month old - pull to sit - cervical flexion
Midline orientation
Minimal to no lag present
4 month old - UE development - Reaching
Shaking
Holding
2 handed hold
No controlled release - grasp reflex
Mouthing object
Better control when given proximal stability
Reach consists of pronation, wrist extension, primitive ulnar grasp
4 month old - sitting
the more that they are supported the better their trunk functioning and the more they can use their arms for function
4 month old - positive support
Varaible of when they will take weight through legs/positive support
4 month old - standing - head
Forward in relationship to the hip
4 months old - standing - trunk
Symmetrical with weight anterior
4 month old - sanding - arms
Respond to type of support
4 motnh old - pelvis - standing
Ant pelvic tilt
4 month old - LEs - standing
Active glute/quads for hip/knee ext
Tow curling - plantar grasp
