5. Post natal motor development Flashcards
Name the 9 developmental stages
- Prenatal dev.
- Infancy and toddlerhood
- Early childhood
- Middle childhood
- Adolescence
- Late adulthood
- Death and dying
Age for prenatal stage (2 parts)
Embryonic stage = 0 to 8 weeks
Fetal stage = 8 weeks to birth
Age infancy stage
Birth to 1 yo
What age corresponds to neonatal?
Birth to 22 days
Age of toddler stage
1-4 years
Age of early childhood
Infancy to 7 yo
2 types of developmental direction
Cephalocaudally
Proximodistal
5 main characteristics of motor development
- In a predictable sequence
- At a variable rate
- As a continuous process
- From simple to complex
- From general to specific
Scammon’s growth curve - define principle
Not all tissue systems grow at the same rate
Summarization of the differential nature of postnatal growth
Sensory and motor development by age 1, most children (2)
- Like to put things in their mouths
- Pull up holding to something
- Cruise (walk with holding smt)
- Pincer grasp
Physical development by age 1, most children
Taller
Gotten HEAVY
BIG heads
Have a few teeth
4 phases of Gallahue’s Hourglass model of motor development
Reflexive movement phase
Rudimentary movement phase
Fundamental movement phase
Specialized movement phase
Clarke and Metcalfe - mountain of dev.
Sequential and cumulative
- Age is variable from individual
Task based classification of movements (3)
Stability
Locomotion
Manipulation
Task - Stability
Emphasis on static and dynamic body balance
Task - locomotion
Emphasis on body transportation
Task - manipulation
Imparting force on or receiving force from an object
Phases of movement / motor development
Reflexive
Rudimentary
Fundamental
Reflexive phase of movement
Involuntary subcortically controlled movement in utero and early infancy
