Assessment Flashcards
the process of physical motor assessment involves
- measurement
- evaluation (norm referenced and criterion referenced)
explain norm referenced
compared to the norm, developed at hierarchy, where do they fit in compared to the norm)
explain criterion referenced
cut off values, what level do they perform at?
–> some are PRODUCT orientates (how fast you can do it) and some are PROCESS (looking at quality of movement rather than outcome)
purposes of assessment (9)
- Diagnosis / screening (helps with this) and what will happen next
- Determine status
- Placement
- Program content
- Program evaluation
- Construction of norms and -performance standards
- Research
- Prediction
- Motivation of individuals
4 considerations of proper assessment
- validity (measures that which it is intended to measure)
- reliability (repeatability)
- objectivity (agreement of examiners)
- other (feasible to administer, available funds, level of training etc)
what is the apgar scale?
newborn assessment including
- appearance
- pulse
- grimace (reflexive grimace initiated by stimulating the plantar surface of the foot)
- activity (muscle tone)
- respiratory effort
90% of babies score what on the apgar scale?
7 or higher
who is the neonatal behavioural assessment scale used by and when is it performed
- 2- 3 days after birth/ 9-10 days (at home)
- Used by: Paediatricians, neonatologists, all those involved in the examination of the newborn infant including, e.g. nurses, psychologists, OTs, PTs, early intervention specialists, social workers and other allied health professionals (attend NBAS training courses)
items of the neonatal assessment
- it is used to assess?
- behavioural (state regulation, reflex) and supplementary (light sounds touch)
- assesses the risk of later behavioural, analyze the relationship between neonatal behavioural characteristics and behavioural problems in childhood.
what does the neonatal assessment assume?
- a newborn is capable
- babies communicate with behaviours
- infants are social organisms
what is state regulation
deep sleep, crying, transitions from one state to another
name 5 more infant assessments
The Bayley Scales of Infant Development
The Alberta Infant Motor Scale
Posture and Fine Motor Assessment of Infants
Toddler and Infant Motor Evaluation
Test of Infant Motor Performance
explain the alberta infant motor scale
- best for what age?
- 4 positions?
standardized assessments to identify motor delays, norm referenced
- functional movements: 0-18m
- best for 3-9m
- 4 positions: prone, supine, sitting, standing
- points allocated for observed items ( weight bearing, anti gravity movement, posture)
posture and fine motor assessment of infants
- what age?
- what does is test?
- 3 categories of assessment?
- 2-12m
- 4 point scale; posture and fine motor skill
- stability of posture, movement against gravity, trunk stability and extension
school age standardized assessment, name some
-Ages and Stages Questionnaire
Parents complete (1m – 5.5y; F&G)
-The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST)
Motor Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC)
-Peabody Development Motor Scales II
-Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2)
-Test of Gross Motor Development – 2 and soon ‘3’
-Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL)
denver developmental screening test
- test what age?
- what does it test?
- developmental delay=
- birth to 6 years
- percentage of typically developing children passing the item
- identifies possible delays or where children are ver well at
- delay = failed item passed by 90% of children
name 2 process orientated assessment instruments
- test of gross motor development 2
- -> 3-10years (norm referenced and criterion referenced)
- fundamental movement pattern assessment
- -> body segments analyzed into 3 stages
what are the 3 stages of the fundamental movement pattern assessment instrument
- initial stage
- elementary stage
- mature stage
what would be assessed in the initial stage of running for the FMPSI?
- short limited leg swing
- stiff uneven
- no flight phase
- arms swing outward
- swinging toes outward
- wide base of support
etc
what would be assessed in the elementary stage of running for the FMPSI?
- increased stride length
- little phase phase
- swinging foot crosses midline
- more complete extension of support leg
what would be assessed in the mature stage of running for the FMPSI?
- max stride length
- flight phase
- arm swing opposite of feet
- arms bent right angles
- thigh parallel to ground
etc
