Q

explain criterion referenced

A

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)

Q

4 considerations of proper assessment

A
  1. validity (measures that which it is intended to measure)
  2. reliability (repeatability)
  3. objectivity (agreement of examiners)
  4. other (feasible to administer, available funds, level of training etc)

Q

who is the neonatal behavioural assessment scale used by and when is it performed

A
  • 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)

Q

items of the neonatal assessment

- it is used to assess?

A
  • 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.

Q

explain the alberta infant motor scale

  • best for what age?
  • 4 positions?
A

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)

Q

denver developmental screening test

  • test what age?
  • what does it test?
  • developmental delay=
A
  • 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
17
Q

name 2 process orientated assessment instruments

A
  • test of gross motor development 2
  • -> 3-10years (norm referenced and criterion referenced)
  • fundamental movement pattern assessment
  • -> body segments analyzed into 3 stages
18
Q

what are the 3 stages of the fundamental movement pattern assessment instrument

A
  1. initial stage
  2. elementary stage
  3. mature stage
19
Q

what would be assessed in the initial stage of running for the FMPSI?

A
  • short limited leg swing
  • stiff uneven
  • no flight phase
  • arms swing outward
  • swinging toes outward
  • wide base of support
    etc
20
Q

what would be assessed in the elementary stage of running for the FMPSI?

A
  • increased stride length
  • little phase phase
  • swinging foot crosses midline
  • more complete extension of support leg
21
Q

what would be assessed in the mature stage of running for the FMPSI?

A
