BIOMED 10/21b Motor Dev 1 Flashcards
development themes
- variability
- expected in young children, but not expected to be the exact same way - range of typical development
- range of when it is typical to develop skills
- interplay o how the child is developing and their environment - Multiple factors impact motor skill acquisition
milestone acquisition
- enviroment and exposure
- musculoskeletal
- predisposition
developmental domains
- sensory
- cognitive
- motor
- communication
how should children respond to sensory stimuli in developmental domains?
- Taste, touch, sound, feel, see
2. Able to respond in the same way as other children their age
what are some issues children may have with cognitive developmental domains
Difficulties reading and writing
what are gross motor patterns
larger motor patterns (PT)
what are fine motor patterns
handwriting and drip (OT)
rate of development
children from different areas, looked at skills via assessment
-all bands overlap and progress with similar
gestational age
time from first date of last menstrual period of mother to the time of birth
- Use in neonatal setting (NICU)
- Need to look at gross motor as if the patient was still in the womb
promenstrual age
period of time from last day of menstrual period to the date of assessment
chronogical age
age on calendar at term and full term
adjusted age
depends on when the child was born in relation to the date of assessment
when is a preterm delivery?
<37 weeks
when is a late preterm delivery
34-36 weeks
what are interventions with late preterm delivered patients?
keep them warm
encourage parents and caregivers for touch and care of the child
ventilatory support
