_____ before local
Total, local or flailing before fine
_____ then distal
proximal, distal
medial then _____
lateral
Hips after _____
head
______ to rostral
cervical
_____ before fine
gross
Flexor before _____
extensor
______ ______ before _____ antigravity
extensor anti-gravity, flexor
Baby considered pre-term if…
born before 37 weeks gestation
Posture of Neonate
less physiological flexion due to lack of flexor tone
Scarf Sign of Neonate
no resistance to passive movement
Popliteal Angle of Neonate
135-180 degrees
Ankle DF of Neonate
60-90 degrees
Slip Through of Neonate
doesn’t set shoulders when held under arms
Pull to Sit of Neonate
complete head lag
Rooting Reflex of Neonate
absent
Sucking Reflex of Neonate
weak
Grasp Reflex of Neonate
absent
ATNR reflex of Neonate
absent
Motor Development Goals
control body against gravity, balance, reciprocal movement, routine based, interest based
Development progressions
prone –> supine –> rolling –> sitting –> standing
Prone Progression
Prone Lying –> Prone on Elbows –> Prone on Extended Arms –> Pivot prone –> Quadruped –> Locomotion in Prone
Supine Progression
Supine Lying –> Pull to Sit –> Feet to Mouth
Rolling Progression
prone to supine before supine to prone
- will start off using gravity to help
Sitting Progression
Supported Sitting –> Propped Sitting –> Ring Sitting –> Half-Ring Sitting –> Long Sitting –> Side Sitting
Standing Progression
Supported Standing –> Independent Standing –> Cruising –> Independent Locomotion –> Stair Climbing
High Guard Position
hands up in air with elbows flexed, wide BOS to maintain balance and keep head up while walking
Balance
Righting, tilting, equilibrium, protective
Fine Motor – Grasp Progression
Grasp reflex until 4 mos –> ulnar palmar –> palmar –> radial palmar –> inferior pincer –> neat pincer grasp
Fine Motor - Release Progression
Banging object on table –> banging objects together –> drops objects –> transfers objects –> by 11 months active release with finger extension
Simplified Gross Motor in 1st year
Rolling - 3 mos
Sitting - 6 mos
Crawling - 9 mos
Walking - 12 mos
Simplified Fine Motor in 1st year
Grasp - 3 mos
Transfers Objects - 6 mos
Purposeful Release - 9 mos
Pincer Grasp - 12 mos
