gross motor skills

early continuous postural management

30
Q

interventions during infancy

A

education to families, proper positioning, postural stability, smooth mobility

31
Q

interventions during preschool

A

independent mobility/functional independence, development of locomotor, cognitive, communication, fine motor, self care and social abilities

32
Q

interventions during school age, adolescent, adulthood

A

maintain achieved level of activity, participation in age appropriate activities or interests, health promotion and physical activity, prevent secondary impairments

33
Q

position you want CP pt in..

prone lying or where the muscles are most lengthened

34
Q

what will positioning allow for?

A

improves function and participation

prevents secondary impairments

controls PF, maintains longitudinal arch, prevents hyperextension

37
Q

negatives of AFOs
