4
Q

How does mobility devote

A

Primary repertoire
Kicking, neonatal stepping, locomotor rhythms in embryo

Development:
Cephalocaudal
Prox to distal joints
Coupled to uncoupled
Intra to inter limb coordination

➡️➡️
More adult like dissociated pattern of joint action

Q

What are growing related mobility rate limiting factors

A

Changes in body proportion:
Rate of growth fastest in extremities. Inertia of limb segment triples in first 6 months

Strength weight ratio:

First 8 months disproportionate contribution of fat to overall mass (25%)

Changes in body alignment:

ROM at hops, genu varum at knees, everted talocrural mortice

Q

What are the PC demands of locomotion

A

Weight shift- adaptive positive supporting reaction on the WB
Limb with non supporting reaction of nwb limb

  • adaptive systems for equilibrium control
  • anticipatory and intergrative postural adjustments

Q

Transition from creep/crawl to stand

A

Creep/crawl
Note the impetus of motivation➡️

Sit
Transitioning involves control of trunk rotation, proprioceptive drive➡️

Stand
Easier for babies who crawl, are already half way up
Automatic placing and supporting reactions

Influence of extensor thrust

Q

Why is experience in a variety of environments essential for adaptive PC and motor planning

A

Allows for development of repertoire of strategies

Extends sensorimotor processing competences

Ability to assess the sm characteristics of task and environment and select appropriate PC strategy

16
