Exam 2 Flashcards
distributed vs massed has to do with
intensity
Blocked vs random has to do with
sequence
explain constant vs variable
has to do with variability. consistant performance of the same task, vs varying char of the task
guidance vs discovery
how much you are involved, are you letting them discover most of the solutions themselves or are you primarily guiding them
KR vs KP
knowledge of results vs knowledge of performance (KR better)
Serial, continuous and discrete
serial - multiple discrete tasks in a row
continuous-no beginning or end
discrete- has beginning and end
4 main factors contributing to postural control
MSK sx
neuro sx - sensation
Neuromusular sx - control and coordination
enviroment
postural control develops cephalo caudel, meaning
head to toe
reflexes that effect the tone of the entire body
attitudinal/postural
3 main types of reflexes
attitudinal/postural
righting
balance/protective
in the hierarchial theory of development, what reflex type is the foundation
attitudinal/postural (lack of these often indicate dev delay or pathologies)
List the 3 attitudinal/postural reflexes
asymmetrical tonic neck reflex
symmetrical tonic neck reflex
tonic labyrinthine
explain asymmetrical tonic neck reflex
fencer pose
asymmetrical tonic age range
birth - 6 mos
explain symmetrical tonic neck reflex
whatever neck does, UE follow, and LE do opp
explain tonic labyrinthine reflex
when placed prone, babies will flex their bodies inward
when placed supine, they will extend outward
age range of tonic labyrinthine reflex
up to 6 mos
5 righting rxns
labyrinthine righting optical righting body on head righting body on body righting neck on body righting
what is labyrinthine righting
you do something to restrict/prevent their vision, and as you tilt the suspended body, they maintain upright head (horizontal gaze)
what is optical righting
same as labyrinthine, but without loss of vision
how long do we have labyrinthine and optical righting
over the lifespan
what is body on head righting
when the body is placed prone, the head will want to be upright
how long do we have body on head righting
up to 5 yrs
what is body on body righting
if you rotate a segment of the body (ex UE) the opposing segment (LE) will follow to align
what is neck on body righting
as you rotate their head, the body will follow suit
___________ are innate reactions that align the body for proper alignment
righting reactions
List the balance/protective reactions
equilibrium (tilting)
Postural fixation
List the time frames of when we start to see balance/protective reactions for prone, supine, sitting, quadruped, standing
Months prone 6 supine 7-8 sitting 7-8 quad 9-2 wallking 12-21
protective reactions occur when
COG is outside of the normal limits or when there is a LOS
which balance/prot rxn is when the baby curves the trunk and uses extremities to try and correct/straighten the tilting
equilibrium
which balance/protection rxn occurs as baby is reaching, displacing COG and the baby curves the trunk towards the external force
postural fixation
as the dev of reflexes become integrated they reinforce what
muscle tone
typical age of starting to crawl
8-10 mos
typical age of sitting upright
6-7 mos
typical age of leaning against something as they stand
9-10 mos
typical age of independent stance
12 mos
what is a key component to dx dev delay in babies, what are we looking at very early
head control
normal posture control depends on
COM
BOS
reflex hierarchial theory states that reflexes are all____ to balance
reactive
according to hierarchial theory, list the tiers or levels of what babies achieve in regards to balance/posture
1st - attitudinal reflexes
2nd -righting reflexes
3rd - balance/protective reflexes
then postural control
what is systems theory
states that anticipatory responses act when we are aware of the need to change our position/posture. anticipatory responses develop parallel to reactive
4 stages of motor control
initial mobility stability controlled mobility skill (I S C S)
explain initial mobility stage
AROM is required for posture (ex: baby prone on elbows)
explain stability stage
baby can hold the posture (maintains it)
explain controlled mobility stage
baby can control or shift wt
explain skill stage
baby can reach out in front
prominent sensory system used at birth-few days (newborn)
visual
