Final Ch. 11 Flashcards
Voluntary movement groups: Stability
- Head control
- upright posture
Vol. Movement groups: Locomotion
- crawling
- creeping
- walking
Vol. Movement Groups :Manipulation
- reaching
- grasping
- releasing
Cephalocaudal
cephalo-head
caudal-tail
-head control -> upper body control -> lower body control
Head Control (stability)
- vol movement begins w the head
- control evident at 1 month
- infant elevates head when prone at 2 months
- infant positions head form left to right or right to left when prone at 2-3 months
- infant elevates head when supine at 5 months
Body Control (stability)
- chest elevation
- ability to maintain upright posture; frees hands for reaching and grasping
- crawling
- rolling back and forth
- sits alone
- pulls self to standing position
- stands unassisted
Locomotion
moving the body in space
-movement from one location in space to another
Prone (Locomotion)
Crawling (face down) -body is dragged -precedes creeping Creeping -body is elevated -more efficient form of prone locomotion
Uprigh (locomotion)
Walking-vol. movement
-important indicator in mature movement
Manipulation
Use of the hands enabling children to gather information about their environment in a new way
-Reaching Grasping Releasing
Manipulation- reaching, grasping, releasing: Phase I
- “simultaneous” reaching
- “one handed” reaching
- “visual” initiation of the reach
- “visual” control of the grasp
Manipulation- reaching, grasping, releasing: Phase II
- “differentiated” reaching
- “two handed” reaching
- visual initiation and “guidance” of the reach
- “tactile” control of the grasp
Anticipation and Object control in reaching and grasping
- anticipation is not always accurate (expects unknown long object to weigh more than short object
- anticipation and strength of grip develop over several years 2-9 yrs.
