Final Review Flashcards
What are the 4 processes of development?
- growth
- maturation
- learning
- adaptation
What is growth?
physical growth of body structures
What is maturation?
the transition to adult functioning organs and structures
What is learning?
experience that shapes future actions
What is adaptation?
adapting to environment that shapes development
What are the two theories of aging?
genetic and non-genetic
What is the genetic theory of aging?
aging is due to the genetic disposition such as DNA and natural course of declining structures and functioning
What is the non-genetic theory of aging?
things like environmental factors or disease impact aging
Is motor development the same across every culture?
no, different cultures have different patterns of development
How far do new walkers walk in a day and how often do they fall?
7 football fields
15 falls/hour
What are the key concepts of life course health development?
Timing and Timelines
Equity and The Environment
Accumulation and Adaptation
What is timeline in Life Course Development?
today’s experiences and exposures influence tomorrow’s health
What is timing in Life Course Development?
health trajectories are particularly affected during critical/sensitive periods and transitions
What is equity in life course development?
everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible
What is environment in life course development?
health is shaped by our social, economic and environmental conditions
What is adaptation and accumulation in life course development?
adaptation: adjusting to certain conditions shaping the way you approach different things
accumulation: events and other things in life are compounding and have a long term affect on health
Why do we study reflexes and reactions as aspiring PTs?
need to know what is typical and atypical in terms of development, reflexes can be a good indicator of the state of development or impairment
What are the body systems that have influence on postural control?
visual
vestibular
somatosensory
What is the order of development of body systems’ influence on posture control?
visual (primary through first 3 years) -> somatosensory -> vestibular
When is balance completely developed?
15-16 years old
What are the standing balance strategies to stay upright and when are they typically developed?
ankle strategy: 10 months
hip strategy: 12-15 mo
stepping: 3 yo
What are the periods of development?
infancy: birth to 2 yo
childhood: 2 yo to onset puberty (12)
adolescence (youth): onset puberty (12) to 18 yo
adulthood: 18 yo to 65 yo
older adulthood: 65+ yo
What is the proportional growth we experience from infancy to adulthood?
head: 2x
trunk: 3x
arms: 4x
legs: 5x
What are the factors that influence movement?
- individual (physical, body systems)
- family (caregiving practices)
- culture (expectations, values)
- environment (safety, experience)
Which reflexes are often seen in children with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy or tbi?
neonatal positiive support, atnr, stnr
What is the order of development?
development is sequential but not always linear
What is the direction of development?
cephalo-caudally and proximal-distal
What is developed first, fine motor or gross motor skills?
gross motor then fine motor
What comes first, reflexive movement or skilled/controlled movement?
reflexive movement
What is the order of movement development?
flex/ext -> lateral flex -> rotation
What is the typical respiratory rate of an infant?
20-40 br pm
What is the typical respiratory rate of a toddler?
20-30 br pm
What is the typical repiratory rate of a school-aged child?
16-24 br pm
What is the typical respiratory rate of an adolescent?
12-20 br pm
What is the typical respiratory rate of an adult?
12-18 br pm
What is the typical pulse of a neonate?
80-180 bpm
