Q

Reflexes are ____ at birth

A

present at birth and are integrated

develop to assist the child

primitive reflexes at birth, over time become integrated (increased myelination, increased strength and weight, exposure to different positions and increased stimulation)

protective response reflex later develop as infant grows

Q

what is ATNR?

A

Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex

head turned to 1 side results in arm & leg extension on face side and flexion on scalp side

Q

what is STNR?

A

Symmetrical tonic neck reflex

neck extension produces UE / and LE flexion

normal age from 6-8 months

interferes with POE (prone on elbows), quad, crawling, sitting balance looking and use of hands in this position

Q

what is protective extension in sideways sitting?

A

displace trunk to each side and should extend arms to same side to catch weight

present at 6-7 months

22
Q

what is protective extension in backwards sitting?

A

pull child backwards and should response with arm extension to support weight

present at 9-12 months

23
Q

what are 2 upright reflexes?

A

1- positive standing reflex

2- walking reflex/stepping reflex

24
Q

what is the positive standing reflex?

A

when weight placed on balls of feet child stiffens legs and trunk into extension

disappears at 2 months

interferences with standing, walking, weight shift in standing, plantar flexor contracture

25
Q

what is the walking reflex/stepping reflex?

A

supported upright on soles of feet results in flexion and extension of LEs

disappears at 2 months

interferes with standing, walking, balance reactions, weight shift standing, development of smooth coordinated reciprocal LE movements

26
Q

dynamical systems (Thelen- 1990’s)

What is the View on “stages”?

A

apparent stages of development are actually states of relative stability arising from the self-organizing, emergent properties of a multitude of systems, each developing at its own continuous rate

27
Q

dynamical systems (Thelen- 1990’s)

What is the driving force for development?

A

The individual develops as the organism recognizes the affordances of the environment and selects (self-organizes) the more appropriate available responses to tasks

28
Q

Dynamical Systems (Thelen- 1990’s)

what are the building blocks of development?

A

multiple cooperating systems with individual rates of development and self-motivated exploration of the environment

29
Q

what are the Dynamic Systems Theory of Motor Control?

A

1- pattern generation of the coordinative structures leading to reciprocal LE activity, consisting primarily of alternative flexor muscle activation

2- development of reciprocal muscle activity of flexor and extensor muscles

3- strength of extensor muscles needed for opposing the force of gravity

4- changes in body size and composition

5- antigravity control of upright posture of the head and trunk

6- appropriate decoupling of the tight synchronization of characteristics of early reciprocal LE movements, such that the knee moves out of phase with the hip and ankle

7- visual flow sensitivity required to maintain posture while moving through the environment

8- ability to recognize the requirements of the task and be motivated to move toward a goal

30
Q

what are factors for motor development?

A

CNS maturation (cognition/motivation)

musculoskeletal changes (body size)

cardiorespiratory changes

environment– opportunity to practice

31
Q

what is the relationship between development and motor skills?

A
cephalo> caudal
GM>FM
proximal>distal
stability >mobility
flexibility > mobility

development is “stage like” with fluctuating between them

sensitive periods

32
Q

what is the developmental sequence?

A

wide variety of normal

a typical baby progresses to the next skill before mastering the previous one
