midterm Flashcards
Pedi Terminology:
- Normal: what occurs naturally, habitually,
- Development: act of acquiring or maturing skills
- Growth: act of maturation
- Development of skills is affected by these context:
- cultural
* personal
* temporal
* virtual
* physical
* social
- 3 Basic Rules of Motor Development
- cephalocaudal progression- head to tail
- proximal to distal progression- trunk to arms
- gross to fine motor control
Principles of Normal Development
- development is sequential and predictable
- maturation and experience affect child’s development
- changes occur in biological, psychological and social systems
- development progresses vertically and horizontally
- Vertical progression:
- lift head
- push on hands
- rolling
- crawling
- creep
- pull to stand
- walk
Rooting Reflex
- position/stimuli: supine & light touch
* positive response: opens mouth and turns head in direction of touch
Suckling/Swallowing Reflex
- position: supine
- stimuli: light touch on mouth
- response: closes mouth and sucks
Neonatal Positive Support
- positing: standing
- stimuli: pressure on feet
- positive response: walking like motion
ATNR
Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex:
- position: supine arms and legs extended
- stimuli: turn head to one side
- positive response: arm and leg on face side extend and skull side flex
- connect brain with body develops hand eye coordination
STNR
Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex
- birth - 4-6mths
- arms extend /legs flex
- +response: arms flex/legs extend
- P: quadruped
- S: flexed head/extended head
TLRS
- TLR: Supine: Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex Supine:
- P: supine head mid arm and legs extend
- S: moved into flexion
- Positive response: ue and le increases when moved into flexion
TLRP
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex Prone:
- P: Prone
- S: being moved in to extension
- +response: ue and le increases when moved into extension
- Major Postural Reflexes/Categories:
- Primitive Reflexes
- Righting Reactions
- Equillibrium Reaction - maintaining balance when pushed off balance
- Protective Extension Reactions
- Righting Reactions:
- body on head
- body on body
- neck on body
- Protective Reactions:
- downward-forward-sideward-backwards
Tummy time:
- allows vertical development
* infant prone positions helps with weight shifting
Postural mechanism
Mobility > Stability> Mobility on Stability> Skill
Righting Reactions
maintain head alignments with body
- Neck righting: neck on body
- Body righting: body on body
* Body on Head: head when in prone
* Ladau: being held in superman extension of head and legs
* Flexion righting: supine baby pulled to sit and maintain head righting
- Protective Reactions:
Protective Extension parachute reactions: a postural response used to prevent a fall that involves straightening of arms or legs
* downward -6-9 mo * forward 6-0 mo * side ward- 7 mo * backward 9-10 mo
Equilibrium Reactions: tilting reactions
- Prone 5-6 mo
* Supine 7-8 mo
* Sitting 7-10 mo
* Quadruped 9-12 mo
* Standing 12-21
Categories/Classification of CP
- involved extremities
- monoplegia-1 limb
- hemiplegia- upper lower same side
- diplegia- upper body and lower- more severe
- paraplegia- below waist
- quadriplegia- 4 limbs
- tetraplegia- all 4 limbs and neck and head
- Spastic CP-
- characterized by hypertonia and spasticity
- distribution of abnormal tone variable
- initiation of movement leads to increase in abnormal tone
- Dyskinetic CP-
- typically abnormal tone distributed in all 4 extremities -quad
Athetosis
*fluctuation of muscle tone from low to normal, with little or no spasticity usually poor co-activation
