Motor Development 1 & 2 Flashcards
When is the onset and integration of primitive reflexes?
Some reflexes are present as early as _________ weeks gestation.
28 weeks
(About 6.4 months)
Reflexes in a typically developing child (should / should not) be obligatory
Should NOT
What is meant by “reflexes in a typically developing child should not be obligatory” ?
The infant should NOT do the reflex every time the stimulus is given.
True or false
The response depends on the state of the infant and the nervous system
True
Duration of Rooting
Birth to 3 months
Duration of spontaneous stepping
Birth to 2 months
Duration of suck/swallow
Birth to 2/5 months
Duration of Moro or Startle
Birth to 5/6 months
Log rolling with head/body movement
- neonatal NOB
- neonatal BOB
When is it present ?
When does it integrate ?
Present at or before birth
Integrates by 4-5 months when segmental rolling begins
Tonic labyrinthine reflex TLR
When is it present?
When is it integrated ?
Present at or before birth
Integrates at 6 months
Traction / Crossed extension / Flexor withdrawal / Proprioceptive Placing LE & UE
When are they present ?
When do they integrate ?
Present before birth
Integrates around 2 months
Plantar grasp duration
Birth to 9 months
Palmar grasp duration
Birth to 4/6 months
Galant duration
32 weeks to 2 months
Positive supporting (neonatal) duration
35 weeks to 2 months
ATNR duration
Birth to 4/6 months
STNR duration
4/6 months to 8/12 months
What are the automatic reactions + their BOS?
(BOS: base of support)
Righting reactions: Well within BOS
Tilting reactions : Close to edge of BOS
Equilibrium reactions: Close to edge of BOS
Protective reactions : Beyond BOS
Which automatic reaction is this?
- Securing the head in space
- Must develop in all planes
Righting reactions
Which automatic reaction is this?
- Securing the body in space when being on a MOVABLE surface (moderate perturbation to surface)
Tilting reactions
Which automatic reaction is this?
Securing the body in space when being on a STABLE surface (moderate perturbation to the body)
Equilibrium reactions
Which automatic reaction is this?
Regaining balance when the center of mass has been pushed beyond the borders of the BOS .
Protective reactions
What is the purpose of righting reactions?
When is the onset and integration?
Purpose:
- to get into and maintain upright posture for locomotion
- righting of the head and body to the horizon or adjust parts of the body to the vertebral axis
Onset: birth - PERSISTS
