Motor Development 7mo+ Flashcards
7 mo general
Variety in movement and positioning
Variance in skill emergence
Rarely remain in supine for long
7 mo prone
Independent and functional
Reaching
LE dissociation
7 mo quad
Transitions from prone to sitting to quad
Ricking
7 mo mobility
Crawling
Creeping
7 mo sitting
Experiments w/ ne LE positions
7 mo standing
Beginning to pull to stand using people or furniture
Shift weight back to fall or sit onto floor
When held at chest or hands, baby attempt to walk forward
7 mo atypical
Creeping by moving both leg forward simultaneously
W sits and is unable to transition out of position - dont have adequate trunk control —> hip plus knee issues
Importance of creeping
Development of proximal strength and stability
Development of postural control
Pelvic dissociation
Activates both hemispheres
8 mo
Movement is motivated by desire to explore enviro
8 mo sitting
Able to adopt and maintain a variety of LE postures
-ring sitting commonly employed when engaged in fine motor tasks
Rotates trunk and reaches in all directions
Transitions to quadruped
-tucking one leg and foot under belly
Move pelvis and trunk over tibia and tucked leg
8 mo mobility
Creeping - reciprocal extremity move moments
Pull to stand- kneeling to half kneeling
Climbing
Standing at furniture - begin to cruise
Walking - stands holding onto examiners fingers, walks w/ steppage pattern
9th month primary means of mobility
Creeping
Improved speed and control
Changes directions w/ ease
9 mo sitting
Well developed trunk control
Long, ring, side, w
Easy transitions in/out of sitting
Engages in fine motor play
9 mo mobility
Crawling - climbs into chair, ascends stairs
Standing at furniture - lowers in controlled manner, widens BOS based on anticipated need
Cruising
10 mo
Enjoys exploring enviro
Majority of time spend moving in and out of sitting
-retrieving and moving toys
Creeping and climbing
10 month rising to stand
Kneeling w/ out external support
Transitions to 1/2 kneel w/ or w/out support
May use only one hand in transition to stand
10 mo crushing
Variety of patterns along furniture of varying heights and firmness
Beginning to move across open spaces and around corners
10 mo supported walking
Begins w/ stand and walk w/ one hand held
11 mo
Begins to climb off furniture backwards from quadruped
Rising to stand through squatting
Standing at furniture - may release both hands during play, widening BOS as needed
11 mo supported walking
Maintains WS toward side of support
Takes shorter step on support side
11 mo unsupported walking
Abduct legs for wide BOS in unsupported standing or walking
Abducts arms and flexes elbows
12 mo
Experiements w/ new enviro and new objects w/ independence
-climb on or into anything they wish to investigate
Transition in and out of sitting to quadruped, kneeling, squatting and standing
Uses creeping to move quickly
May play in squatting position
12 mo independent standing
BOS is wide for stability
Lower to floor w/ or w/out support
12 mo indep walking
Emergence of skill onset varies Wide BOS Maintains hip ER throughout gait cycle Synchronous flex of hip, knee, and ankle of swing leg Ext of stance leg Flat foot contact
