Motor Development Across the Lifespan & Adaptive Life

Question 1

Identify, state, and explain the types of infantile reflexes: infantile, ATNR, sucking, rooting, Babinski, Palmar.

Question 2

Identify, state, and explain the types of postural reflexes: postural, Labyrinthine, derotative righting, parachute (lower body, upper body anterior, lateral, posterior), FOOSH.

Question 3

Explain the differences in what happens to infant reflexes compared to postural reflexes as development continues.

Question 4

Identify and explain what happens in: torticollis, plagiocephaly

Question 5

Identify timeframes when major motor milestones typically occur (0-17 months-ish).

Question 6

Explain how motor development can be encouraged in infants.

Question 7

Explain what a mini-motor milestone is.

Question 8

Explain what tummy time is an when to use it.

Question 9

State the 4 principles of motor developments trend order of development: cephalocaudal,
proximodistal, general to specific, flexion before extension.

Question 10

Apply Newell’s model and infant reflexes to encourage motor development skills.

Question 11

Define, identify, and differentiate adaptive equipment, prosthesis, orthosis, activities of daily living (ADLs).

Question 12

Be able to apply Newels model in providing examples for how task constraints can be modified with AEs, prosthesis, or orthosis for people with disabilities and mobility challenges.

Question 13

Be able to apply Newels model in providing examples for how task constraints can be modified with AEs, prosthesis, or orthosis for people with disabilities and mobility challenges.
