Motor Skills Acquisition Flashcards
crossed extension reflex
integration: medulla position: supine, head midline, 1LE flexed, 1LE extended stimulation: flexion of extended LE response: extension of other LE
flexion withdrawal
integration: medulla position: supine, head midline, LE extension stimulation: stimulate plantar surface of one foot response: flexion of stimulated LE
asymmetrical tonic neck reflex
integration: pons position: supine, head in midline stimulation: turn head to one side (leave there) response: extension of face-side extremities, flexion of occiput-side extremities
symmetrical tonic neck reflex
integration: pons position: supported quaruped position stimulation: extension of neck response: extension of UE and flexion of LE * opposite for flexion of neck
tonic labyrinthine reflex
integration: vestibular system? position: supine or prone stimulation: being in supine position or slight neck extension (or being in prone position or slight neck flexion) response: increased extensor tone (or flexor tone)
positive support
integration: vestibular system? position: vertical suspension stimulation: touch plantar surface of foot on firm surface response: increased flexor tone
neck on body righting reaction
integration: midbrain position: supine, head midline, extremities extended stimulation: turning head/body to one side response: log rolling in same direction as head
body on body righting reaction
integration: midbrain position: supine, head midline, extremities extended stimulation: turning head/body to one side response: segmental rolling
labyrinthine neck righting
integration: midbrain position: vertical suspension stimulation: lateral movements response: righting of head to vertical position
visual neck righting
integration: midbrain position: vertical suspension stimulation: lateral movements response: righting of head to vertical position
equilibrium reaction
integration: cortical position: any position stimulation: lateral/rotation movements response: brings back COG over base of support
protection reaction
integration: cortical position: any position stimulation: COG pushed out of base of support response: hand/foot placement to create new base of support
moro reflex
integration: semi-circular canals position: semi-sitting position stimulation: take away head support response: shoulder ABD, elbow extension, hand opening
landau reflex
integration: semi-circular canals? position: prone in space stimulation: raise head (actively or passively) response: total extension
parachute reflex
integration: semi-circular canals? position: prone in space stimulation: head towards ground response: elbow and wrist extension, finger extension, and ABD
how many stages in supine acquisition?
6
describe supine stage 1
- random movements (from hips and shoulders), no flexion control
describe supine stage 2
- asymmetric tonic neck reflex, visual tracking, neck extension increased
describe supine stage 3
- antigravity neck flexor control (capital flexion), hand flexion (against gravity)
describe supine stage 4
- VOR (dissociation head and eye movements), abs activate, hands to knees, flexed roll to side, ant. pelvic tilt (w post. tilt too), midline neck control
describe supine stage 5
-feet to mouth (obliques, abdominal, hip flexors, post. pelvis tilt) - roll to side lying then to prone
describe supine stage 6
- head raised off surface! - rolls directly to prone (initiated with neck flex or upper extremity) - begins to dissociate body segments - bridging! (hip extend, knee flex) - good pelvic control - lateral righting reaction begins
what is the order of the protective reactions?
1) forward 2) sideways 3) backwards
