MP ax
- Cratty’s arm position sequence = 7 position verbally (following instruction) and visually (Important for learning dances, copying things from board
- Cratty’s Jump Sequencing – 8 positions
- Ideo-motor planning = Take an idea that someon gives you and turn it into an action
“Make a bridge” see how many they can make in 5 min
MP ax - 2
- Auditory Clap Patterns - Clap patterns start with 3 beats ranging up to 12 beats – mix of rhythmical + arrhythmic score pass or fail
a. Should improve with age, girls are better - Repeated motor planning - Ability to repeat movements how many times, control and quality of task, maintenance position. Side-to-side, front to back ( vision so is harder)
- DDK – rapidly alternating mvmts
Organisation of MC
= interaction between individual (I), Task (T), and environment (E)
- Task Factors
o Stability = req when sitting or standing static
o Mobility = req when moving BoS
o Task may be manipulated to demand. Eg:
♣ Lifting load, accuracy for task, task certainty and complexity, body orientation, speed
- Environmental factors
o Regulatory features = influence mvmt so must conform to those features eg. Uneven surfaces
o Non-regulatory features = may affect mvmt performance but mvmt does not have to conform to them eg. Background noise
- Individual Factors
o Perception = discernment of sensory info + high level interpretation
o Cognition = attention, planning, problem solving, motivation, engagement, emotion
o Action = how certain activity is accomplished
PC
- Control of body’s position for orientation and balance
o Orientation = controlling relationship betw body segmenets, task, environment
o Balance = controlling CoM in relation to BoS
7 systems for PC
Ms components, NM synergies, adaptive mechanisms, anticipatory mechanisms, internal representation, individual sensory systems, sensory stratergies
Proprioceptive stimuli
include (1)stretch- elongation of tissues which contain mechanoreceptors; and (2a)compression(towards the support surface) and (2b)approximation(towards the centre of the body) - compression/squashing mechanoreceptors
• Proprioception can be assessed for: (1)Registration- basic awareness of body segment position or movement, (2)Perception- interpretation of body segment position or movement - spatial, temporal, weight; (3)Behaviouralresponses to proprioception input
• When testinginfants, or children/adults with lower cognitive function - focus on
(1)automatic position adjustmentduring voluntarymovement, including gross motor and fine motor movements and planning for end-point-comfort;
(2)automatic position adjustmentto facilitated movement, e.g. postural responses cued by proprioception such as body-on-body, body-on-head
• When testing children older than 4 years (with good cognitive function) - formally test
(1) joint position sense- using V:VP (set up), then V:P (easy test), then P:P (difficult test) and
(2) joint movement sense- as per your adult lectures;
(3) weight discrimination- we did not do this in our course, so it is not examinable, but it is possible;
(4) automatic position adjustmentas above

prop Ax for infants
• When testinginfants, or children/adults with lower cognitive function - focus on
(1) automatic position adjustmentduring voluntarymovement, including gross motor and fine motor movements and planning for end-point-comfort;
(2) automatic position adjustmentto facilitated movement, e.g. postural responses cued by proprioception such as body-on-body, body-on-head
• Vestib Ax:
Revise in particular - (1)Response to rotation- nystagmus (normal - few beats; abnormal - persistent nystagmus) AND postural tone (normal - slight extension, starfish - excessive extension, jellyfish - drop in tone); (
2) vestibular head righting;
(3) CTSIB- as per adult lectures
